Job Description

Our specialists truly love our furry guests of all shapes and sizes, and are able to handle each with control, calm discipline, and positivity. As a specialist, you will be moving and grooving all day long, squatting, stooping, bending, lifting, cleaning, scooping, vacuuming, etc. The time flies as you put your heart and mind into keeping our place and our pet friends in tip-top shape! You will bathe, feed, walk, and monitor our guests closely to ensure they are eating well and are well-adjusted while in our care. You will be gentle and respectful toward our fur friends while instilling good canine manners for all guests. We are open 365 days a year, so you will rotate spending some weekends and holiday time caring for our four-legged friends. You will have times of multi-tasking, answering pet parent calls, and using your computer skills, as we track our fur friends progress, check customer records, and move pets in and out of our system. Your passion for pet care and interacting with our clients will be truly enjoyable to you, if you are the right candidate for Salty Dog Pet Resort! We provide on-the-job training in dog body language and behavior, and certifications as Pet Care Specialists, Pet First Aid and CPR. We offer great pay and benefits.
