Full Job Description

At The Dog’s Advocate, we believe structure creates freedom , for dogs and for people. We are a structured, lifestyle-based dog training and boarding facility focused on leadership, clarity, and purposeful care.

Our programs include boarding, board-and-train, structured day camp, and private training. Every dog in our care is handled with intention and professionalism.

If you believe leadership and consistency matter, you’ll fit right in.

Position Overview

We are hiring a Part-Time Kennel Technician / Day Camp Assistant to support daily kennel operations and structured day camp activities.

This is a hands-on, physical position — not a desk job.

We are looking for someone calm, observant, dependable, and comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including high-drive working breeds.

Responsibilities

Kennel & Facility Care

Cleaning and sanitizing kennels, crates, and common areas
Laundry and general facility upkeep
Feeding and watering dogs according to individualized instructions
Monitoring health, appetite, and behavior

Day Camp Support

Assisting with structured group play (not chaotic free play)
Safely managing dog interactions
Practicing basic obedience structure (sit, down, place, leash walking)
Loading and unloading dogs for transport when needed

Client & Team Support

Communicating clearly with leadership about dog behavior or concerns
Following handling protocols exactly as instructed
Maintaining a calm, professional presence at all times

Requirements

18+ years old
Reliable transportation
Able to lift 50+ pounds
Comfortable working outdoors in all weather
Physically capable of standing, bending, lifting, and walking for extended periods
Available one weekend day per week (required)
Prior dog handling experience preferred (training, kennel, vet, farm, etc.)

Ideal Candidate

Naturally calm and confident
Not easily flustered
Observant and detail-oriented
Takes direction well
Understands that structure creates safety
Team-oriented and professional

This is not a “just play with dogs” position. We are looking for someone who understands that consistency and leadership create stability, safety, and freedom.

Schedule

Part-Time | Approximately 15–25 hours per week

Shifts are structured as follows:

Morning Shift: 8:00 AM – 11:30 AM
Afternoon Shift: 2:00 PM – 4:30 PM
Evening Shift: 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM

On assigned workdays, team members will be scheduled for all three shifts.

Employees are permitted to leave between shifts or may remain on the property between scheduled work times.

One weekend day per week is required.

Compensation

Starting Pay: $15/hour

Pay: From $15.00 per hour

Work Location: In person
