GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES:


  • Lead regular packs of dogs off leash in open space shared with the public and other professionals.

  • Communicate with clients and managers about problems, successes, and ongoing daily activities with your dogs.

  • Efficiently and safely navigate pickup and drop off driving routes and client home entry and exit instructions.
  • Help track and enable maintenance needs for a dedicated company vehicle.
THE HOURS:


Shifts typically run 67 hours, Monday through Friday, starting around 9:30 AM and ending around 4:30 PM. There are no mandatory nights, weekends, or holidays required.

Additional income opportunities include:

  • Boarding/Sitting, Extra Walks
  • Many teammates choose to take on regular extra walks before or after work to increase their weekly pay and hours but neither these nor sitting are mandatory
DURING A SHIFT YOU WILL:


  • Pick up your company vehicle in the service area
  • Use our app to read your daily schedule, routes, clients notes, etc
  • Drive house-to-house collecting dogs for your first pack
  • Take them to an off-leash location within our service area to run your adventure, with a teammate during training
  • Drop them off and repeat the route with your second pack of the day
Each group has 6 dogs youll get to know closely. Taking dogs off-leash can sound intimidating at first, but youll never be asked to do it alone until training is complete and our training is extensive, hands-on, and high quality.

FAQs:


  • Where is the office? Where do we meet in the morning? We do not have an office; you pick up your company van inside our service area to start the day and get rolling to clients houses, all of whom are regulars.
  • Will there be training? Yes, theres ample on the job training. You are not asked to drop in and learn as you go.
  • Can I negotiate a higher starting salary if I have experience? Previous experience will undoubtedly help you move faster through our levels, as theyre not confined by time but objective performance metrics.
  • Are there medical benefits? Unfortunately at our current size were unable to provide benefits, but hope to be able to in the future if we can hit growth targets.
Development


  • Shadowing & full support during training
  • Learn advanced dog handling and leadership skills
  • Ongoing opportunities for growth. The learning curve is the earning curve
  • Build a resume of responsibility, leadership, service, organization, and emotional intelligence
About the Team


  • Friendly, fun-loving team of ~13
  • Ages 2050+, great camaraderie
  • We hang out, grab drinks, and support each other
  • We are very considerate of who we bring on so that we build community
  • Youll spend lots of time with coworkers and pups in the field
