Ottawa, Canada Furry Friends Spa and Daycare Full time

Furry Friends Spa and Daycare is looking for a new part-time daycare attendant. We are looking for motivated individuals to work mostly afternoons and the occasional morning shift for blocks of 4 hours +.

We are located downtown, in Old Ottawa East, at 56 Hawthorne Avenue. Easily accessible by car, bus and bicycle.

This position consists of:

- Supervising dogs; ensuring they’re happy and safely interacting
- Properly controlling the energy and excitement level of the dogs (separating dogs into different play groups if needed)
- Cleaning up after the dogs
- Answering questions from clients, reporting how their dog did during the day
- Taking payment from clients, processing the checkouts through the computer system (Daysmart)
- Closing store at end of day, sanitizing, sweeping and mopping daycare area

You must have **adequate experience** working with dogs. Vet techs, vet assistants, dog trainers, kennel workers, groomers, bathers, dog walkers, shelter volunteers, etc. are all examples of dog experience we’re looking for.

This position requires a person with a calm disposition around dogs. Someone who walks into the daycare area relaxed, does not allow dogs to jump on them, and effectively calms the group in a short amount of time.

You need to know how to control a pack of dogs. The ideal person for this position will:

- Have excellent knowledge on dog behaviour and body language
- Know when play is escalating and needs to be interrupted
- Be comfortable preventing and potentially stopping fights
- Be professional, welcoming and polite to clients
- Follow direction well, work positively with others as well as alone
- Previous experience with DaySmart Pet (previously 123Pet) is not required but an added asset.

This position is part-time. The pay will start at minimum wage.

We appreciate and read all replies for the job, however will only be contacting those who are selected. Please note that previous experience working with dogs is a must.

Thank you

Application question(s):

- Do you have past experience working in the pet industry or handling and managing a group of dogs in a professional setting? Please elaborate. (Applicants who do not answer this prompt or do not have the qualifications will not be considered)
