Love Dogs? Turn Your Passion into Pay with Dogs Go Hiking

At Dogs Go Hiking (DGH), we are more than just a dog walking service; we are a community of passionate dog lovers dedicated to providing the best care and adventure for our furry clients. Operating on both the North Shore and South Shore of Massachusetts, DGH offers a unique and fulfilling work experience that sets us apart from the rest. Here’s why being a part of our team is so rewarding.

A Super Fun Team Environment

One of the standout aspects of working at DGH is our vibrant team culture. We believe in fostering a fun and supportive environment where every staff member feels valued. Our monthly meetings and brainstorming sessions are productive and are a great way to bond with fellow dog enthusiasts. These gatherings provide an opportunity to share ideas, celebrate successes, and strategize on offering top-notch services to our clients. The camaraderie and mutual support within our team make every day at DGH enjoyable and fulfilling.

South Shore Pioneers in the Dog Hiking Industry

DGH was the first company on the South Shore to offer dog hikes, a service that has set the bar high for others. With over eight years in the business, our reputation speaks for itself. Our commitment to fun for our canine clients and customer satisfaction for their human owners is reflected in the glowing reviews we receive on Google and Facebook. We take immense pride in being trailblazers and continuously strive to maintain our status as industry leaders.

Expanding Horizons

Launched in 2016 for our fur friends in the communities of Scituate, Cohasset, Norwell, and Hingham and some parts of Marshfield on the South Shore, DGH hiking outings became a local favorite for dog owners looking for active outdoor activities for their pups. 

In January 2021, we expanded our services to the Newburyport area, bringing our expertise and passion for dog hiking to a new community. This expansion covering the towns of Newburyport, Newbury, West Newbury, Groveland, Georgetown, Rowley, Amesbury, and Salisbury is a testament to our success, the trust that clients place in us, and the need for diverse exercise opportunities for dogs beyond the traditional doggy daycare. As we grow, so do the opportunities for our staff. Joining DGH means being part of a dynamic and evolving company that values your contribution and offers room for personal and professional growth.

Financial Benefits and Support

At DGH, we understand the importance of supporting our staff both professionally and financially. We reimburse staff for mileage, acknowledging the use of personal vehicles for work. This not only eases the financial burden but also shows our appreciation for the dedication and effort of our team members. Additionally, our comprehensive liability policy covers all staff, so there’s no need for you to carry your own insurance. This peace of mind allows you to focus on what you love – spending time with dogs and providing excellent service.

Convenient and Efficient Scheduling

Managing your schedule at DGH is a breeze thanks to Time to Pet, our advanced scheduling software and smartphone app. This user-friendly tool makes it easy to organize your workweek, track appointments, and communicate with clients and other team members. The convenience of this app ensures that you can efficiently manage your time, commitments, and clients, leading to a more balanced and stress-free work experience.

Competitive Pay and Perks

We believe in rewarding our staff for their hard work and dedication. DGH offers competitive pay, with weekly direct deposits ensuring you receive your earnings promptly. In addition to your salary, many of our clients generously tip our staff, and 100% of these tips go directly to the walker. This additional income is a great perk and a reflection of the high level of excellent service we provide.

Investment in Your Professional Development

DGH is committed to the continuous improvement and development of our staff. We cover the costs for our team members to become certified in pet First Aid and CPR. This training not only enhances your skills and knowledge but also boosts your confidence in handling any situation that may arise while out on hikes. Our investment in your professional growth underscores our dedication to maintaining the highest standards of care and safety for our clients and their pets.

Making a Difference Every Day

Working at DGH is not just a job; it’s an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of dogs and their owners. The joy and gratitude of our clients, both human and canine, are incredibly rewarding. Every hike, every wagging tail, and every satisfied client is a testament to your positive impact as a member of our team.
