Day Shift Dog Watching information

What is the difference between Day Shift Dog Watching vs Pet Sitting?

AspectDay Shift Dog WatchingPet Sitting
CredentialsBasic pet care knowledge, possibly pet first aidSame as dog watching, may include additional certifications
Work EnvironmentPrimarily outdoors or at client's home during daytimeAt client's home or pet's environment, flexible hours
Employer & IndustryPet care services, dog walking companies, independent caregiversPet care services, pet sitting agencies, independent sitters

Day Shift Dog Watching involves supervising and caring for dogs during daytime hours, often focusing on exercise and companionship. Pet Sitting covers a broader range of pets and may include overnight stays or extended care. Both roles require similar skills and certifications, but dog watching is more specific to dogs and daytime work, while pet sitting offers more flexibility and variety in pet types.

Can you make money watching dogs?

Day shift dog watching can be a paid job, especially if offered through pet sitting services or platforms. Compensation varies based on location, experience, and the number of dogs cared for, with some pet sitters earning a regular income or supplementary income by providing daily care and companionship for dogs.

Job description

Dog Daycare Attendant Full-Time

Do you thrive in high-energy environments? Love dogs — but also understand that safety comes first?

We’re looking for a Full-Time Dog Daycare Attendant to supervise group play sessions, manage pack dynamics, and ensure every dog has a safe, structured, and enriching daycare experience. This is an active, fast-paced role that requires focus, stamina, and confidence in a group dog setting.

Who We Are

NVA Pet Resorts is part of National Veterinary Associates (NVA) — the largest private owner of veterinary hospitals and pet resorts in North America, with 1,300+ locations. We’re proud to be in an $8B+ industry that continues to grow as pet parents seek premium, trusted care for their furry family members. At NVA Pet Resorts, our mission is simple: create safe, fun, and loving environments for pets while providing exceptional experiences for our clients and team members

What You’ll Do

As a Daycare Attendant, you are responsible for the safety and structure of the pack.

Your day will include:

  • Supervising group play sessions with multiple dogs
  • Monitoring body language and preventing conflicts
  • Redirecting inappropriate behavior calmly and confidently
  • Separating dogs when needed
  • Walking dogs to and from play areas
  • Cleaning and sanitizing play yards throughout your shift
  • Monitoring health and reporting any concerns immediately
  • Documenting playgroup notes and behavior observations
  • Communicating updates to leadership and occasionally to pet parents
  • You will be on your feet most of the day, moving quickly, and staying alert.
  • Yes — you will clean messes. Yes — you’ll get dirty. Yes — it can be loud and busy.
  • And yes — it’s incredibly rewarding when done well.

What We’re Looking For

  • We’re seeking someone who is:
  • Confident supervising groups of dogs
  • Knowledgeable (or willing to learn) about dog behavior and pack dynamics
  • Calm, assertive, and safety-focused
  • Physically active and comfortable standing for long periods
  • Detail-oriented with strong observation skills
  • Reliable and punctual
  • Team-oriented with a positive attitude

You must be able to:

  • Lift up to 60 lbs
  • Handle dogs of all sizes safely
  • Work indoors and outdoors in various temperatures
  • Work weekends and holidays
  • Stay focused in a noisy, fast-moving environment

Work Schedule

  • Full-Time
  • Monday–Friday shifts
  • Weekend availability required
  • Holiday availability required

Benefits & Perks

  • Health, Dental & Vision Insurance
  • Paid Training
  • Employee Pet Care Discounts
  • Tips (where applicable)
  • Growth opportunities within NVA
