Billionaire family hiring a full-time dog nanny for £100k per year

The successful candidate for a new job ad will be expected to ‘drop everything’ and ‘dedicate their life’ to looking after two precious pooches belonging to a billionaire family.

The wealthy family are seeking a full-time dog carer and are offering a whopping £100,000 a year salary. 

Unsurprisingly, applications for the role have been pouring in for what has been described as ‘an unheard of’ salary for such a role within the industry.

The family requires the successful candidate to be an ‘experienced and highly exceptional worker’ who will provide ‘unparalleled care and attention’ to their two large dogs.

But, and there’s always a ‘but’, despite the unusually generous salary, the dog nanny will be expected to ‘drop everything’ and ‘put their private lives on the back-burner’.

The full-time dog nanny would have to to live in Knightsbridge, central London, with the family. They would also need to jet-off with the family of American billionaires whenever and wherever they may go.

According to the unusual job advert, the dog nanny’s responsibilities also include duties such as:

• Coordinating and overseeing all veterinary appointments, vaccinations, and health check-ups. 

• Administering medications as prescribed and keeping detailed records of their health and medical history.
• Developing a personalised exercise regime for each dog.
• Organising a social life for the dogs, such as doggy playdates.
• Keeping a clean and harmonious environment for the dogs to live in.
• And implementing stringent security measures to safeguard the dogs.

George Ralph-Dunn of Fairfax and Kensington recruitment agency, who are recruiting the dog nanny on their client’s behalf, says the giant £100,000 salary is ‘unheard of’ in the industry.

He said the agency have received more than 300 applications for the role so far and they plan to shortlist the hopefuls before running strict background checks and running trials with the family.

About who the family are looking for, George said: “The perfect person would be not too big of a character and be good at blending into the background then popping out when required.

“The clients are billionaires looking for best-in-class service so when it comes to their dogs they’re happy to pay. This is the first role we’ve offered of its kind.

“The salary connected to it is pretty unheard of. Even as a vet you’d be struggling to earn that amount of money. When money is no object people want the best and you attract the best with the best salary.

“There’s six weeks off per year but when you’re dealing with these sorts of clients, if they want to go to Monaco tomorrow you’d be on a private jet flying with those dogs.

“You really need to drop everything and be there when they call and leave your private life on the back-burner.”

George has been unable to share any details about the family but says the firm are hoping to complete the recruitment process by the end of the month.
