WalkerScout
WalkerScout is a recruitment process outsourcing provider. We support small businesses operating within the pet care industry. Our service provides a scalable, fast and fair workflow for candidates, improving the chances for stronger candidates to accept job offers, and we save our clients a significant amount of time per hire.
SERVICES
WalkerScout provides recruiting and human resources (HR) services for pet businesses. This includes, but is not limited to:
Strategic recruiting guidance for pet care businesses
In-depth virtual candidate interviews
Expert US-based recruiter insights
Professional reference checks and work history verification
Exit interviews to support stronger teams
-
New clients begin with a pay-per-interview model, so you can choose how many candidates to interview and control your investment as you go—without committing to a larger recruiting package upfront. You pay only for scheduled interviews, not for canceled interviews or invitations without a response. The pay-per-interview model is priced to make it easier to give more candidates a chance and will deliver a strong return on investment for all searches.
-
We conduct detailed virtual interviews, check professional references, verify work history, and conduct exit interviews. Candidates—including the strongest applicants—can easily schedule interviews at their convenience. This saves you time while giving you detailed insight to help make informed hiring decisions. You stay in control of whom you hire.
-
WalkerScout has recruited in the pet care industry since 2019 and has helped clients hire more than 1,000 staff members across the U.S. in dog daycare, dog walking, pet retail, dog training, and dog grooming. We bring industry-specific experience and can offer guidance to help improve both the number of candidates you attract and, especially, their quality.
Happy clients, happy life.

“We're so grateful to Joe for his recruiting services for us at SF Puppy Prep. Joe's knowledge of the dog business really shows and it is clear he can always find great candidates among the good. He is always professional and responsive. It is clear that Joe is dedicated to the long term success of our company, the dogs we serve, and the people he considers. With his passion for the care of dogs, Joe has been a huge help in finding and interviewing employees who care about their work when our time is limited. Thank you!”

“We hit the jackpot when we found Joe and WalkerScout! With a growing client base in New York City and Chicago, we were finding ourselves having to turn away new client inquiries with our team’s schedules already filled and with a limited number of qualified candidates to hire. The hiring process started to consume our day to day and became a daunting task. We had a difficult time finding qualified people that fit our criteria but Joe took all of our worries away!"

“I simply can't say enough good things about Walker Scout and how happy I am to have started working with Joe and his staff. They have taken the most time consuming, most challenging, and most headache producing part of running my business and turned what used to be a weakness into one of our biggest strengths. Not only have they saved me an enormous amount of time, but with their help, I have been able to hire excellent employees! They have hit it out of the park every time."
