-Work as part of a small team of 3-6 people to help monitor and keep in check the behavior of our dog pack. Anywhere from 60-80 dogs of all types.
-Entertain our canine companions by playing with them, working on training, and giving them belly rubs!
-Help with animal care such as feeding and administering medications.
-Clean up after dog messes.
-Helping maintain the property and keep things organized and functional.
RECIEVE COMMISSION in addition to wages for helping with dog baths, working weekends, among other tasks. EFFECTIVELY EARN $1-3 beyond base wage per hour!
GET TO WORK WITH YOUR OWN PUP EVERYDAY! If you have a dog and they are friendly and social, they can come to work with you!
For employees who stick around a while and show affinity for other dog related skills we have been known to help with education and supplies to further careers in grooming, training, and veterinary endeavors.
We also offer a 401k with a percentage match.
You must be able to....
-Lift 50 lbs (some of our dogs are big and strong)
-Stay on your feet for extended periods of time
-Be comfortable dealing with poop, vomit, and other dog messes

This is NOT just playing with puppies. We deal with a large pack and a lot of the day is spent correcting behavior and taking care of everyone. There is still plenty of time to play and pet everyone, but please know there is a lot more to this job than just that. It's almost like being a camp counselor or pre-k teacher for dogs. You'll be surrounded by pups all day and are in a position where you can truly make a difference in their lives by giving them attention and guidance. If you truly LOVE dogs then this is an AMAZING place to be. Just ask the multiple staff on our team who've been here for years and years. And for people who show initiative and work hard, we do reward the effort more and more the longer you are here and the more you bring to the table.
