At Yardstick, we've defined dog hospitality.
We're a boutique, suites-only dog hotel built around personalized care, elevated service, and a calmer, more thoughtful experience for both dogs and their humans. As we continue expanding across Dallas, we're looking for an experienced General Manager to help open and lead our newest location in Preston Valley.
We're looking for a hands-on leader who's excited by growth, enjoys building strong teams, and wants to make a meaningful impact as Yardstick continues to expand.

Hire, train, and develop a team of approximately 12 full- and part-time employees
Create a strong team culture centered around hospitality, accountability, and care
Own scheduling, labor management, and daily operations
Deliver exceptional customer and guest experiences
Maintain a safe, clean, organized, and well-run facility
Oversee inventory, supply ordering, and facility upkeep
Build relationships within the Dallas community through outreach and local partnerships
Work closely with leadership on operational improvements and company growth initiatives
What We're Looking For
5+ years of leadership or people management experience
Strong operational and organizational skills
Excellent communication and customer service abilities
High integrity, reliability, and accountability
Comfortable in a hands-on, fast-paced environment
Excited by growth and motivated by ownership and responsibility
Pet industry experience is a plus, but not required
Availability to work nights, weekends, and holidays as needed (we're open 365 days a year)
