Join the Pack at Tailspin Pet Resort!

Please note:

Weekend availability is required, as weekends are among our busiest times caring for our guests. We're gearing up for our busy summer season and are looking for a motivated, dependable team member to join our Pack! This is a hybrid role, meaning you'll spend your days caring for dogs and/or interacting with their humans and our reservation software. We're looking for people who are comfortable providing excellent customer service while also safely handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. What to Expect 15-20 hours per week Fast-paced, active environment Indoor & outdoor work in all weather conditions Lots of cleaning, movement, and dog interaction A team environment where no two days are the same This position works both indoors and outdoors in all weather conditions — including the heat of summer. We let the dogs call the shots, so if they're out having fun playing in the rain or soaking up the sunshine, we're right there with them. Candidates should also be comfortable with the less glamorous side of pet care. That includes picking up poop, cleaning kennels and accidents, wiping messy butts, handling the occasional vomit cleanup, and yes even getting eye boogers. We proudly accept dogs of all sizes, breeds, energy levels, and temperaments, so applicants must be confident handling a wide variety of dogs safely and compassionately.
