    PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY BEFORE APPLYING - Entering a Drama Free Zone: We are a unique, privately-owned and operated dog care facility looking for hard-working dog lovers interested in long term employment and that are eager to learn about dog care from a genuinely dog-focused daycare and boarding facility. We are a growing company and have a tight-knit group of caring individuals who work hard to create a successful and positive environment for our canine guests. The position is more than just cuddling puppies. Our facility is set up very differently from most other facilities. We are an activity-based facility, with LOTS of space for our guests to play, socialize, and explore! Our team works both independently and as a team, to find the best program for each dog. Each day you will be spending time developing relationships with the dogs, maintaining a clean & safe environment, working with your fellow team members - sharing information, listening, learning, being willing to jump in. We have a long term, positive, and fun-loving staff that treat each other like family. Our clients are the best clients around and we have great reviews to show for it. We depend on our team members to provide exceptional care to both our human and canine clients in order to foster an atmosphere of respect, integrity, and teamwork! We pride ourselves on cross training our team members for long-term employment, lots of variety and so team members can work together to give exceptional care to our guests. Our facility is staffed 365 days a year and is exceptionally busy on weekends and when schools are on holiday recess. Experience is desired, however a genuine love for animals is even more important to us. We are looking for team members that: * Are able to handle dogs of all sizes without being afraid of them and without allowing them to control them. * Are in good physical condition, able to squat, stoop, bend, lift, and do a lot of walking. * Are willing to maintain the highest standards in cleanliness. It can be a very physical job and everybody cleans - mopping, scrubbing, as well as cleaning pee, poop and drool. * Are able to be on their feet the entire shift, lift 50 pounds and are able to move quickly. * Are able to work outside in all weather, as needed. Additionally, we want to know that, You Are Dependable - being a few minutes early for work is normal for you. You look at what the great day ahead spent with dogs will bring. Our team knows they can count on you to do whatever it is you are assigned with excellence. You Love the Details - as a team, we want to make sure each guests' needs are met. From medications to meals, play times to pampering, it is all in the details to make our guest's stay the best it can be. You Are a Team Player - you want the best for the dogs that are staying with us and work as a team member to get that accomplished. You add to the conversation and brainstorm with fellow team members on ways to make the experience more enriching. We are offering PT positions (which can lead to more hours). We have two daily shifts (approximately 7am - 1pm; 2:00pm - 8:00pm) and have regular work schedules. You must be available to work weekend shifts and during all major holidays/busy seasons. There are great opportunities for advancement, if you excel in your work and once you complete training. Our initial pay range is $10-$11/hour and depends on experience & completing our training program. We do not hire to just fill a spot. Rather, we take our time looking for the right people. If you know without a doubt that you are a fit, let's talk!
