The ideal candidate will have a genuine love for animals, particularly dogs, and a strong commitment to maintaining a clean, safe, and welcoming environment for pets and their owners. As a Dog Boarding Housekeeper, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the health, safety, and comfort of dogs staying at our facility. Your daily tasks will include cleaning kennels, play areas, and common spaces, as well as providing basic care and attention to the dogs.
In this role, you will be responsible for maintaining high standards of cleanliness and hygiene throughout the facility.

Previous experience in housekeeping, animal care, or a related field is preferred but not required. We are willing to train the right candidate who demonstrates enthusiasm, reliability, and a strong work ethic.
