Winthrop Dog Walker

Marathon Mutts is the premier dog-walking squad in Winthrop, MA, and we’re looking to add another human to our pack.

We specialize in one-on-one "solo dates" (no chaotic 10-dog-tangle-messes here!), allowing you to build deep, meaningful relationships with dogs who will eventually love you more than their own owners.

The "Vibe" We’re Looking For:

• You should be the kind of person who sees a dog in a stroller and thinks, "That’s reasonable." We need a self-motivated, high-energy human who prioritizes the safety of our furry clients above all else.
• If you’re the person who narrates what a dog is "probably thinking" in a funny voice, you’re our people.

Your Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It):

• Weather-Proof Personal Trainer: You will walk, run, or jog our clients' pups.

This happens in the glorious New England "Four Seasons":

• Blizzard, Mud, Humidity, and More Mud.

The Poop Patrol:

• You’re not just a walker; you’re a sanitation engineer.
• You’ll be responsible for picking up "gifts" left on the Winthrop sidewalks and ensuring the local lawn-care enthusiasts stay happy.

Butler Services:

• You’ll check food and water bowls, providing refreshments to the athletes after their workout.

Doggy Correspondent:

• You’ll communicate with owners to let them know their dog is a genius (or a goofball) and keep a sharp eye out for any medical "weirdness" during your shift.

The Non-Negotiables (The "Serious" Stuff):

• The Golden Window: You must be available Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM.
• Specifically, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays are the holy trinity of dog walking—you must be there.

These dogs have schedules tighter than a CEO’s; they don't do "rescheduling." The Getaway Car:

• A valid Driver’s License and a dependable vehicle are mandatory.
• You need a car that can handle the Winthrop "scenic routes" and won't decide to take a nap on the way to a client's house.

Physical Prowess:

• You must be able to walk, run, bend, reach, and occasionally win a game of tug-of-war.

You should be able to lift up to 15 lbs (the equivalent of a very dense Frenchie) and handle dogs of all sizes—from "Teacup" to "Small Pony." Why You’ll Love It:

• Free Therapy: Get paid in puppy kisses and tail wags.

Total Independence:

• Enjoy the freedom of the open road (and the open sidewalk) without a boss hovering over your shoulder.

The "Marathon Mutts" Crew:

• While you work solo, you’ve got a team of fellow dog-nerds to bounce ideas off of and complain about the Winthrop bridge traffic with.

Requirements:

• Prior dog experience is preferred, but a massive heart for animals and a "never-say-die" attitude toward New England weather is essential.
