Overnight Kennel Attendant / Dog Boarding Care
About The Position
Overnight animal care requires a particular kind of person. Someone who understands that a dog behaving differently at 2:00 AM may be telling you something. Someone who knows that feeding and medication instructions need to be followed exactly. Someone who doesn't walk past something that needs cleaning because the morning crew will be there soon. And someone who can be trusted to do the job properly even when a manager isn't standing in the room. The Wags Club is an established cage-free dog daycare and boarding facility serving Santa Monica and West Los Angeles, and we're hiring Overnight Dog Care Attendants. Our clients go home at night trusting that their dogs will continue receiving attentive care. You'll be one of the people responsible for keeping that promise.
