Dog Boarding & Daycare Kennel Assistant

We are looking to add more staff to our team in the next few weeks. You should be someone who prefers to work outside, likes long walks with 10-15 friends (dogs of all sizes and ages), would rather mow grass than sit at a desk, thinks dirt is cool, isn't afraid of a little poo or dog hair or drool, prefers dogs over most people, is strong enough to move heavy stuff, is considerate of others, has great work ethics and likes to work as a team. We are a dog boarding/daycare facility on 5 fully fenced acres. We walk dogs (off leash) in groups of 5-20, we do a little training and work on manners, we play a lot. This job can be both physically and mentally demanding, there are a lot of moving parts that need to be constantly tended too. To succeed you must have strength in both areas and be able to work independently without a constant need of direction. Our schedules are a bit crazy and adjust to the number and energy of the dogs. Our days start at 6am and ends around 9pm, shifts are typically 5-9 hours (some 10). We take care of the needs of the dogs as a team so the schedule can change weekly. That said we can work around some things and believe that work/life balance is important. All staff rotate thru the shifts and are expected to train on all please only apply if you have open availability, are able to work a min of 18 hours per week, work weekends and evenings. Please answer all of the questions, with full sentences, more is better. Please try Not to say its because you love dogs. :) •Also let us know if you are looking for full/part time and any conflicts/schedule needs we should know about and when you would be able to start if hired. Please do not call the kennel to check on your application , we do our best to work thru them as quickly as possible and will let you know thru indeed or by phone if you have been chosen for interview. We automatically reject those applications that have not been answered fully. We are not on the bus line so you will need reliable transportation (it's not bike friendly either). We also are unable to hire those under 18.
