Dongdaemun-gu, Training Pet Sitters for Companion Dogs View original image

Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Lee Pil-hyung) is recruiting participants for the ‘Pet Sitter Training Course’ from October 5 to November 3.


A ‘pet sitter’ is a professional who takes care of pets on behalf of their owners during times when they are away due to travel, business trips, or other reasons. In response to the growing demand for jobs related to pets in the era of 15 million pet owners, the district has been operating the ‘Pet Sitter Training’ program since last year.


This training course is open to any Dongdaemun-gu resident aged 19 or older who is willing to work as a pet sitter. The tuition is completely free, and to enhance the quality of education, the course will be conducted in small groups (2 classes, each with about 10 people) focusing on practical training.


Participants will receive a total of 14 hours of training from November 17 to 22. The curriculum includes theoretical lessons such as ▲the role of a pet sitter ▲causes and solutions for behavioral problems, as well as practical sessions like ▲pet hygiene and grooming ▲dog walking and behavior training, covering essential skills for pet sitter activities. After completing the course, participants will be registered on a pet care matching platform to facilitate employment as pet sitters.


Residents interested in participating can apply online via Google Forms or QR code by November 3. After document screening and interviews, about 20 final participants will be selected, and the results will be individually notified on November 13. For more details, please visit the Dongdaemun-gu website or contact the training company Bau Raum Co., Ltd. or the Dongdaemun-gu Job and Youth Division.



Lee Pil-hyung, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, stated, “As the pet-related industry is rapidly growing and there is abundant demand in the labor market, we have prepared a training course that leads to employment for residents wishing to work in this field. We will continue to discover new job creation projects in response to changing times for residents seeking employment.”
