Frequently Asked Questions
We know you probably have some questions about the job, and weâve got the answers!
Same work as our regular Poofessionals: drive to client homes on a pre-planned route, walk each yard, scoop the dog waste, double-bag it, and move to the next stop. The difference is you are on-call rather than on a fixed schedule.
Absolutely! Weâll provide all the training you need to feel confident and ready to scoop. From using the tools to managing your route, weâve got you covered.
There is no set schedule. You are on our on-call list. When we need coverage (someone out, busy week, growth stretch), we text you the available shifts. You accept what works and pass on what does not. Historically most Flex needs land on Monday or Thursday mornings, but it varies.
$18/hour for shifts you work. Add 76 cents per mile if you use your own vehicle, plus the optional $10/week utility perk on weeks you work and take the waste home. A typical 5-hour shift with your own vehicle nets around $95 to $110.
No experience? No problem! Weâll teach you everything you need to know. As long as youâre dependable, enjoy working outdoors, and like dogs, youâre good to go.
Yes! This job gives you the independence to manage your own route and schedule. Youâll be out and about, scooping at customer locationsâbut youâll have support from our team whenever you need it.
Youâll be outside rain or shine, so we hope youâre ready to embrace all kinds of weather! (We recommend good rain gear for those soggy days.)
We totally get itâlife happens! Just let us know in advance, and weâll work with you to reschedule or cover your route.
The best part? Youâre working independently, outdoors, and doing something that really helps people. Plus, the occasional cute dog sighting makes it all the more fun!
Depends on the season, the regular team's availability, and how many Flex Poofessionals we have active at the time. Some weeks you might get a shift or two, some weeks none. If you want consistent hours, our regular Poofessional role is a better fit.
Usually 1 to 3 days. Sometimes more, occasionally same-day for last-minute coverage.
Not at all. Say yes when it works, no when it does not. The only thing we ask is that if you accept, you follow through. Flaking on a shift after we have counted on you is what will get you off the list.
