The Dog Stop® seeks a dog care manager. This person will be responsible for overseeing all canine activities. Must have a positive attitude and be confident and comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. These people must be a team-oriented and independent hard worker. This environment requires attention to detail so being meticulous is a benefit. In addition to dogscare, these Employees will take the lead on keeping/updating inventory. Candidates with strong backgrounds in employee leadership and dog care experience are preferred.

Responsibilities include:

• Canine Handlers/Kennel Attendants perform all daily interactions and meet all daily needs required by dogs in both the daycare and boarding settings. All activities and incidents should be communicated to management on a daily basis.
• Day Care Safety – The primary concern for all dogs in daycare is safety. Handlers are trained to look for warning signs that a dog might act out in an unfavorable

way that could be hazardous to other dogs or staff members. They are
responsible to correct any unwanted behavior in hopes of avoiding any
sort of physical conflict.

o Cleanliness – Keeping the daycare rooms clean is a constant battle. In order
to cut down the risk of sickness being spread within the daycare, Handlers
need to be frequently cleaning.
o Stimulation – Idle paws are the devil’s playground or something like that. In
order to head off potential incidents by refocusing the dogs’ attention and to
provide a higher level of care than our competition, Handlers are responsible
for providing mental stimulation to all daycare clients.

• Boarding

o Cleanliness – Kennel Attendants are responsible for cleaning the kennels and
all the accouterments of boarding on a daily basis.

o Feeding/Medicating – Kennel Attendants take charge of all daily feedings.
They are responsible for portioning out the correct amounts (and the correct
foods) for each dog at the proper time intervals. Any medications should also
be properly administered by Kennel Attendants and signed off on the
Medication Log.
o Set up borders – Once kennels are clean, all in-house boarding dogs should
be reset with fresh bowls, bedding, water, and their correct amount of food for
their next meal, as well as any personal belongings the owners requested, be left in the kennel (as long as those items are not potential choking hazards).
