Here's what former teammates are saying, "I thought dog walking at Citizen Hound would be another of those regular jobs, but boy was I wrong. I would highly encourage anyone to work for this company, whether they want a career in animal care or not. What this job has done for my mental health is astronomical. From the culture of family on the team, to the incredible dogs, to spending time in the beautiful outdoors of San Francisco every day, to making the dogs’ parents happy by making their dogs happy, this job has given me so much happiness I can’t put it into words."

​

For us, there is no such thing as mandatory work nights, weekends, or holidays, however, good extra income is available to you through boarding and outside hours walks on your own personal schedule as needed by our clientele. If you can sit dogs you can make thousands in cash. 

​
