Pawhootz-Pet-Resort

Pawhootz Pet Resort is different than any other job I have experienced before in the best way possible; I have been with the company for almost 2 years, and while there were some struggles along the way (and growing pains), the amount of personal and professional growth I have experienced is something that I wouldn't trade for anything in the world and was well worth the growing pains! The new management team is amazing; You can tell that they have a true passion for the work they are doing and it translates into the company, business,  as well as the employees! They truly care about every person that walks through the door, especially employees; It is their mission to help every employee grow in their own way! They have pushed me and aided in my personal and professional growth as  when I started the position I was only client care specialist and am the lead client care specialist! I wouldn't have been able to do it without their support, compassion, and assistance!
 The day is never a dull one, and there is always something to be done; From the major tasks of providing the best customer experience possible, setting and checking in and out appointments,outbound and inbound phone calls, and setting up new profiles, to the more minor ones like daily cleaning, a client care specialist is an essential part of the business and I couldn't be happier that I can help aid in creating that experience for everyone; As a client care specialist, the most rewarding part of the job is being able to make and create relationships with our clients and animals alike and seeing the satisfaction and upmost love that we all share; While due to duties, our time with the animals is more limited than other positions, we love and care for each one as if it were our own! Not to mention, if you'd like to spend more time with the animals, crosstraining is always available and is a great way to grow your knowledge and enhance your customer service experience! 

I start my day filling out paperwork for the morning and afternoon schedule for the dogs they have different groups based on size and temperament large, medium, small, and puppy. Then I delegate tasks to my team to manage the upkeep of the resort cleaning runs, dishes, scooping yards, laundry etc until their assigned group goes out for play time it’s typically 1-2 hours of 10 dogs then after the hour is up we pull that group inside and start on the next group. Next a dispense medication to the lodging dogs in the facility and make breakfast for all the lodging dogs I repeat those steps for lunch, and dinner. During my slow time i prepare the schedule white board for the next day so my team and visually see who is leaving at the end of the day and what dogs are coming in the following day, also I help clean when needed like dishes, feeding the cats, laundry and running dogs to go home when their parent comes to get them. Then i complete the paperwork for the day if a dog had an injury I would write the incident report and of course notify the parent right away that is a very rare occurrence at this facility because we are very particular on what dogs we allow in group play. At the end of the night I lock up all doors, vents, make sure dogs have proper bedding and turn off the lights at the end of each day 

I find working at Pawhootz to be infinitely rewarding. I love the pet boarding/daycare industry. It is challenging, fast paced, fun, social, and fulfilling.
My managers at Pawhootz listen to my needs and are supportive through the various challenges I face. My team members are energetic and fun to work with. It is a very diverse environment, and very easy to fit in. I felt welcomed from day one. 
It's a lot of work. Seriously a lot of hard (and often messy) work, but I thrive in that kind of environment. Every job has it's challenges, and so does this one. But I am a very growth oriented person. I hate feeling like I'm just coasting through life and work. The personal and professional growth experiences and opportunities here are so worth the long, busy days. 
And, I mean, you get to work with animals!
If you love animals, hard work, fun people, and challenging yourself, then this is for you too!

So depending on the shift during the day, you will be walking dogs and cleaning runs and in between, there will be a person who operates one group of 3 to 15 dogs. Within an hour from your lead or manager, they will give you a task to do for each hour until it is time for your break and/or end of your shift.

Management is okay, however, there can be a bit confusing with words being spread but depends. Workplace culture is diverse and not drama-free at times if not discussed the issues with someone higher. They rarely train you and expect you to know certain things. Yet asking questions is fine, just be aware you will be reminded of a lot of things that you already know.

The most enjoyable part is always the dog and some people you can rely on. Those who are willing to accept you and help you along the way will be there.

This is a nice entry-level but it's not to the point of staying longer.

I've been here for over 3 years now and this place has helped me grow my people skills, my confidence, and my ability to think quick on my feet and stay calm cool and collected when something unexpected arises. My coworkers make the days go by quickly regardless of how busy we are. I don't think I could go back to a job that would give me less than an hour lunch break. The owner is very involved and the current GM is probably going to turn this company into a franchise in the next year or so! I definitely recommend anyone who isn't quite sure what they want to do in the future to try this out, they are always willing to grow their people and moving on up requires you to put in the work and you will be rewarded by far one of the most rewarding jobs I have ever had the privilege of having! 

I DO NOT recommend working here unless you enjoy
1. An owner that shows little to no interest in her own company and employees 
2. Management that is hardly ever there
3. Absolutely no communication 
4. Not having your ideas and concerns heard
5. A company that puts revenue over their employees and customers safety and well-being 
Working here was the most physically and emotionally draining job I’ve had, while also feeling the least appreciated. Anything brought up in meetings in glazed over and ignored once the meeting ends. Almost everyone in a leadership position or role felt that was grounds to no longer do anything and push off their responsibilities to the counselors so be prepared for that. DO NOT WORK HERE

This is a great place to work in any position as they really genuinely care to see you succeed. The management takes suggestions seriously. They try hard to make sure everyone is happy and successful. They listen with care to every issue that may arise and take action if needed. The management does actually care about you. It’s refreshing compared to a lot of employers.

I felt unwanted there even though they relied on my photos and presence to get them done. For the amount of work and effort I put into my role, I was not paid fairly nor was I appreciated enough for my efforts.

I would 100% recommend working at PawHootz! PawHootz is a place we’re you can grow your career in the pet care industry, the management is the best and are very understanding people!

Overall, it's a great opportunity to learn and meet awesome people. However, it can be very cliquey at times with some workplace drama. Management is okay and can be sporadic at times.
