Canine Concierge (taking care of pooches, pups and facility)
This part time position is responsible for providing quality care and sanitary environment and also providing excellent customer service to all of our guests. Duties include cleaning, feeding, bathing, setting up overnight board and train guests and assisting wrangler / trainers with their play and training groups.
It is important to understand this job is not one in which you will be sitting around and playing with cute little puppies all day. Although a good portion of your day will be spent around dogs, there is very little sitting around. The dogs and puppies must be constantly kept in a clean, friendly, physically and mentally healthy environment which includes a variety of cleaning duties.
When you are not working directly with the dogs, you will be cleaning up after them, sweeping and mopping floors, cleaning crates, emptying trash, and washing dishes…to name a few your responsibilities. You will be peed on and pooped on. You will have to clean up diarrhea and vomit. You will be exposed to loud noise, blood, cleaning agents (however, we are as green as possible in this area), allergens and dander. Although we do our best to screen all dogs that enter our facility, dogs are unpredictable by nature. Therefore, you risk the danger of being bitten or injured by an animal. If you have a problem with any of this, again, please reconsider before applying for this job.
