Kennel Assistant -Full Time & Part Time

68th near 192nd AVe, Vancouver WA

Description

We are looking to add 2-3 more staff to our team in the next few weeks. You should be someone who prefers to work outside, likes long walks with 10-15 friends (dogs of all sizes and ages), would rather mow grass than sit at a desk, thinks dirt is cool, isn't afraid of a little poo or dog hair or drool, prefers dogs over most people, is strong enough to move heavy stuff, is considerate of others, has great work ethics and likes to work as a team. We are a dog boarding/training/daycare facility on 5 fully fenced acres. We have separate play areas, covered outdoor play & 2400 sq ft inside. We walk dogs (off leash) in groups of 5-20, we do a little training and work on manners, we play a lot. This job can be both physically and mentally demanding, there are a lot of moving parts that need to be constantly tended too. To succeed you must have strength in both areas. We have puppies but we don't sit and pet them all day. Our schedules are a bit crazy and adjust to the number and energy of the dogs. Our days start at 6am and end at 9pm, shifts are typically 6-8 hours. We take care of the needs of the dogs as a team so the schedule can change weekly. That said we can work around some things and believe that work/life balance is important. To apply for this position please send an email telling us a little about you, your work history and why you would like to work at a kennel. Please try Not to say its because you love dogs. :) Also let us know if you are looking for full/part time and any conflicts/schedule needs we should know about and when you would be able to start if hired. We typically do interviews around 12:15 Tues-Sat, please let us know if there is a better day for you. We are unable to hire anyone under the age of 17 and we are not on the bus line so you will need reliable transportation (its not bike friendly either). The plan is to start interviews right away and hire within the next two weeks. Let us know if you have questions Thanks
