⭐ Why This Role Might Be a Great Fit ⭐

If you prefer calm, structured, small-group daycare over chaotic 30–40 dog rooms, you’ll thrive here. Our playgroups are intentionally kept small (10–15 dogs) so behavior is safe, predictable, and manageable.

At Four-Legged Fun Zone:

  • Playgroups are matched by size, energy, and temperament
  • Rooms stay calm—our dogs play, not bark
  • Dogs enjoy two one-hour nap breaks each day to reset
  • Your schedule is always Monday–Friday, 7 AM–3:30 PM
  • We do not offer boarding, so there are no late nights or weekends
  • We focus on behavior, safety, structure, and relationship-based care, not crowd control

⭐ What You’ll Do ⭐

Dog Management

  • Run small off-leash playgroups (10–15 dogs)
  • Redirect dogs quickly to maintain safe, appropriate play
  • Introduce new dogs and monitor adjustment
  • Watch for early signs of overstimulation and intervene early
  • Move dogs safely between playrooms and nap areas
  • Ensure access to fresh water and monitor individual needs

Cleaning Responsibilities

  • Clean continuously: mop accidents, pick up waste, disinfect surfaces
  • Follow cleaning checklists for playrooms and common areas
  • Manage laundry (blankets, bedding, towels)
  • Wash and sanitize bowls, Kongs, and enrichment items
  • Maintain a high standard of cleanliness throughout the shift

Client & Office Support

  • Take clear photos and short videos during the day
  • Create brief, personalized report cards for clients
  • Assist with check-in/check-out and process payments
  • Answer phones and help with scheduling
  • Update dog records, behavior notes, and incident logs

⭐ Schedule & Pay ⭐

  • Monday–Friday, 7 AM–3:30 PM
  • No nights, weekends, or holidays
  • $20–$24/hr DOE group-size bonuses
  • Stable, predictable schedule
  • Employee discounts on daycare & grooming

⭐ How To Apply ⭐

Please complete our official job application. We look forward to speaking with applicants who meet the requirements
