Customer Service - Checking dogs in and out and communicating with the dog parents how their dog did for the day. You must be able to make small talk and be friendly.
Excellent communication skills are required in order to keep the team informed on any issues that arise with the dogs. You must be a team player. We have a great team that works well together.
You must be: Able to stand for your entire shift, able to lift 30lbs,a quick learner, a dog and cat lover, comfortable around lots of dogs and not mind being jumped on, not afraid to get dirty and able to use a computer and phone apps.
You must be reliable! If you tend to call out from work a lot this is not the job for you. It puts the dogs safety in jeopardy.
You must have your own reliable transportation.
