Job description

Must Love Dogs!

We are looking to add fun, high-energy team members who want to become BFFs with dogs every day!

This job requires full devotion to the care of our Campers (dogs) and our fellow team members & pet parents. You will get to learn about canine behavior and how to ensure they interact safely in pack environments. You will be on your feet all day, monitoring them and cleaning (and cleaning and cleaning and more cleaning!) to keep everyone healthy. You will also interact with the pet parents at the Front Desk and tell them about all the cute things their dog did during the day, as well as answering phone calls, making reservations, etc.!

Think Before Applying:

• Must love dogs! If you are afraid of dogs, this is not the job for you. We do not have any breed or size restrictions.
• There is a lot of cleaning! And then recleaning! And recleaning again! We have professional cleaning procedures that help, but you will be on your feet during the entirety of your shift.
• Customer service is crucial. Our Pet Parents are just as important as our Campers. We are a big family, which makes the job extra special.
• Flexible schedules are necessary. We work very hard to accommodate school and other job schedules. We also do not put up with call-offs and team members who are not reliable. We work at Camp to care for dogs. If we do not have appropriate staffing, we cannot give them the care they need. Our shift hours are between 6am and 8pm. Our team is also expected to work on holidays.

General Duties:

• Leading a team to achieve company goals.
• Feeding, cleaning of Cabins, play areas, and common space (including break and restrooms).
• Play Yard Monitoring, Cabin, and Facility Maintenance.
• Greet and welcome all customers and campers in a friendly and professional manner.
• Assist customers with questions.
• Regularly demonstrate sincere concern for the care, attitudes, and behaviors of pets and the relationships they have with their pet parents.
• Recognize and perform specific care needs as communicated by the pet guardian and in accordance with company policy and procedures, ensuring the safety of each pet. This includes taking and writing special requirements on Camp Cards for fellow counselors' adherence and edification.
• Supervise dogs in play yards at all times.
• Dog Health Checks throughout the day and notify management/supervisors of any changes in health or appearance of the dogs in our care.
• Recognize and immediately address signs of aggression or other behavior issues.
• Ensure that morning and afternoon waste elimination, rest, and snack breaks are provided consistently.
• Know how and when to use animal restraint.
• Become fluent in animal play behavior and signs of aggression to include overall pet safety.
• Up-keep of yard areas (yes, that includes poop).
• Janitorial duties: taking out of garbage, sweeping, mopping, restocking supplies, and overall kennel cleaning maintenance.
• Additional general duties and project work as needed.
• Basic dog grooming.
• Accurate data entry.
• Keep up with basic health, vaccinations, and safety knowledge.
• Additional duties assigned to you by the general and or assistant manager.
• Your responsibilities will not only include those specifically listed above but also those that follow common sense, industry best-practices and standards, pet, Counselor client safety, implied and/or otherwise not specified in writing.

Employee Benefits:

• Counselors may bring their dogs to work during their shifts, so long as the Camper meets the required vaccination requirements and has a successful Interview Day.
• We provide your first two uniform shirts at no cost.

Requirements:

• Previous work experience with dogs is helpful but not required. We have extensive training during the onboarding process.
• Previous work experience in a Leadership role.
• Above-average computer and customer service skills.
• Must be 18 years of age or older and authorized to work in the United States.
• Must have reliable transportation.
