Atlas Paws is Toronto's friendliest dog daycare and boarding club. Three locations across the core, a busy grooming salon, and daycare groups that range from chihuahuas to leonbergers. Our team is small, scrappy, and dog-obsessed.The roleYou'll spend your day with the crew. Reading body language, managing play, breaking up the occasional zoomie spiral, making sure every dog goes home tired and happy. This isn't a sit-behind-a-desk job — it's hands-on, rapid-paced, and physical. If "I get to hang out with 30 dogs all day" sounds like a dream rather than a punishment, you'll fit right in.What you'll actually doSupervise group play with dogs of all sizes (small dog room, big dog room, mixed group)Read canine body language and intervene before things escapeHandle 20+ dogs at a time with calm confidenceFeeding, watering, medication administration (we train)Cleaning: suites, play areas, the occasional accident (there are many accidents)Check dogs in and out of suites for boardingHelp with shuttle transfers between locationsKeep detailed daily notes on each pupWhat we need from youGenuine love for dogs across the entire size spectrum — yes, even the 120-lb mastiff and the 4-lb yorkie who screamsPhysically fit: 8+ hours on your feet, occasional lifting to 50 lbs, bending, kneeling, the occasional sprintCalm under pressure — you can handle a scuffle, a sick dog,
