LOVE DOGS? COME WORK WITH US!

Posh Pooch Hotel & Daycare is looking for a reliable, hardworking Dog Daycare & Boarding Attendant with a future transition into Front Desk & Customer Service to join our team!

If you love animals, enjoy staying active and are comfortable helping customers, this could be a great fit for you.

You will begin working in the back with the dogs, learning our animal-care routines, safety procedures and daily operations. Once you have a solid understanding of how our facility runs and are confident in these responsibilities, you may have the opportunity to receive training to transition into front desk and customer service duties.

We’re looking for someone who is happy to start with hands-on animal care and interested in eventually helping our clients at the front desk. The timing of this transition will depend on your training progress, readiness and the needs of the facility. Flexibility to assist with animal care and cleaning will remain part of the role.

Working in a dog daycare is rewarding, but it is also physical, busy, loud and messy! Our attendants keep the dogs in our care safe, happy and comfortable while maintaining a clean and organized facility.

What You’ll Be Doing

Starting with dog daycare and boarding care:

- Supervising daycare groups and monitoring dog behavior
- Safely grouping and rotating dogs for play and rest
- Helping prevent and appropriately respond to conflicts between dogs
- Feeding dogs and administering oral medications as directed
- Cleaning and sanitizing kennels and boarding areas
- Scooping poop and cleaning accidents
- Mopping and pressure washing play areas
- Washing and sanitizing dishes
- Bathing, brushing and assisting with nail trims
- Completing general cleaning and facility duties
- Working with the team to provide excellent care for every animal staying with us

As you transition into front desk and customer service:

- Greeting clients and assisting with pet drop-offs and pickups
- Answering phone calls, emails and customer questions
- Helping clients with daycare, boarding and service reservations
- Processing payments and explaining rates and policies
- Updating client and pet records accurately
- Sharing care updates with clients and communicating important information to the animal-care team
- Keeping the front desk and lobby clean and organized





Training will be provided for both animal-care and front desk responsibilities.
