Pet gift company paying dog 'chief fluff officer' up to $10K: Here's how to apply
Yappy.com is hiring a dog to be a social media-savvy chief fluff officer who will have to star in TikTok and Instagram posts
An online pet gift company is looking for a spokesdog and the role comes with a 10-month contract that pays up to $1,000 per month.
Yappy.com, a personalized gift and card website for "dog and cat lovers," is hiring a "chief fluff officer" who will serve as a canine influencer, according to the company’s open job application.
The company is headquartered in Manchester, England, but the role is remote and can mostly be done at home, so long as the hired pet and pet owner have the ability to film content for social media.

The hired chief fluff officer will have to test personalized gifts from Yappy on camera and complete assigned tasks.
Other job requirements for the hired pup include being camera-ready, groomed and easy to pose and work with.

Pet owners will have to assist the chief fluff officer by being social media savvy, creative and comfortable jumping on the latest content creation trends, such as recording reels and taking photos.
Yappy will hire a chief fluff officer that has an "established social media presence and at least two active social accounts," but fret not, the company’s application states that experienced and amateur dog influencers are welcome to apply.

Established Instagram and TikTok accounts are required for the role and Yappy requests applicants submit their dog’s handle in chief fluff officer applications.
Accepting the role of a chief fluff officer will require pet owners to grant Yappy "full usage rights" to images and video files that are created for the company, the application says.
Eligible dogs must have a pet owner who’s at least 18 years old.
