We need someone to help us take care of the dogs. Walk them, clean up after them, love on them, play with them, feed them, etc. A basic understanding of animal behavior and dog body language is essential.
We are looking for an adult that is physically capable, and who is able to work every scheduled shift. Time off can be arranged with good notice. You do not need to have professional animal experience, though it would help. We need someone who is trainable, and a self starter. Must love dogs.
Playing with dogs is fun but it is also hard work. We find people new to our industry are often surprised by this.
THE SKILLS WE NEED:
- Customer Service Oriented
- Basic Computer Skills
- Good at following directions
- Multitasking
THE EMOTIONAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE JOB INCLUDE:
- Respecting your coworkers and the guests we have
- Loving animals unconditionally and being kind to them no matter what
- Navigating loud and busy enviroments
- Being Adaptive (caring for living animals means surprises!)
- Enjoying a team work environment as well as solo tasks
- Good Attitude
THE PHYSICAL DEMANDS OF THE JOB INCLUDE:
- Heavy Cleaning, working with specific chemicals and protocol for sanitizing
- Walking up to 5 miles a day, at a fast pace including stairs
- Lifting 40 lbs regularly and safely
- Handling large or unruly dogs (some guests can be well over 100lbs) This can include leash walking giant breeds on stairs when they are excited or acting wild.
- Working inside/outside regardless of weather (dogs need to go out no matter what)
- Kneeling to clean
If this all sounds good and things work out, there is opportunity for more hours if desired and many ways to get a raise quickly.
