Crate Escape Belmont, a family owned company, is looking to hire motivated individuals who are passionate about working with dogs!
Must be 18+ to apply!
As an employee of Crate Escape, you will be joining a team of hard working people who are extremely committed to the care and the well being of all of our daycare dogs.
The ideal candidate will have:
- Professional experience in the pet care industry. Positions such as vet tech, dog walker and dog sitter all qualify as professional experience (just owning your own dog does not qualify).
- An eagerness to learn about dog behaviors, body language and group dynamics.
- The desire to grow within the position and take on more responsibility to train as a pen supervisor.
- Have an easy going attitude and willingness to learn.
- Self motivated and comfortable working alone as well as on a team.
- Being comfortable with all types of dogs, both large and small
- Ability to work in a loud environment, dogs do bark sometimes!
- Excellent time management skills - able to show up ready to work and on time.
- A reliable mode of transportation, whether it’s a car or access to public transportation (the MBTA stops right in front of our facility!).
You will be responsible for monitoring groups of dogs, transporting them throughout the facility, cleaning and sanitizing of the facility, and much more. You will learn about dog behaviors such as body language, appropriate play, different dog illnesses/signs to look for if a dog is sick, and proper sanitization protocols to keep both the dogs and employees safe. You will also learn the basic building blocks of dog training, so this is a great opportunity for those who want to become dog trainers!
We have recently rolled out an enrichment program for our daycare dogs, so your day will be filled with outdoor time, walks, engaging dogs in mental activities, basic training and food puzzles.
You will have support and guidance from a professional dog trainer, as well as the opportunity to bring your dog to work with you!
This is a physically demanding job that requires you to be on your feet for 8 hrs. You must be able to lift 50+lbs, work with both large and small dogs, crouch, kneel, walk for 15+ minute intervals, stand for long periods of time, and be able to happily communicate with your fellow staff members.
