  • Contributing to a positive culture with a focus on building and strengthening team rapport
  • Routinely updating our database with animal data

 

While our dogs demand our attention, if you have a soft spot for cats and kittens, you may be asked to lend an occasional hand in our Cattery where there is no shortage of rumbly purrs and mischief

 

What to expect

  • A loud and messy, but lively environment with animals of all sizes and characters.
  • To follow all safety protocols. We do work with animals, after all.
  • A mix of indoor and outdoor activities daily.
  • To stay active; you’ll be walking, standing, and doing the occasional lifting (up to 50 lbs. with help).

  • You’re pretty good at reading animal behavior, it’s just like speaking in another language.
  • You have experience managing people and enjoy having a direct hand in developing and motivating a dedicated team.
  • You are happy working alone and being teamed up with others.
