While the role claims to be a 45-hour a week commitment, it also stresses applicants should be "flexible" with their time.

The successful candidate will also be awarded a company pension, life insurance and private medical and dental insurance.

The role may seem like a dream position, but candidates were quick to point out some of the glaring omissions to the job description in the comments on Legal Cheek.

"'I earn more than this just simply dog walking and my hours are usually 9/10-4, I control my own working schedule and don't have to fit in around somebody's life," pointed out one user.

Others pointed out a breakdown of the job's promised salary only equates to roughly 115 pounds ($210 AUD) per day.

"This salary is not enough," another user said.

"What's the point in getting a dog if you are too busy to walk it. Foolishness," said another.

Still, one person believed it was ideal.

"That job is right up my street. How do I apply?"
