Monday-Friday
all weekends OFF
all holidays OFF
Tails-A-Wagging cares for dogs during the day. As the only Fear-Free certified, enrichment-based doggie daycare in our area, we are not like other doggie daycares.
Dogs come to play, socialize, exercise, and also to learn!
Dogs are loud, always silly, sometimes gross, definitely loving, and a bit dirty; you need to love all of that!
We are looking for individuals who can be available during both morning and afternoon hours, Monday through Friday.
We are open Monday-Friday from 6:55 am-6:05 pm and are looking for someone with an flexible schedule between those hours.
Staff is also expected to attend an hour-long staff meeting, after hours, once a month from 6:05 PM to 7:05 PM. Approx. 20-30 hours/week, for this position.
Please do not apply if you are not able to work Monday-Friday.
We have an extensive employee training program. Training is 2 weeks of paid training where you learn about working with dogs one on one and in groups, reading dog body language, learning about appropriate play and interactions, fear-free skills, and MUCH more.
We pride ourselves on being more than just a doggie daycare, we are a doggie school, and lots of knowledge comes with being a dog care attendant!
Our Ideal Candidates: An unshakably positive attitude is a must as the job is challenging both physically and mentally –
We love these dogs rain or shine! We are looking for someone that is going to bring something to the team every time they come to work.
Being a self-starter, being able to multitask effectively, having a passion for dogs, and continuous improvement is a must. You must be able to communicate effectively and work with a team of like-minded people.
Must be 18+ and looking for a long-term position. Although previous experience with dogs and animals is an asset, we value your kindness, compassion, and attitude more. Your drive should be for providing the best possible care for the dogs AND their pet parents.
We strive to create a good work-life balance for our team and have a strong belief in having a diverse and inclusive company. Kindness and compassion towards both 2 and 4 legged beings is the core of our culture.
Position starts at $19/hour, with a review meeting in 3 months. You will also be given the opportunity to earn raises based on continued education through our Pawsitive Track Levels Program- an incentive program to help staff know as much as they can about dog behavior!
