Job Description
Overview:
Every dog remembers the person who made them feel safe.
Some dogs race through the front door, ready for their next adventure. Others need a little extra reassurance when they're away from home. Either way, the experience they have depends on the people caring for them.
At Waggin' Tails Doggie Dude Ranch & Pet Lodge, our Kennel Attendants help create a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can relax, play, and enjoy their stay. From supervising group play and preparing meals to keeping accommodations spotless and comfortable, you'll play an important role in every guest's experience.
If you love animals, enjoy staying active, and take pride in helping pets feel at home, we'd love to meet you.

- Dogs that feel comfortable, cared for, and excited to come back
- Safe and engaging playtime where pets can exercise, socialize, and have fun
- Daily routines that help pets stay happy and healthy during their stay

- Peace of mind for owners who want to know their pets are in good hands
- A positive experience that keeps tails wagging from drop-off to pick-up
What We're Looking For
- A genuine love of animals
- Comfortable working with dogs of all sizes and personalities
- Ability to stand, walk, bend, lift, and stay active throughout the workday
- Reliable, team-oriented, and willing to help wherever needed
Preferred
- Previous experience in animal care, boarding, daycare, kennel, or veterinary settings
- Interest in building a career in animal care or veterinary medicine
Schedule
- Full-time
- 8-hour shifts
- Day, evening, weekend, and holiday shifts as needed
- Rotating weekends as part of the team schedule
Compensation
$16.00-$17.00 per hour, based on experience and role alignment.
Benefits
- Competitive pay
- Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance
- Free virtual mental health services for your household (ages 13+)

- Paid time off and floating holidays
- Parental leave and military leave
- Employee Assistance Program
