  • Ensure every dog is safe, healthy, and well cared for
  • Feed dogs and manage individual diets

  • Maintain a clean, sanitized environment throughout your shift
  • Notice and report changes in behavior or health
  • Learn and remember every dog in our care
  • Assist with customer questions in a friendly, knowledgeable way
  • Help with arrivals and departures
  • Double‑check dog inventory at check‑in and checkout
  • Bathe or blow out dogs who need cleanup before heading home

What We’re Looking For:

  • Reliable, positive team members
  • Comfort working around all breeds and sizes
  • Ability to lift, bend, clean, and stay on your feet
  • Love of dogs — and willingness to learn the right way to handle them
  • Weekend and holiday availability (we care for dogs 365 days a year)

Why You’ll Love Working Here:

  • A fun, supportive team
  • Tons of hands-on experience with dogs
