Job Description

About The Dog Academy We are not your average dog facility, and this is not your average front desk job. The Dog Academy is Houston's most culture-driven pet care campus. 2 acres, 32 private boarding rooms, a bone-shaped pool, multiple fields, and a team that genuinely believes that how we treat each other directly determines how well we care for the dogs. That belief has made us the best-reviewed pet care facility in the city. We are currently rebuilding and relaunching as "The Dog Academy 2.0", and we are looking for people to grow with us from the ground up.
