Dog Handler

Full Time

Do you LOVE dogs? This is the job for you.

Spend all day with dogs while earning experience and skills for the animal field.

We are a doggy training, group play daycare/ boarding, grooming, hiking, petsitting, and swimming facility looking for compassionate people who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty. Job responsibilities include monitoring dogs during group play, one-on-one playtimes, one-on-one hugs and cuddles, walks, bathing, assisting trainers, feeding/watering, cleaning, and other odd jobs (such as taking pictures for social media, etc.).

Because we began as a training facility over 25 years ago, we have a focus on dog training, reading, and interpreting canine body language. We cultivate a constant learning environment and offer a Training Internship for those with the initiative and interest in becoming a dog trainer, and a Grooming Apprenticeship for those interested in becomming professional dog groomers. Every position in the facility, from Administration to Swim Instructor, begins in the kennel as a Dog Handler.

We are staffed 24/7; We are looking for people who can work 3:00pm-11:00pm and weekend shifts. Scheduling is flexible and I offer unlimited un-paid Time Off so long as it is requested and approved in a timely fashion. The job is team-based, so you will be working with others.
