Job description

The Maddie Ranch by Pack Leader Dogs was founded 11 years ago to tackle the most frustrating challenge that dog owners face: how to achieve a happy, well-behaved dog and where to find premium dog care provided by people who truly understand dogs. We’re providing the next generation of dog care solutions that are built on the foundation of Dog Psychology. We've rethought the dog care paradigm as innovative leaders in our space and are looking for the right people to join us as we scale.

We’re extraordinarily proud of the organization we’ve built (not to mention humbled to be recognized as the only Cesar Millan Certified Trainer in the area), but we couldn’t have done it without our people. Our people are Pack Leader Dogs’ biggest competitive advantage, and we’ll continue investing in our partners and people-first culture.

The Challenge As Maddie Ranch by Pack Leader Dogs continues to grow, we need a Dog Care Professional to join our growing team. We're lucky to have a beautiful 8-acre ranch with top-tier services for our high-priority clients, and we need to continue to set the standard for the Dog Care industry by providing highly skilled and motivated Dog Care Professionals. You'll help our team with Adventure Camp and potentially Dog Training Services (if interested) as we continue to add clients to our roster!

The Opportunity We are looking for someone with great energy who is motivated to be part of our Pet Care Services who is experienced in teamwork (pack work as we like to call it) and is passionate about learning, growing and of course, dogs! Don’t be mistaken, this is a challenging career path, but also highly rewarding with high-income potential. We have many growth options including but not limited to management and dog training. Are you up for the challenge? If so, stop reading and start applying!

The Team Join a scaling and tight-knit team on a mission to change the dog industry! Our team members come from various backgrounds, but one thing unites them all- their love for our clients and how The Maddie Ranch is transforming the world of dog care! We are always in growth mode here at The Maddie Ranch as individuals and as a team. We are focused on being positive and believe we can accomplish anything we set our minds to.

1. Candidate must have experience working with dogs.
2. Candidate must possess skills in dog handling and be physically capable of providing exercise for dogs.

5. Dog care facility experience preferred.
6. Ability to bike and/or rollerblade dogs is preferred.
