Daycare jobs in Wichita, and the walking work behind them

The jobs come to you rather than the other way round. List the Wichita areas you can cover, and owners inside them send requests you are free to turn down.

This is self-employed work rather than an employer role. Owners in Wichita send booking requests and you accept the ones you want, at the rate you publish for each service. Petme is the platform, not the employer.

No. Wichita does not allow the day-care side of dog care to happen at the sitter's own home, under 7-8. Take the work to the dog instead: walks, drop-in visits and house sitting are all lawful in Wichita.

Every confirmed Petme booking, including walks, drop-in visits and house sitting, includes $22,000 in Protection Plan for the pet in your care, at no cost to you or the owner.

Yes. Petme recruits sitters across Wichita year-round, from Old Town to Riverside, and owners send booking requests directly to sitters in their area. There is no vacancy list to wait on: you create a profile, set the areas you cover, and accept the requests you want.

No. Petme sitters must be 18 or over, so under-18s cannot take bookings yet. From 18 you can start without formal experience: you need a smartphone with the Petme app, to pass ID verification, and a profile that describes the pets you have cared for, including your own.

It fits part-time schedules well because you are self-employed: no assigned shifts, no minimum hours, and you set your own rate. Many Wichita sitters take a few bookings a week around a job or studies and scale up or down as their calendar allows.

Dog walking runs $14 to $30 per 30 to 60 minute walk and drop-in visits run $15 to $34 per 20 to 30 minute visit. House sitting pays $32 to $70 per night. You set your own rate for each service, and with sitter cashback you keep up to 90% of every booking.

Because of where the work happens. A walk or a drop-in takes place on the street or inside the owner's home, so it is not a business run out of your residence. 7-8 is aimed at the home occupation, not at the service.

Yes. You review each request, arrange a meet first if you want, and accept or decline it. There are no assigned shifts and no minimum hours, and you set your rate and your availability per service across Wichita.

Demand peaks over the summer travel season and the winter holidays, with a bump tied to Wichita State University's calendar, and boarding plus drop-in visits leading as owners leave town. That pattern shapes dog walking bookings in Wichita across the year. Wichita has hot, humid summers and cold winters, with strong wind and the occasional severe storm typical of the southern plains.

No formal qualification is required. You need to be 18 or over, have a smartphone with the Petme app, and pass ID verification. Experience helps you win your first dog walking bookings in Wichita, so it is worth describing the pets you have looked after, including your own, on your profile.

Owners in Wichita mostly keep Labrador Retriever, German Shepherd, Goldendoodle, Australian Shepherd, Chihuahua. Saying on your profile which of those you have walked helps owners choose you, because most are looking for someone already comfortable with their dog's size and energy.
