What are the responsibilities and job description for the Overnight Pet Concierge position at Pets a Go Go LLC?
Are you one of us...?
Do you *LOVE* dogs?
Hate desks?
Don't mind weather of any kind?
Are you a reliable person?
Do you have a positive attitude?
Are you blessed with lots of common sense and problem solving skills?
Do you look cute with a poop bag in your hand?
Do you LOOOOOVE dogs? (Wait, sorry -- asked that one already!)
If so, you may be in luck! Pets a Go Go is a well established and highly reputable pet care company located in Briarcliff Manor and we are currently a few new awesome team members.
To apply for this position, you must meet the following criteria:
* You must be 18 years or older (insurance requirement)
* You must be able to pass a criminal background check; and dependent on role, a urine drug test
* You must be punctual, reliable and willing to work in all weather conditions including heat, humidity, rain and snow.
* You MUST be available at least 20 hours per week.
Overnight typically work 9:30pm-7:30am several nights per week with occasional requests for 7pm-7am. This is a great position for students or others who have another job and are looking to make additional income. There is significant room for growth; however, more senior roles are typically full-time (please ask!)
* You must be a self-starter, equipped with an abundance of common sense, and able to work on your own without micro-management after a period of in-house training.
* You must have a smart phone, access to the internet and be able to send and receive texts.
* You must LOVE dogs and not have any breed aversions/fears!!!! You must be able to act quickly to assess and/or interrupt on the rare occasional that the pups in our care are not getting along.
Preference will be given to those who have professional experience. Being the main caretaker for a dog throughout their life during your adult years is important as well.
Previous experience working with bully breeds or a fearful/dog reactive dog is a HUGE plus.
We operate on a hands-on basis meaning you will be working with both large and small dogs in appropriately sized groups. Please be aware that while overnight staff may rest once the pups are 'down' for the night but there is a checklist of cleaning and organization duties that must be accomplished each evening and you must be able to intervene or help intervene in the overnight hours if needed.
We're a fun bunch to work with and our team members love their positions within our company! We do NOT allow members of our team to have their personal dogs attend daycare or stay over while they are on duty; however, in-house services may be provided at an employee discount. Please remember above all, for us pet care is a business so we expect our team to be professional and committed to their jobs at all times.
To apply for this position, please email or reply with the following: your name, what town you reside in along with your previous experience (professional and volunteer) with dogs. We'd also like to know why you think you'd be a good fit for our team and anything else you think is pertinent for us to know about you in a cover letter! Resumes and photos are always appreciated.
To repeat, this is a starting position. We prefer to promote from within so upward mobility can and frequently does occur depending on someone's initiative and reliability.

Looking forward to meeting our newest team members soon!
