• Feeding dogs
• General cleaning and kennel duties

• Working around dogs of different breeds, sizes and temperaments
⭐ WHAT WE EXPECT
A high level of commitment is required and expected.
Our dogs depend on us every day, so reliability and excellent timekeeping are essential. Applicants must understand that animal care is a 7-day-a-week responsibility and the dogs still need looking after regardless of weekends, bad weather or how busy the day may be.

✔️ Able to work well as part of a team
✔️ Prepared to work one weekend day every week

Previous kennel or animal-care experience would be an advantage, but a strong work ethic, reliability and commitment are extremely important to us.
🐾 If you love dogs but also understand that working with them involves a lot of cleaning, hard work and responsibility, we would love to hear from you.
To apply, please send us a email to [email protected] telling us a little about yourself, your previous work experience and why you would like the position.
