ABOUT 24 HOUR DOG DAYCARE

We are a 24/7 dog boarding facility that has raised the bar when it comes to being there for our clients. We know that dogs are a 24/7-365 commitment, which is why both of our locations are open and available 24/7-365. Our dog boarding facility is sound-proof and cage-free. We keep it clean and ready for whenever our clients need us, even at the drop of a hat. We pride ourselves on our communication and dedication, too. Our clients can talk to us about anything dog-related and we're here to help!

Reviews show that our clients love our dog boarding facility, and we attribute these positive reviews to our staff. We employ people who love dogs, and that passion comes through in our work. Our company culture is friendly and laid-back. We maintain flexible scheduling, train our employees to succeed, and together we are a team. Not only do we love dogs, but we love working together.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A DOG CARE ATTENDANT / PACK LEADER

So does your bubbly personality, which brings our clients back again and again.

You spend the bulk of your shift with the pups, overseeing a playgroup or working with them individually to acclimate them. Poop is part of your job too, but a little cleanup now and then is worth the chance to spend your workday having fun. It's hard work too. The dogs are lively, and managing multiples requires lots of energy. You wouldn't have it any other way, though. You love that those pups are in good hands while their people are away, and you're so glad that those hands are yours!

As part of the evaluation process a meet and greet will be scheduled for you to come visit us! During this visit we will expose you to our work environment, have you interact with our staff and dogs, and help you to gain a better understanding of what life is like here at 24 Hour Dog Daycare!
