Dog Daycare & Front Desk Attendant
We are looking for a reliable, hardworking, and dog-savvy team member to join our busy dog daycare and boarding facility. This is a hands-on, fast-paced position that combines playgroup supervision and front desk responsibilities.
What You’ll Do:
Playgroup Supervision
- Safely supervise group play with up to 25 dogs at a time
- Monitor dog behavior and maintain a calm, structured environment
- Handle dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments
- Clean up after dogs, including urine and feces, throughout the day
- Maintain cleanliness of play areas (this is a physically demanding and sometimes messy role)
Front Desk & Guest Services
- Greet clients and assist with check-in and check-out
- Safely handle dogs on leash and transition them into playgroups
- Accurately inventory and log each dog’s belongings upon check-in
- Set dogs up for a successful stay by following care instructions
- Take photos/videos of dogs to share updates with pet parents
What We’re Looking For:
- Comfortable working with dogs of all sizes and energy levels
- Ability to stay calm, alert, and in control in a group dog setting
- Strong work ethic — this job is active, labor-intensive, and requires cleaning
- Reliable, punctual, and team-oriented
- Good communication and basic computer/organizational skills
Additional Expectations:
This role requires flexibility and a team-first mindset. Duties listed above are not all-inclusive, and team members may be asked to assist with other tasks as needed to support daily operations.
Perks:
- Work with dogs every day
- Supportive team environment
- Opportunity to learn dog behavior and handling skills
This is not a desk job — you’ll be on your feet, moving, cleaning, and actively managing dogs throughout your shift. If you love dogs and don’t mind getting a little dirty, we’d love to meet you!
