Office Support Substitute

Do you run your own online business, freelance, or otherwise work for yourself from home?

Imagine swapping your kitchen table for a lively dog facility where you can do your normal work, hang out with dogs, and get paid hourly on top of the income you're already earning.

We're building a small pool of Office Support Substitutes at Four-Legged Fun Zone.

This isn't a traditional part-time job—it's a flexible substitute setup designed for self-employed professionals who want a fun, paid change of scenery a few days a month. HOW THE "PAID CO-WORKING" SETUP WORKS Bring Your Laptop:

• Set up shop in our space and do the same income-producing work you'd normally be doing at home.

Pick Your Sub Day:

• Choose at least one weekday as your designated substitute day.
• You aren't paid to reserve the day, and a shift isn't guaranteed.

When our regular team needs backup, we'll typically reach out the evening before to see if you can work 9:

• 00 AM–2:00 PM.

Step In & Step Out:

• When we need an extra hand, pause your own work, help our team or greet a client, and then head back to your desk when you're no longer needed.
• Substitutes are expected to accept shifts when coverage is needed on their designated day to remain active in the substitute pool.
• WHAT YOU'LL DO WHEN WE NEED YOU While much of your shift may be spent doing your own work, Four-Legged Fun Zone comes first while you're on the clock.

Depending on what the team needs, you may help with:

• Front Desk & Greeting: Welcome clients, assist with basic check-ins/checkouts, and provide front-desk coverage.

Paws-On Deck:

• Step in so daycare staff can take a break, actively supervise dogs, or help safely move dogs between rooms and play areas.

Grooming Support:

• Supervise a grooming dog waiting for pickup, bring a dog to their owner at checkout, or provide an extra set of hands by holding or steadying a dog for the groomer.

Facility Help:

• Set up or take down x-pens, help with Dream Den transitions, and pitch in with light cleaning or other basic facility tasks. WHO THIS IS PERFECT FOR The Work-From-Home Business Owner: You already have an established business, freelance/contract work, online sales, or other self-employed work you can bring with you.

The Flexible Worker:

• Your work doesn't depend on uninterrupted calls, back-to-back Zoom meetings, or strict minute-by-minute deadlines.
• You can pause your work when we need you—and keep it paused if coverage takes longer than expected.

The Dog Enthusiast:

• You're comfortable around dogs of every size—including 150+ lb dogs—and don't mind barking, slobber, dog hair, muddy paws, and the energy of an active pet facility.
• THE LESS-EXCITING STUFF Every fun job comes with a little fine print.

Before you pack up your laptop and come hang out with the dogs, here are the boxes we need you to check:

• The Pay: $18/hour, or $90 for a full 9 AM–2 PM substitute shift.
• Shifts are offered as needed and are not guaranteed.

Established Work-From-Home Income:

• Currently have an established business, freelance/contract work, online business, or other self-employed income-producing work you normally perform from home.

Stability:

• At least one position, business, or ongoing professional commitment held for 12+ consecutive months since 2023.

Customer Experience:

• At least 1 year of experience in a fast-paced, customer-facing role.

Local to Everett:

• Live within a 15-minute drive of 6628 Evergreen Way.

Physical Capability:

• Comfortable being on your feet when needed and able to stand, walk, bend, crouch, move x-pens, and safely assist with dogs—including very large dogs.

Reliability:

• Strong communication and follow-through.
• Once you accept a shift, we're counting on you.

Background Check:

• Must be able to pass a federal background check.

Dress for Dogs:

• Comfortable, durable clothes and closed-toe shoes are a must.
• Expect dog hair, muddy paws, slobber, and the occasional mess.
• IMPORTANT REALITY CHECK This is not a traditional part-time job.
• Hours are not guaranteed, and this position is not intended to develop into a regular part-time or full-time schedule.
• This is not a desk-only job.
• Although you'll have time to work on your own business during many shifts, you'll interact directly with dogs and may need to put your laptop away when coverage is needed.
• Your own work must be truly flexible.
• If you can't immediately step away from it when a client, dog, groomer, or daycare team member needs you, this won't be the right setup. READY TO UPGRADE YOUR WORK-FROM-HOME DAY?
• If you've already got portable work, love dogs, and like the idea of earning extra money while doing work you were going to do anyway, we'd love to hear from you.
