Now Hiring: Full-Time Driver/Hiker
We’re looking for a reliable, responsible, and dog-loving professional to join our pack as a full-time Driver/Hiker. This role is essential to keeping our operation running smoothly — safely transporting dogs to and from hikes, assisting with loading/unloading, and hiking a pack of 4 dogs for 2-hours.

- Reliable & Punctual: You value consistency and show up on time, every time — our clients (and their pups) depend on it.

- Physically Capable: Able to lift dogs up to 60 lbs, load gear, and handle light cleaning tasks.
