Full Job Description

At Bella's Play & Stay, we believe exceptional pet care starts with exceptional leadership.

We're looking for a hands-on General Manager who is passionate about developing people, creating a culture of accountability, and providing outstanding care for every dog that walks through our doors.

This isn't a management position where you'll spend your day behind a desk. Our General Manager leads from the front—working alongside the team, coaching employees, solving problems, supporting dogs with varying behavioral needs, and ensuring every aspect of our operation runs smoothly.

You'll work closely with our Owner and Operations Manager to oversee the daily operations of the facility while developing department managers, shift leads, and team members into confident, capable leaders.

About Bella's

Bella's Play & Stay is more than a boarding and daycare facility. We strive to create an environment where every dog has the opportunity to succeed.

Many of the dogs we care for have unique personalities, limited socialization, anxiety, fear, or behavioral challenges. Rather than simply managing those behaviors, we work to understand them. We believe in reading body language, building trust, creating positive experiences, and helping dogs become more confident over time whenever it can be done safely.

Our General Manager plays a vital role in fostering this philosophy while creating a workplace built on teamwork, professionalism, accountability, and continuous growth.

What You'll Do

Oversee the daily operations of our boarding, daycare, reception, and grooming departments
Lead, mentor, and support department managers, shift leads, and team members
Build a culture of accountability through coaching, leadership, and consistent follow-through
Create and manage employee schedules while maintaining appropriate staffing levels
Ensure company policies, procedures, and care standards are consistently followed
Assist with hiring, onboarding, and employee development
Provide coaching and performance feedback to help employees grow professionally
Resolve customer concerns with professionalism and empathy
Monitor labor efficiency and daily operational performance
Perform regular facility walk-throughs to ensure cleanliness, safety, and quality standards
Collaborate with the Owner and Operations Manager on staffing, operational improvements, and company initiatives
Step into daily operations whenever needed to support the team

The Leader We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who naturally brings calm, confidence, and steady leadership to challenging situations.

Professional experience working with dogs is certainly valuable, but we believe leadership, problem-solving, emotional intelligence, and a willingness to learn are just as important. We are willing to train the right person in our handling techniques, philosophy, and operational systems.

The right candidate:

Leads with confidence, professionalism, and integrity
Remains calm under pressure and helps others do the same
Takes ownership and enjoys solving problems
Is comfortable making decisions in fast-paced environments
Can coach employees through difficult situations while maintaining a positive, supportive culture
Is confident handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments or is eager to develop that confidence through training
Approaches behavioral challenges with curiosity, patience, and sound judgment rather than avoidance
Believes every interaction is an opportunity to help both people and dogs become more successful
Leads by example and isn't afraid to jump in wherever needed

QualificationsRequired

Previous leadership or management experience
Strong communication and interpersonal skills
Excellent organizational and time management abilities
Ability to confidently lead a team in a fast-paced environment
Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills
Willingness to learn canine behavior, body language, and our handling philosophy

Preferred

Experience leading teams in hospitality, retail, childcare, veterinary medicine, boarding, daycare, grooming, training, or another service-based industry
Professional experience working with dogs
Experience coaching and developing employees
Experience creating employee schedules and managing staffing
Knowledge of canine behavior and body language

Physical Requirements

Ability to stand and walk for extended periods
Ability to lift up to 50 pounds
Comfortable working around dogs of all breeds and sizes
Ability to work both indoors and outdoors in varying weather conditions
Willingness to actively participate in the day-to-day operations of the facility

Why Join Bella's Play & Stay?

We're a growing company that believes great leadership creates great teams—and great teams create exceptional experiences for our clients and their dogs.

If you're looking for a career where you can make a meaningful impact on both people and pets while helping shape the future of a growing business, we'd love to hear from you.
