Dog Handler/ Camp Counsellor

We are looking for mature and responsible animal lovers to join our dog handling team!

We are a busy dog boarding business, with an open concept environment allowing all the dogs the opportunity to play in a "pack" setting. If you have a passion for dogs- and the confidence to guide dogs under your care- then Dogs at Camp could be a rewarding work environment for you!

We are looking to hire 2-3 new team members who have interest in working full-time hours (30-40 hours, consisting of 4-5 shifts a week) OR Part-time hours (20-30 hours, consisting of 3-4 shifts). We are open 7am-7pm, with most of the day spent in the outdoors regardless of season/ time of year. Camp operates all year round (365 days a year) which means holidays and weekends are required.

The position entails lots of cleaning, extra services (trail hikes, toy/human affection time, treat/puzzle time, bathing, etc.), health check inspections, feeding, refreshing waters and bedding, and overall pack management/supervision.

- Dog experience, both personal or professional, is an asset.
- Must be graduated from High School. Students in High School will not be considered.
- Post Secondary Education within any animal care field is an asset.
- Farm experience is an asset.
- Candidates must live within 20-35 minutes of our location, with a reliable way to get to work as we are located in a rural area. Therefore, public transit is not an option.
- Must be capable of working outdoors in all weather.
- Must be motivated in work ethic.
- Must be SUCCESSFUL at working in a team setting.
- A positive attitude is the number one priority that we consider in candidates/employees.
- Will need a sense of leadership and problem solving to guide the dogs in your care.

Applicants will be contacted via email and text with further information should their application be chosen for the next phase of the hiring process. Cover letters and professional communication will automatically increase your odds of being contacted.
