Dog Caretaker

Hipooch Daycare and Boarding is seeking enthusiastic Dog Caregivers to join our home-based doggy daycare team. We're looking for passionate individuals who genuinely love dogs and want to make a difference in their daily lives while enjoying a dynamic, tail-wagging work environment.

**Position Overview**

As a Dog Caregiver at Hipooch, you'll be responsible for ensuring the safety, happiness, and well-being of our four-legged guests in our cozy home-based setting. This role combines professional pet care with the warmth and personal attention that only a home environment can provide.

**What Makes Hipooch Special**

Our home-based approach means every day is different, filled with puppy kisses, playful antics, and the rewarding feeling of providing exceptional care in a stress-free environment. We pride ourselves on maintaining a fun, dynamic, and very clean workplace where both our human team members and canine clients thrive. The flexible scheduling options allow you to balance your love for dogs with your personal life commitments.

**Key Responsibilities**

Your daily adventures will include supervising playgroups, ensuring safe socialization, providing individual attention and cuddles, preparing and serving meals according to specific dietary requirements, administering medications when needed, maintaining a very clean and sanitary environment, monitoring dog behavior and health, engaging dogs in enrichment activities and games, communicating with pet parents about their dog's day, and assisting with drop-offs and pick-ups.

**Required Skills and Qualifications**

Additional requirements include physical stamina to keep up with active dogs throughout the day, excellent observational skills and attention to detail, strong communication skills for interacting with both pet parents and team members, the ability to remain calm and decisive in unexpected situations, basic knowledge of pet first aid (certification is a plus), obsession with keeping the work environment clean at all times, and reliability and punctuality despite the flexible scheduling.

**Work Schedule and Benefits**

We offer flexible scheduling options to accommodate your lifestyle, including part-time morning, afternoon, or full-day shifts. Weekend availability preferred but not mandatory. Our benefits include competitive hourly wage, flexible scheduling to support work-life balance, hands-on experience with various breeds and temperaments, ongoing training in dog behavior and care techniques, a supportive, dog-loving team environment, and of course, daily doses of puppy love and canine companionship.

The perfect addition to our team is someone who views working with dogs as a joy, not just a job. You should be patient, compassionate, and genuinely excited about creating positive experiences for every dog in our care. We value team players who can work independently when needed, maintain professional boundaries while providing affectionate care, and contribute to our positive, energetic workplace culture.

**How to Apply**

Join us at Hipooch Daycare and Boarding, where every day brings new tail wags, wet noses, and the satisfaction of providing exceptional care in a home away from home. We look forward to welcoming you to our team
