Pet-Royale Home Boarding & Pet Sitting - making Kennels and Catteries a thing of the past!

Willow Long Haired Weimaraner Dog - loves chasing wild rabbits and pheasants in the fields.

Do you enjoy walking dogs in the snow? How about icy rain and wind? It's a wonderful life on sunny days!

Here is Willow, a long haired Weimaraner looking for rabbits and other animals to chase!

Can you handle more than one dog at a time? You must be able to keep any dog you have care of under close control!

Here are Nico and Purdey, two Weimeraners enjoying themselves on a walk!

Toby a Retriever Labrador Cross loves playing with other dogs and watching the ducks on the pond!

Are you confident in your ability to control a dog who is off the lead?

Here is Toby who having a rare sitting down moment whilst he watches the ducks, but if he sees a squirrel or a rabbit, he'll be off like a shot!

WHO CAN APPLY?

Pet-Royale welcomes job applications from mature, responsible pet lovers of all kinds. The work is ideally suited to home workers, the active retired, or families.

DO I NEED QUALIFICATIONS?

We welcome people with animal care certificates as this shows your commitment to animal welfare. However, you may have, or have had, a pet of your own and in this case, personal characteristics are more important than formal qualifications to work with animals. You must have a kind and loving nature with 100% commitment and reliability to keep the confidence of our clients. However, if you want to progress your knowledge into a career then you could have the best of both worlds!

DO I NEED MY OWN CAR?

It's great if you have your own transport as that will give you real flexibility and allow you to undertake different jobs.

CAN I WORK PART TIME?

We accept applications from anyone wanting to work part time for dog walking and pet visiting only. Part time working is not suitable for home boarding as any dog in your care must not be left for longer than 3-4 hours at a time.

You could combine home boarding and dog walking though as your home boarded dog would love to go out with you on your walks.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO KNOW ?

You will visit client homes and our customers must have every confidence in you and the security of their home therefore you must be willing to undertake a Basic Disclosure Scotland prior to employment. You will also be required to follow basic Health and Safety measures including having a tetanus jab (just in case!)

ARE THERE ANY PARTICULAR REQUIREMENTS FOR HOME BOARDING?

Depending on the area in which you live, you may need a Licence issued by the Council in respect of the Animal Boarding Establishments Act 1963. If this is the case your home will need to be inspected by a Veterinary Surgeon, the Environmental Services Department of the Council,and the Local Dog Warden, prior to you being allowed to home board any dogs. Special conditions may be laid down about their living conditions and the amount of dogs you are able to keep in your home. The cost of any such Licence requirement will be paid for by Pet-Royale although we are not able to contribute to any structural changes to your property to enable you to fulfil the Council requirements

Certain conditions must be met e.g. you must own your own home, have a smoke alarm fitted and working, have a tiled or laminate kitchen, have direct access to your garden, securely fenced to 1.5m to prevent escape etc. This list is not exhaustive and is subject to change in relation to the prevailing legislation and Health & Safety requirements.

It is preferable if you do not have any small children, or other dogs of your own, but every situation is an individual one and both parties needs will be considered.

I ONLY HAVE A FEW HOURS A WEEK CAN I DO SOME DOG WALKING OR PET VISITING?

If you like the outdoors you could become a dog-walker but many working dog owners need their pet walking around lunchtime so you would need to be available around 11am to 2pm.

You could also consider visiting cats, exotic birds or reptiles and other small furry pets such as rabbits and chinchillas whilst their owners are on holiday - time is not so important here and so it is more flexible working.

DO YOU NEED ANY OTHER HELP?

We are a growing Company and there are always opportunities to do leaflet drops, come to the shows with us and give out our cards, be a pet courier or deliver pet food to our customers.

So whatever hours you may be able to commit to and whatever you would like to do please ring for an informal chat.

SHOULD I BRING MY REFERENCES?

Yes, references are great as this shows us what you can do!

WHEN COULD I START?

As soon as practicable, depending on what work is available for you at the time but please bear in mind that it could take longer if you need to be police checked and live in an area where the Local Authority requires you to have a licence prior to commencing home boarding duties.

NB

Please note that you will never be under any obligation to take any work offered to you and as such neither will the Company be under an obligation to provide it, as apart from our regular dog walking and pet services clients, much of the home boarding work can be seasonal and therefore very busy at holiday periods and quiet at others - but that could be the ideal time for you to take a well earned holiday perhaps?
