Job description

Paws Playland ABQ dog daycare in the North East side of Albuquerque is looking for a helper who is reliable and willing to work various days and times.

What we are looking for:

• Experience with dogs, groups of dogs, handling dogs of all types, shapes and sizes.
• Experience working at a kennel or dog daycare would be preferable, but we can train the right person.
• Need someone who is proactive and not afraid to jump in to help out and get the jobs done such as, pick up poop, make sure the dogs are not playing too rough, cleaning, etc.
• This type of work can be stressful if you are not used to large groups of dogs running around, so you have to be confident that you can handle the pack.
• Need someone who is flexible with their schedule, but most of all reliable.

This is not a "sit around and pet the dogs" type of job. Dogs will jump on you, slobber on you, get you wet from water bowels and pools, run into you when they are playing and not looking, you have to keep an eye out at all times that you don't get knocked down.
