Kennel Assistant

West Street Dog is the first off-leash dog park, full-service bar, dog daycare, and pet boarding facility in Raleigh, NC! This is a new and unique business with opportunities for growth.

We are looking for reliable and dedicated candidates with strong communication skills. Our ideal candidate is a person who is a hard-worker, someone who is passionate about caring for animals, and who can be depended on by the team.

We are looking for people that are interested in leadership roles, as there is room for growth within our business for those who meet and exceed expectations.

Previous experience working with dogs in a daycare setting is strongly preferred, but we are happy to train the right candidate on dog body language and behavior if they do not have professional experience with animals.

Main job duties include, but are not limited to:

- Feeding and medicating our four-legged guests (dog and cats).

- Daily cleaning of our boarding kennel and play areas to maintain a sanitary environment for dogs and people.

- Grooming services such as bathing and giving nail trims to dogs.

- Taking cute photos of all of the pets in house.

- Using our online system to keep records and make reservations.
