Dog Boarding & Daycare Kennel Assistant

We are looking to add 1-2 more staff to our team in the next few weeks. You should be someone who prefers to work outside, likes long walks with 10-15 friends (dogs of all sizes and ages), would rather mow grass than sit at a desk, thinks dirt is cool, isn't afraid of a little poo or dog hair or drool, is strong enough to move heavy stuff, is considerate of others, has great work ethics and likes to work as a team. Our team is as important to us as the dogs in our care. We are looking for those who get along well with others, have an upbeat personality, care about supporting others in their work and is dependable with a flexible schedule.

Our schedules are a bit crazy and adjust to the number and energy of the dogs. Our days start at 6am and end at 9pm, shifts are typically 6-9 hours. You should be someone with a fairly open schedule that is able to work weekends, evening and holidays and is flexible week to week. Staff are scheduled according to the needs of the kennel.

We are a dog boarding/daycare facility on 5 fully fenced acres. We walk dogs (off leash) in groups of 5-20, we do a little training and work on manners, we play a lot. This job can be both physically and mentally demanding, there are a lot of moving parts that need to be constantly tended too. To succeed you must be able to multi task and shift gears as needed.

We take care of the needs of the dogs as a team so the schedule can change weekly. That said we can work around some things and believe that work/life balance is important. .
We are unable to hire anyone under the age of 18 and we are not on the bus line so you will need reliable transportation (it’s not bike friendly either).

To apply for this position please fill out all the questions and tell us a little about you, your work history and why you would like to work at a kennel. Also let us know if you are looking for full/part time, any conflicts/schedule needs we should know about and when you would be able to start if hired. Please DO NOT call the kennel, we will reach out to you.

Thanks
