Full Job Description

Hire Immediately (Must Love Animals):
Ming’s Place is a homestyle dog daycare and boarding facility providing loving care, exercise, and socialization for dogs and cats. We also operate alongside our 501(c)(3) non-profit rescue, Capital Animal Rescue and Environmental Foundation (C.A.R.E.), which rehabilitates and provides forever homes for animals in need.

Available Shifts & Hours

Full-Time: Minimum of 8 hours a day, 4 to 5 days per week, including weekends and holidays (7:45 am to 7:00 pm, and a brief check from 8:00 pm to 9:00 pm). *Includes a scheduled lunch break from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm. Must be available to work weekends.
Part-Time Options: Morning Shift: 7:30 am to 12:00 pm/ Afternoon shift: 2:00pm-7:00pm *The option to scale into a full-day shift (8:00 am to 7:00 pm) is available. Must be available to work weekends.

Core Responsibilities

Availability: Work regularly on weekdays, weekends, and holidays as client boarding needs fluctuate.
Animal Logistics: Safely drive, pick up, or drop off designated dogs using your license.
Pet Husbandry: Feed pets, administer medications accurately, and constantly monitor water supplies to refill them as necessary.
Sanitation: Conduct intensive cleaning and strict daily environmental maintenance.
Updates: Document care by taking high-quality photos of the pets for owners.
Punctuality: Be reliable, professional, and arrive exactly 10 minutes early for every shift.

Personality Preference & Team

Operate as a highly communicative, supportive pack—both for our animals and our staff. We are specifically looking for candidates who possess the following traits:

True Team Player: You thrive in a collaborative environment, actively help your coworkers during hectic shifts, and maintain a positive, solution-oriented attitude.
Group Coordination: Comfortable working closely with others in shared physical spaces to manage large groups of dogs safely and efficiently.
Egoless Collaboration: Willing to step in and help with less glamorous tasks (like intensive cleaning) because you understand it keeps the whole team and the animals safe.
Active Communicator: Eager to share real-time updates with teammates regarding animal behavior, safety concerns, or scheduling changes.

Strict Multi-Tasking & Task-Prioritization Rules

To guarantee absolute pet safety and reduce operational errors, true multitasking is restricted. Staff must execute day-to-day duties using strict sequential tasking structured around these three firm priorities:

Priority 1: Animal Control & Safety (Absolute Focus)
Absolute focus must be maintained when monitoring packs of 10+ dogs or administering prescribed medication. Using personal cell phones, taking client photos, or distracting yourself with cleaning tasks while managing an active dog pack is strictly forbidden.
Priority 2: Client Management & Logistics

Safely complete pick-up and drop-off driving routes. Phone usage or checking text messages while driving company or client animals is strictly prohibited.

Priority 3: Maintenance, Feeding & Media Documentation

Feed animals, execute intensive environmental cleaning, and take client updates/photos only after verifying that all dogs are safely secured in their designated rest areas.

Strict Weight-Lifting & Physical Requirements

Frequent Lifting (Up to 50 lbs): Must have the physical stamina to continuously lift, carry, slide, and maneuver heavy animal supplies (such as 40–50 lb bags of dog food, bulky litter bins, and heavy transport crates) throughout the day.
Team-Lift Mandate: Handling any animal, equipment, or supply load that exceeds 50 pounds strictly requires utilizing a team-lift format with your coworkers or secondary mechanical assistance.
High-Intensity Physical Activity: Must be able to run, walk, sprint, bend, and react quickly throughout the day to safely manage groups of 10+ active dogs in both indoor spaces and outdoor yards.
Weather Tolerance: Must be fully capable of working outdoors in most local seasonal weather conditions.

Candidate Requirements

MUST genuinely "LOVE" and inherently understand dog and cat behaviors.
Must hold a current, valid driver's license and maintain a history of completely safe driving.
Must possess a personal smartphone with reliable texting services and daily internet access.
Be highly flexible with schedules and available to work at least 2 major annual holidays (Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, New Year's Day, or Independence Day).

Preferred Professional Competencies

Demonstrates excellent judgment in optimizing resources and handling sensitive client data.
Self-motivated with strong time management, customer service, and organizational habits.
Strong work ethic paired with a proactive, entrepreneurial mindset.
