WE'RE LOOKING FOR DOGGY DAYCARE ATTENDANTS!

We have been a well established Dog Daycare in Downtown Toronto since 2008. We have the largest private off leash outdoor space in Downtown Toronto. We provide top notch, one of a kind dog transportation.

We specialize in high energy, off leash social pack play. We are looking for a Dog Daycare pack leader who would be responsible for playing with and managing our dog pack at our Leslieville location.

Soulmutts is focused on providing the best customer service and making sure that every dog under its care has a high energy, fun time in our off leash environment. We are looking for high energy, dog loving individuals to fill the role of Dog Daycare Attendant.

As a pack leader your role and responsibilities will include:

• Playing with and supervising the dog pack in the onsite indoor/outdoor areas.
• Always maintaining a clean and safe environment for the dog packs.
• Always ensuring that the dogs are grouped responsibly according to their size, temperament and energy level.
• Performing cleaning, organization and basic maintenance tasks around the Dog Daycare as scheduled.
• Performing feedings and sometimes administering basic medications to the members of our dog pack.
• Representing Soulmutts when interacting with clients at the Dog Daycare. You will be representing all of us to our clients so this requires enthusiastic and professional customer service skills.

Position Requirements:

• A true love of dogs and experience handling dogs of ALL SIZES..
• NO FEAR of dog handling, getting dirty and engaging with a large number of off leash dogs at play.
• The ability to work alone on your own initiative, as well as a member of a team as well.

Personality Requirements:

• Maturity is a must have.
• The Ability to Handle Stress and Maintain Composure (Just Deal with it and Move On!)
• The Ability to Multi Task & Adapt to Unscheduled Events (Just Roll with It!)
• High Energy Personality & Positivity (Drama Doesn’t Work for Us or the Dogs!)
• Clear Communication Skills with Clients AND Colleagues (Speak Up & be Respectful!)
• Punctuality, Organization, Reliability (Since we work with Live Animals, we cannot work with Flakiness!)

This Position is Right For You IF:

• You have a true love for dogs and have the energy/general fitness level required to work with them.
• You enjoy interacting with both dogs and people enthusiastically – You WILL be meeting with clients and will be expected to represent our whole team/company.
• You are able to intervene and correct bad behavior on the spot. This is expected and required.
• You have patience and a calm demeanor. This is a big one. Stuff happens – we deal with it and move on. If one bad moment can ruin your whole day or if you hold onto stress this is not the job for you!
• You are able to work flexibly; taking last minute changes as they come (ie. clients showing up early / late / unscheduled, last minute bookings / additions or cancellations, etc.)

We are looking for someone who can communicate with us clearly and tell us what he/she needs to achieve success.

We encourage feedback and suggestions, and we want to create a comfortable family environment with all staff members we bring in.

We are looking to truly integrate a new person into our pack long term as we continue to expand in Toronto.
