Dog Daycare Attendant (Droperator)

As a Dogdrop Droperator, your focus day-to-day will be to monitor and manage the dogs in our care in order to ensure the safety and health of the overall group and each individual dog. Part of that care will require keeping the facility clean and orderly on a daily basis.

Primary Responsibilities

never stop moving, and keep your eyes on the dogs at all times. You'll be looking for signs of increased intensity, aggression, antisocial behavior, illness, rough play, or anxiety. You must be able to stand or walk for your entire shift (except during breaks).

redirect dogs constantly, whether with your voice, treats, toys, sounds, or leads.

get to know each dog's personality, triggers, and schedule, so you can take care of them as effectively as possible.

communicate seamlessly with the rest of the team, so everyone is on the same page about each dog's behavior and needs. If you are pulled away from watching the dogs, ensure someone is in the park. Make sure the dogs are never left unattended.

ensure all dogs are safe and healthy at all times. The safety and health of the group are the priority, so if a single dog requires too much attention or care each time they attend Dogdrop, or if they seem ill, you need to let management and member care know so we can determine if that dog is putting the safety or health of the group at risk.

help evaluate new dogs to see if Dogdrop is a good fit for them.

clean up after dogs immediately, help clean the facility throughout the day, keep everything tidy and organized. Maintaining a clean and pleasant facility by following the outlined cleaning procedures/checklists for your shift.

interact with human customers in a kind, respectful, professional, and courteous way.
