HAPPY TAILS PET SITTING SERVICES, LLC. is a leading Pet Sitting and Dog Walking company in El Paso. We travel to clients’ homes and provide personalized care to their pets. At the same time, we keep an eye on the clients’ homes by giving them a lived-in look and taking care of them with the same attention the owner would.

If you love dogs and cats & spending time outdoors, then this is the perfect job for you. Working at Happy Tails is a great fit for people who love spending time with animals, have time and flexibility, are active and happy, and want a rewarding day-to-day experience at work.

We are looking for reliable, trustworthy, and knowledgeable Pet Care Professionals who are committed to providing the best quality pet care and attentive customer service. Depending on the service, you will spend from 15 minutes to 45 minutes at the client’s home with their pet(s). Some basic services include taking dogs for walks around the neighborhood, letting them out to play in the backyard, scooping litter boxes, occasionally providing medications, and a lot of TLC & belly rubs.

ONLY Applicants who live in  the following zip codes will be considered at the moment :

79911, 79912, 79922, 79932, 88008

We have received several inquiries asking “why do you need to live in these zip codes ?” : This is the area of town where we need help at this moment. Some customers require +4 visits per day while they are away. If you live 10 miles away, that will be 80 miles, and you will have to drive back and forth to service JUST that customer. The regular pet visit is 25-30 mins long, the driving could add up another 30 mins – 40 mins, depending on the time of day. Gas, vehicle expenses, and the time you spend driving are not reimbursed or compensated by the Company. We had done the math, and the job is not profitable if you do not live in these zip codes.
