Full Job Description

Do you love dogs? Are you looking for a fun, active job where no two days are the same? Happy Tails Activity & Learning Center for Dogs is looking for 2-3 Weekend Kennel Assistants to join our team!

As summer winds down, we're getting ready for a new season… and that means saying goodbye to some truly incredible team members.

Many of our amazing high school staff are heading off to college, several of our college team members are returning to campus, and our beloved Kennel Lead is beginning an exciting new adventure as she moves to Florida this fall. While we're beyond excited for each of them and so proud of what they’re accomplishing, we’d be lying if we said we weren't going to miss them terribly.

The good news? That means we're looking for our next group of rockstars to join the Happy Tails family!

If you’ve ever wanted to spend your days caring for dogs, working alongside an incredible team, and making a real difference in the lives of pets and their families, we’d love to meet you.

We’re looking for dependable, hardworking, positive people who:

Love dogs (even the muddy, slobbery, goofy ones!)
Aren’t afraid of physical work and staying busy
Work well as part of a team
Want a job that’s meaningful, rewarding, and never boring

At Happy Tails, we don't just care for dogs—we help them feel safe, comfortable, enriched, and loved while they're away from home. If you're hardworking, reliable, and passionate about animals, we'd love to meet you.

Available Schedule

We are looking for team members interested in working approximately 8-18 hours per weekend.

Primary shifts available:

Saturdays: 7:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Sundays: 7:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Additional weekday shifts may also be available for candidates looking for more hours.

What You'll Be Doing

Every day is different, but responsibilities may include:

Feeding, watering, and caring for dogs
Taking dogs outside for potty breaks and exercise
Administering medications as directed
Bathing dogs before they go home
Providing enrichment activities and playtime
Monitoring dogs for changes in health or behavior
Taking fun photos and videos for social media
Cleaning and disinfecting kennels, crates, floors, and common areas
Assisting with laundry, dishes, and general facility upkeep
Maintaining accurate records and communicating concerns with management

Our team works with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities—from outgoing social butterflies to shy, nervous, and anxious dogs. We place a strong emphasis on understanding canine behavior and helping dogs feel safe and successful during their stay.

Who Thrives Here?

We're a hardworking team that loves to laugh, support one another, and create a positive environment for both dogs and people.

The ideal candidate:

Loves dogs and animals
Has a strong work ethic
Is dependable and reliable
Works well independently
Stays calm when things get busy
Has a positive, go-with-the-flow attitude
Communicates well with others
Is willing to learn and grow

This is not a desk job. You'll be on your feet most of the day walking, bending, lifting, scrubbing, mopping, carrying supplies, and handling dogs of various sizes. The work can be physically demanding, but it's also incredibly rewarding.

Requirements

Must be at least 17 years old
Must have reliable transportation
Must be comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments
Must be physically capable of lifting, bending, standing, and performing cleaning duties throughout the day
Previous experience working with animals is preferred but not required
Experience in pet care, dog handling, grooming, veterinary medicine, or customer service is a plus
Basic social media skills are helpful
Must be available to work weekends and holidays as needed

Because dogs need care every day, our team works weekends and holidays throughout the year. Holiday scheduling is shared among team members whenever possible.

Pay & Benefits

Starting pay: $14 per hour
Opportunities for performance-based raises as early as 3-6 months
Guaranteed annual raises
Monthly bonuses available
Employee discounts on training services and retail products
Opportunities for advancement into leadership, training, and specialty roles

Full-Time Team Members (35+ hours/week) Also Receive:

Paid vacation time
Paid holidays
401(k) with company match up to 4% after one year
Medical insurance (company pays 50% of premium)

Why Happy Tails?

We work hard, but we also have fun. We are responsible for furry lives, so we take our jobs seriously—but we also believe work should be enjoyable. If you're looking for a career where you can make a difference in the lives of dogs while being part of an amazing team, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today and start your tail-wagging career with Happy Tails!
