Your dog or cat could get paid to play: PetSmart is recruiting toy testers

"Get a job!" Some of us may have felt like saying this to our dog or cat as they nap while we work … well now there's a chance for the pets to get paid.

PetSmart has a new position available as Chief Toy Tester, and one qualified dog and one qualified cat can each earn $10,000 for a year's work.  And job the duties --  to play with new toys and sample treats.

So If your dog or cat is the cutest, personality-plus, just best-pet-ever (because we all think so) and their human has one year to devote to a pet's job -- making appearances and heavy with social media posts --  this may be the purrrrfect fit.

PetSmart's Ideal candidate qualifications:

  • A nose for sniffing out the tastiest treats
  • Paws for toy product play and a perfect tail wag (or wave) when appearing as a VIP at PetSmart events
  • The ability to direct their pet parents to capture the most compelling video footage and content for social media as they  analyze their product findings and demonstrate their use
  • Human pet parents who can commit to a one-year partnership contract on their pet's behalf
