Island Pawplex is looking for part time kennel technicians to join our team. Responsibilities include:

• Overseeing a playgroup of dogs and managing their behavior and playtime as your primary focus.
• Learning animal behavior in order to provide a safe environment, including studying canine body language and learning how to make dogs comfortable in a kennel and playgroup environment. 
• Managing the cleanliness of our kennels and play areas and maintaining the highest possible cleaning standards. Cleaning toys, washing dishes, mopping floors, vacuuming hair, and taking care of unpleasant doggy messes are critical aspects of the job!
• Use common sense to solve problems as it relates to dogs in our care.
• Work with initiative to take on an array of tasks in our center.
• Communicating effectively with other team members—working at a doggie daycare is fun, but only if everyone is on the same page!
• Physical activity—must be able to safely lift 50 lbs, work on your feet for multiple hours at a time, and get around in all types of weather. This is a physically demanding role.
• Must have basic customer service skills and be able to follow our safety protocols.
• Must love dogs. We have a lot of them!

If you’re the right candidate, please let us know as we want you on our team! Pay starts at $13/hr, $14 with prior petcare experience. Benefits of joining us at Island Pawplex include paid time off, health benefits, and discounted daycare and boarding for your own dog.
