Assist the Manager with daily task lists, ensuring the facility remains clean, organized, and hazard-free.
Perform "quality checks" throughout the day to ensure all pets are comfortable, clean, and happy.
Help coordinate special events, such as themed daycare parties or enrichment activities.

4. Client Communication

Assist with check-ins and check-outs, providing detailed and professional updates to pet parents about their dog’s day.
Handle minor customer concerns on the floor with patience and professionalism.

Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of dog body language and safe handling techniques.
