Shift Manager

Must Love Dogs!

We are looking to add fun, high-energy team members who want to become BFFs with dogs every day!

This job requires full devotion to the care of our Campers (dogs) and our fellow team members & pet parents. You will get to learn about canine behavior and how to ensure they interact safely in pack environments. You will be on your feet all day, monitoring them and cleaning (and cleaning and cleaning and more cleaning!) to keep everyone healthy. You will also interact with the pet parents at the Front Desk and tell them about all the cute things their dog did during the day, as well as answering phone calls, making reservations, etc!

Just a heads up… You will fall so in love with the dogs that you’ll watch them on our live cameras and think about how cute they are even on your days off!

Please ONLY apply if you are truly interested in the job, and explain why you want to work with us.

Think Before Applying:

• Must love dogs! If you are afraid of dogs, this is not the job for you. We do not have any breed or size restrictions.
• There is a lot of cleaning! And then recleaning! And recleaning again! We have professional cleaning procedures that help, but you will be on your feet during the entirety of your shift.
• Customer service is crucial. Our Pet Parents are just as important as our Campers. We are a big family, which makes the job extra special.
• Flexible schedules are necessary. We work very hard to accommodate school and other job schedules, but we do not give set schedules. Schedules fluctuate due to occupancy and other requests off. We also do not put up with call-offs and team members who are not reliable. We work at Camp to care for dogs. If we do not have appropriate staffing, we cannot give them the care they need.
