The Attendants will report directly to the back-end supervisor who will relay all information needed to our front-end staff, as needed.

Communication and observations skills are a must for this position. By following directions (both written and communicated) the Attendants must be able to utilize their knowledge and skills in pet care to provide the most comfortable, clean, and stimulating experience for all dogs boarding with us. Attention to detail is most important for this position.

Members of this position must know how to treat dogs as guests in our home and ensure they know the level of comfort and care that will be taken in their dog's stay with us. Daycare Attendants must know the dogs by name and make every effort to let the dogs know they are a member of our K9 family and will have an amazing time in our resort.
