Job Description
Charming Paws is a locally owned small business looking for reliable, caring and hardworking Canine Caregivers to join our West Bend team. Professional dog experience is wonderful, but it is not required. We can teach you dog behavior, body language, safe handling, group management, enrichment and the skills needed to confidently care for the dogs entrusted to us. What's harder to teach? Kindness, reliability, accountability and being the kind of coworker others can count on. That's what we're really looking for.
