Interested in working at Town Dog? We seek passionate, dog-loving individuals to join our team as a Dog Daycare Attendant on a part-time basis. Our dog daycare attendants are the heart and soul of Town Dog. We are a team of 24 strong, dog loving individuals who pride ourselves in working together to provide the very best in animal care.

No experience? No worries! Extensive training is provided with opportunities for advancement.

It is a perfect position for anyone looking to build a career in the animal career field such as dog training, grooming, animal control or a veterinary technician. This is also a great part-time position for commuter college students in the local area.
Starting wage is $16 per hour. Town Dog will consider a higher starting wage for candidates who come with experience. All candidates will go through a two week training period to learn the layout of our shifts and how to properly manage and interact with the dogs in our care. Following our training, staff enjoy hourly wage advances after milestones are reached.
