LOVE DOGS AND LOVE PEOPLE? LEAD OUR EVENINGS.


Start at $19/hour, moving to $20/hour after your first 90 days, plus a bonus every time you help a new family join under enrollment at Dogtopia. Continue earning increases based on tenure and performance.


Weekday afternoons and evenings, plus rotating Saturdays.


And yes, you can bring your dog to work.


This is the role for someone who is great with people and great with dogs, and who wants the part of the job where you actually help a family decide what their dog needs.



What You'll Actually Do


You are the face of Dogtopia for every family who walks in during your shift, and you are the person the team looks to when the General Manager is not here.


You will:


       Lead the front of house during evening and weekend shifts


       Run Meet & Greets from the welcome through to helping the family choose the right plan for their dog


       Follow up with families after their visit so nobody falls through the cracks


       Answer questions about daycare, boarding and spa, and recommend what genuinely fits the dog in front of you


       Support and direct the Canine Coaches on shift


       Handle check in, check out, payments and the daily close


       Step into the playroom when the team needs you


       Keep the lobby clean, calm and welcoming



You Might Be Perfect for This Job If...


       You genuinely love dogs and enjoy talking to the people who love them


       You are comfortable recommending something and asking for the signup


       You like being the person others count on when the manager is not in the building


       You stay calm and think on your feet in a loud, fast-moving place


       You take responsibility seriously because animals and people are depending on you


       You want evenings and weekends rather than a nine to five


Customer service, retail, hospitality, veterinary or front desk experience all translate well here. No professional dog experience? We train you. Already have dog daycare experience? Even better.


You must be able to:


       Be around groups of dogs of all sizes


       Lift up to 40 pounds


       Work evenings and rotating Saturdays, and some holidays


       Be on your feet for most of a shift
