P/T Pet Activity Coordinator

Tails & Trails Country Pet Resort is seeking an additional part time employee to join us! We are a small team that get to enjoy the company of dogs (and a few cats) everyday. This is a great opportunity for a career in the animal industry!

We have 1 part-time position available Thursday-Saturday.

If you love dogs, enjoy spending time outside and cleaning (okay maybe this part isn’t quite as much fun, but the cuddles make up for it!) we’d love to chat!

You must be comfortable supervising dogs during group play sessions. A general knowledge of dog behaviour and handling techniques is an asset, but training is made available.

We are looking for self motivated individuals with the ability to work independently to complete tasks within specified time frames.

The shifts are:

Thursday: 7am-3:30pm

Friday: 7am-3:30pm

Saturday: 7am-6pm

All employees are expected to work various holidays throughout the year (this includes Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and all other statutory holidays).

Car is a must as there is no public transportation.

No in person resume drop off please. Apply through online ad, only.
