WORK WITH SIMPLY PETS
Good with pets. Great at showing up.
Dog walking and pet sitting jobs in the Fox Valley for people who care about the little things: the right harness, a thoughtful update, and a securely locked door.
A local team. Work that matters.
You’ll spend your visits caring for pets in their own homes, working independently with a team to support you. We’re looking for reliable people who follow instructions, communicate clearly, and take the responsibility of entering someone’s home seriously.
Our team cares for pets across the Fox Valley, from St. Charles, Geneva, and Batavia through Aurora, Oswego, Yorkville, and Plainfield. Openings depend on local routes and client needs.
