This role is perfect for someone who wants hands-on experience in managing a business unit. You’ll develop skills in customer service, employee management, scheduling/logistics, and business operations—all while working in a rewarding industry that helps pets live happier lives.

Responsibilities:

1. Ensure Exceptional Pet Care Services:

  • Oversee daily scheduling, schedule optimization and coordination to ensure efficient and timely services.
  • Maintain a high level of client satisfaction by communicating with clients regularly to solicit feedback, solve ad hoc requests, and when needed, resolve complaints to 100% client satisfaction.
  • Provide spot walking coverage, on occasion, to maintain service continuity.

2. Team Development and Management:

  • Manage a team of ~15 dog walkers, fostering a culture of excellence in pet care.
  • Coordinate structured training programs for new dog walkers, setting clear job expectations and cultivating a positive team culture.
  • Work with field managers by providing ongoing guidance and support as they meet day-to-day challenges.
  • Foster staff retention and engagement through effective communication, addressing concerns, providing timely feedback, and promoting a positive work environment.
  • Assist with recruitment, interviews, onboarding, and terminations when needed.

3. Business Operations Support:

  • Coordinate new client introductory meetings and onboarding.
  • Client Relations: Improve relationships, explain services, answer questions, and resolve any client concerns.
  • Assist the General Manager with interesting projects from time to time.


This is a full-time role onsite in Midtown Manhattan, generally Monday-Friday, with some flexibility required for occasional weekend or holiday coverage, as needed.
