About One Lucky Pup

One Lucky Pup Northlake is a structured, safety-focused dog daycare and boarding facility dedicated to providing exceptional care for every dog in our facility. Our team takes pride in maintaining a clean, organized, and professionally run environment where dogs are safely supervised and clients feel confident leaving their pets in our care.

We are seeking compassionate, dependable, and team-oriented individuals to join our growing team. Our Daycare Attendants / Kennel Technicians play a critical role in delivering exceptional care while upholding the highest standards of safety, cleanliness, and client service.

Daily responsibilities include feeding dogs according to individual instructions, capturing high-quality photos and updates for pet parents, supporting overall facility operations, and communicating professionally and positively with clients.

Above all, our team ensures every dog in our care is treated with the same attentiveness, safety, and compassion we would expect for our own pets.

This role requires strong attention to detail, sound judgment, physical stamina, and a genuine passion for animal welfare.
