Chocolate taster, getting paid to travel the world, puppy baby sitter … these are jobs that you thought only existed in your dreams.
But for one day in September, one of these dream jobs will become a reality for one very lucky puppy enthusiast, and they’ll pocket a rather ample pay check for the task.
Sydney Dogs and Cats Home is hiring someone for $500 to play with puppies and kitties all day.
The shelter has teamed up with Airtasker (a task outsourcing website), to promote the fantasy role.
The advert reads:
“Are you that friend that everyone tags in cute dog memes on Facebook?
“Would you rather go on a doggy date than a Tinder date?
“Do you follow more dogs on Instagram than family members?
“If you said yes to all the above, then you could be perfect for this task.”
At the Sydney Dogs and Cats Home we have just had a litter of 5 adorable 10 week old Kelpie X puppies arrive at our shelter after they were found abandoned in a bin. With these little guys and a huge influx of other new animals, we’re in urgent need for some extra help!
We’re looking for the ultimate animal lover to look after our furry friends for one day, helping out at the home in Carlton, Sydney. And, Airtasker are offering you $500 for the privilege!
Your responsibilities will include:
• Showering the pups and doggos with love and affection
• Taking them for a hard-hitting work-out (a.k.a. a stroll in the park)
• Getting our pups, doggos and cats runway-ready (a.k.a. taking photos to help them get adopted into loving families)
Our furry friends come from all over Sydney, and many haven’t had the easiest start in life, so we need someone whose love for dogs knows no bounds. The kind of love where licking isn’t optional, it’s mandatory.
Being Sydney’s only charity pound that never places a time limit on any pet awaiting adoption, our aim is to ensure every animals stay is as brief and enjoyable as possible.
Let us know why you’re the best person to show these pups a great time, while they patiently wait for adoption.
P.S. Some of our dogs are working on their vlogging careers and will want to film their day out with you, so you’ll need to be cool with being the leading lady or man in their content!
The exciting task is to be completed on the 25th of September and applications must be in by the 17th of September.
We would say tell your friends about this one, but obviously you’re going to want to keep it for yourself.
Over 700 people have already replied to the ad so you’d better be quick.
You can apply on the Airtasker website.
