Job Overview:

We are seeking a talented person to be part of our team, a person with many skills to perform roles as kennel attendant and dog handler.

The successful candidate will have

- be able to recognize and de-escalate situations before they erupt

- observational skills

- high ethics and standards for the care, well-being and maintenance of the dogs

- good communication skills

- good English language skills

- the ability to work with a team, be able to take direction and also be able to work independently (aka self-starter) without direct supervision

- must already be legally able to work in Canada.

We are a boarding kennel on 10 acres where we provide a dog daycare, overnight boarding facility, indoor dog training facility, agility fields, and parks for the dogs to run and play. You must be physically fit, be able to work outdoors in all seasons and weather, have good common sense and good reactions.

You will be involved with our customers and must be able to communicate with them and have good interpersonal skills. Communication is important between staff members in order to keep the animals safe and the facility running in a well-organized manner. Basic computer skills are required.

The job duties include, but are not limited to, keeping the dogs in a safe and clean environment, feeding, giving medication, monitor and record health details, exercising dogs, monitoring and documenting animal behaviour, cleaning inside and outside including sanitation, garbage and poop duties, checking inventory and supplies, checking the grounds and fence lines, reporting any issues.

We are just outside of the City (about 5 km from city centre) and not on a bus route. You will need your own reliable transportation to get to and from work. Our shifts are generally 8 hours a day but flexibility is necessary. Our day starts at 7:00 am and ends at 8:00 pm 7 days a week. The average week is 40 hours, based on 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. You must be available for all shifts, including evenings, weekends and statutory holidays.

Compensation starts at $18.00/hour and will increase depending on experience and job performance.

To apply, send your cover letter and CV to [email protected]. Please do not apply if you do not already have a valid work permit and have the experience described above. We will ask for, and check, all references.
