Dog Daycare Team Member – Positive, Hands-On Problem Solver
We’re looking for a dependable, positive, and solutions-oriented team member to support our dog daycare. This is a **physically active, hands-on role** that requires comfort with dogs, cleaning, and busy environments — along with professionalism and good judgment.
What You’ll Be Doing
This role involves real work and shared responsibility for the space and the dogs in it:
* Washing dishes and maintaining clean dog areas
* Picking up poop and cleaning up after dogs throughout the day
* Being on your feet for most of your shift
* Spending time outdoors with dogs in a variety of weather conditions
* Monitoring group play
* Staying focused and proactive while managing groups of 15–20 dogs
* Supporting daily routines and following established procedures
The Environment
* This is an active, high-energy setting where things can get messy
* We value **problem-solvers with positive attitudes** who notice issues and take action
* Team members are expected to maintain professionalism
*Wear sweatpants to work
Who You Are
You’re likely a great fit if you:
* Approach challenges with a solutions-first mindset
* Can stay upbeat and effective in busy, ever-changing environments
* Don’t mind physical work, cleaning, or getting dirty
* Are comfortable being outdoors in heat, cold, or rain
* Follow routines while staying flexible when things change
* Communicate professionally with clients and coworkers
* Understand that excellent dog care includes cleanliness and structure
What This Is *Not*
* Not a “cuddle with dogs” role
* Not a low-activity or quiet job
* Not a position for someone who avoids responsibility or cleaning
