Full Job Description

About Wags n Whiskers:

We are Wags n Whiskers ("WnW"), a fast-growing owner-operator group of 16 pet care facilities. It was founded by four partners who shared a dream of entrepreneurship and a vision to build a network of high-quality centers.

WnW is self-funded by the founders and is not backed by private equity or institutional investors. We believe this aligns us strongly with the family-oriented culture cultivated at previously independently owned pet facilities that are now part of our network. Our organization is decentralized and our managers are foundational to our culture and process building.

If you are looking for a leadership role within an entrepreneurial environment while making an outsized impact in a growing organization in a socially impactful industry, you’ve come to the right company.
