About the Job
DOGGY DAYCARE ATTENDANT / WALKER
Wag Club, a first-class doggy daycare offering daycare, overnight boarding, grooming, training, and walking services, is looking for a hardworking, reliable, and animal-loving Doggy Daycare Attendant/Walker to join our team!
We’re located in a beautiful waterfront setting near Downtown Brooklyn, surrounded by a fun and professional group of dog and cat lovers. We take our jobs seriously — but we definitely know when to have fun!
THE POSITION
Our Doggy Daycare Attendants are responsible for creating a safe, fun, clean, and nurturing environment for our canine guests.
This is an active, hands-on position. You’ll spend your day interacting with dogs, supervising play, walking dogs, keeping their environment clean, and making sure every dog gets the care and attention they need.
Responsibilities include:
- Supervising groups of dogs during daycare.
- Monitoring dog behavior and making sure play remains safe and appropriate.
- Understanding different dog personalities, energy levels, breeds, and temperaments.
- Providing dogs with the appropriate balance of exercise, socialization, and rest.
- Walking dogs individually and/or in groups.
- Feeding and caring for dogs according to their individual needs.
- Giving medications or special care when required.
- Maintaining a clean, organized, and sanitary daycare environment.
- Cleaning up after dogs — a LOT!
- Helping with pick-ups, drop-offs, and other daily daycare responsibilities.
- Working closely with the rest of the Wag Club team.
- Jumping in wherever needed to make sure our dogs and clients receive excellent care.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:
At least ONE YEAR of professional experience working with animals is REQUIRED.
Please do not apply if you have zero professional animal-care experience.
The ideal candidate is:
- Reliable, punctual, and responsible.
- Comfortable handling dogs of different sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments.
- Knowledgeable about basic dog behavior and body language.
- Patient, observant, and calm under pressure.
- Energetic and physically capable of being on your feet for extended periods.
- Comfortable walking multiple dogs.
- A strong team player who is willing to jump in and help wherever needed.
- Able to work in a fast-paced environment.
- A clean freak! We love our dogs, but they can be messy. Keeping the daycare clean and sanitary is a major part of the job, so you need to be willing to roll up your sleeves and get dirty.
- And most importantly... YOU MUST LOVE DOGS!
SCHEDULE & COMPENSATION:
- Part-time positions currently available.
- Schedules can be flexible depending on availability and our staffing needs.
- $17–$20/hour, depending on experience, plus tips and additional commission opportunities.
- 401(k) available.
- Grooming is closed on all major holidays.
