Full Job Description

Wage: $18-$24/hour to start based on experience, plus tips (100% of tips are distributed to the team; typical additional $1-3/hour in effective wages). Structured raises to $22 at 6 months, $23 at 12 months, and $24+ at 24 months for handlers who join at the base rate. Career ladder posted publicly: Handler Lead Handler Assistant Manager Manager.

Hours: 36-40 hours per week, with occasional overtime up to 45 hours during peak seasons paid at time-and-a-half. Weekend and holiday rotation is required. This is a scheduled shift job — you'll get a published schedule each week and be expected to work your assigned shifts. If you're looking for something you drop in and out of, this isn't it.

Location: Green Acres K9 Resort, 26075 SE Highway 212, Boring, Oregon 97009

ABOUT GREEN ACRES

Green Acres has been Portland-metro's family-owned boarding and daycare resort for 19 years. We sit on a 260,000 square-foot campus with pool, creek, pond, and real grass. Dogs live like they're on vacation, and we treat them that way. This isn't a warehouse job — this is a career track for people who genuinely love working with dogs and want to grow with a stable, respected small business.

WHAT YOU'LL DO (THE HONEST VERSION)

Manage playgroups of 8-15 dogs safely — composing, monitoring, breaking up misbehavior calmly, never punitively
Feed, water, and administer medications per each dog's care plan
Clean kennels, yards, and common areas throughout the day — yes, that includes urine, feces, vomit, and the occasional mystery. If that's a dealbreaker, this is not your job.
Perform temperament assessments on new dogs
Escort dogs to/from pickup and drop-off, handle owner conversations at the counter
Log incidents accurately and immediately
Support the overnight and grooming teams as needed
Follow SOPs for vaccinations, playgroup composition, cleaning, and emergencies

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Calm under pressure. A yard of 12 excited dogs doesn't rattle you.
Service industry background (restaurant, retail, hospitality) OR prior kennel/vet clinic experience
Physical fitness — you'll be on your feet all shift, occasionally lifting 40+ pounds, and moving fast
Reliable transportation to Boring
Comfort with weekend and holiday rotation
Two references from prior employers
Genuinely likes dogs — but understands that liking dogs is not a job skill; consistency, safety judgment, and physical stamina are

What we are NOT looking for:

People who just want to hang out with dogs all day
Anyone who thinks kennel work is a lifestyle rather than a job with structure and accountability
Applicants who can't commit to weekend/holiday rotation

WHAT WE OFFER

Starting wage $18-$24/hour with a written raise schedule ($22 at 6 months, $23 at 12 months, $24 at 24 months)
10 days PTO year one, 15 days year two — accrued from day 1
QSEHRA health benefit — $250/month toward your individual health insurance premium
50% off boarding and daycare for your own dogs
Hard cap 45 hours per week — no burnout schedules
Guaranteed 2 consecutive days off each week
Holiday rotation — the same 3 people don't cover Thanksgiving every year
Quarterly team bonus ($250/person) when we hit a zero-bite-incident quarter
100% of tips are distributed to the team — pooled and split among staff
Career ladder posted publicly — you know exactly what you need to do to advance
Weekly 15-minute 1:1 with the owner — feedback goes both ways

OUR HIRING PROCESS (NO GHOSTING, NO SURPRISES)

1. Apply through Homebase — 5-minute application

2. 15-minute phone screen — if we like your app, we call within 3 business days

3. 30-minute in-person interview and facility tour — meet the owner, see the property

4. 90-minute paid working interview — you shadow a shift at $21/hour. We see how you move on the floor.

5. Reference check — we call 2 prior employers

6. Offer — within 5 business days of your working interview

You'll hear from us either way. If we're not moving forward, we tell you why.
