Dog Handler & Daycare Attendant @ The Dog Stop

Job Description

Job Description

The Dog Stop® is looking for energetic Canine Handlers, dubbed "Canine Companions," to join our team.

The Role

Our Handlers care for and supervise dogs in daycare and boarding, ensuring their safety, well-being, and enrichment. While the role is relatively straightforward, it requires our handlers to prioritize dog safety above all else; and maintain cleanliness as a close second. This is a highly active, physical role, and not just sitting around playing with or petting dogs. This role was previously referred to as a “Runner” and all applicants should expect being on their feet all day, racking up over 10k steps.

Applicants must be available to work at least one weekend shift (Saturday or Sunday) . Our facility operates 7 days a week to provide the best care for our pups, so weekend coverage is essential, and required.

Job Responsibilities Include

• Monitor and interact with groups of dogs to ensure safety and positive behavior
• Spot and address early signs of stress or conflict among dogs
• Provide enrichment, exercise, and basic training during play sessions
• Clean play areas, kennels, and equipment routinely throughout shifts
• Record and report incidents, health issues, and behavioral notes
• Assist in feeding, administering medication, and transitioning dogs between activities
• Deliver excellent customer service to pet owners
