What we're looking for:

We are looking for dedicated, punctual people who have an attention to detail and LOVE ANIMALS! We prefer candidates to have prior experience with dogs in a shelter, dog boarding facility or veterinary hospital. You have to be okay with getting dirty. We want you to be able to roll up your sleeves and get right into it.

These candidates will be able to quickly adapt to an ever changing environment, remember its dogs, and be able to prioritize quickly.

These candidates will understand that our first responsibility is to our guests (both two and four legged) and will have the sense of ethics to do what is right for them.
