Driver: Dog Chauffer (Full-Time / M-F)

Modern Mutts is looking for a full-time driver to use our company minivans to transport dogs for our dog daycare program. You will drive to our client's homes, follow instructions to go inside and get the dog, leash them and load them into a van to bring them to the dog park for daycare in groups. You will also drop dogs back off at their home after daycare. You will interact with some customers in their home, so it's important to look presentable, have strong customer service and professional communication skills.

Candidates do not need to use their own car, we provide a vehicle to use while working.

Candidates must have a clean driving record and at least 6 years of having a valid driver's license.

Experience with dogs, proper dog handling skills, and basic knowledge of dog behavior is preferred, but not required. Candidates must be comfortable around dogs and physically able to handle dogs of all sizes.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to: driving safely while transporting precious cargo, following a driving route in an efficient and timely manner, following instructions to access client's homes to retrieve the dogs (some interaction with customers is required), loading and unloading leashed dogs from the van, walking dogs on leash to and from the park from the van, toweling off dogs if they get dirty before being transported home.

This job includes handling and engaging with dogs regularly, so candidates with dog handling experience will be given priority consideration. Daycare is held rain or shine year-round, sometimes closing or adjusting services when the weather is prohibitively bad. Having good outerwear is encouraged and can be provided if needed to stay warm and dry while outside.

Hours
Monday – Friday from 8:30am – 4:30pm.
