We're looking for an experienced and reliable Casual Dog Boarding Attendant to join our small, supportive team. This is not a job where you'll spend all day cuddling puppies. It's a physically demanding, fast-paced role caring for dogs to an exceptionally high standard.

Your duties will include:
• Handling dogs of all breeds and sizes safely and confidently
• Supervising one-on-one exercise sessions

• Feeding dogs and administering medications (training provided where required)
• Monitoring health and behaviour
• Providing outstanding care and attention to every guest
About you
This role would suit someone who:
• Has previous experience working in a boarding kennel, dog daycare, veterinary clinic, animal shelter or similar animal care environment
• Is confident handling large and energetic dogs
• Is physically fit and capable of walking 15,000-25,000 steps during a shift
• Enjoys physical work including lifting, cleaning and being on your feet all day
• Is calm, patient and observant around animals
• Works well independently and as part of a small team
• Has excellent reliability and attention to detail
• Holds a current driver's licence and has reliable transport (essential, as public transport does not service our location)
Availability
We're looking for someone with flexible availability who can work weekdays, weekends and public holidays as required.
Immediate availability is highly desirable.
What we offer
• A supportive, friendly workplace
• Extensive hands-on dog handling experience

• Your availability
• When you could commence
Suitable applicants will be invited to complete a paid trial shift.
