  • Wants flexible, part-time work
  • Takes pride in doing things properly
  • And understands that caring for pets is real responsibility—not just “playing with animals”

We’re currently hiring for our Waldo / Brookside / South Kansas City / Prairie Village service area.

Why Work With Loving Arms Pet Services?

We aim to make this a role people feel good about—not just another gig.

What you can expect:

  • Flexible scheduling within your availability
  • Clear communication and support. We value team members who communicate thoughtfully, write clear visit notes, ask questions when unsure, and proactively share updates.
  • Paid training and ongoing guidance
  • Meaningful work helping pets feel safe and cared for in their own homes
  • A professional environment built on trust, reliability, and respect

This is a part-time position and works best as supplemental income, not primary income. Hours are not guaranteed and start very part-time, with opportunities for additional visits during weekends, busy seasons and holidays.
