At Bark & Biscuit, we aren’t just a dog training, boarding, and daycare facility—we’re a close-knit pack driven by passion, purpose, and a commitment to helping dogs thrive in a safe and enriching environment. Whether it’s through training, structured socialization, or enrichment activities, we’re dedicated to providing the highest level of care to every four-legged friend who enters our doors.

What You’ll Do

  • Provide attentive, compassionate care to dogs in our boarding and daycare facility, ensuring their comfort, safety, and well-being at all times.
  • Maintain a clean and sanitary environment by following strict cleaning and hygiene protocols (yes, that includes picking up poop—but it’s all part of the adventure!).
  • Socialize dogs in small, structured social groups in alignment with our training-based methods.
  • Monitor and assess dog health & behavior to support a harmonious and safe environment for all.
  • Assist with enrichment activities and training tasks, with opportunities to grow your skills and responsibilities over time.
  • Collaborate with your teammates to create a positive and supportive work atmosphere.

What Makes You a Great Fit

  • A genuine love for dogs and a passion for their well-being.
  • Attention to detail, reliability, and a positive attitude.
  • You’re a team player who thrives in a collaborative environment.
  • No prior experience is required—just the willingness to learn and grow with us.

Why You’ll Love Working With Us

  • Opportunities for Growth: At Bark & Biscuit, we believe in investing in our team. As you gain experience, you’ll have opportunities to grow into roles like Kennel Technician or even transition to front desk or training-based positions.
  • A Training-Based Environment: Every activity here is rooted in enrichment and training, giving you the chance to learn valuable skills to support our furry clients.
  • A Unique Work Environment: Our facility features outdoor dog social groups, creating a dynamic and engaging setting for both dogs and team members.

  • Paid Time Off (PTO) after one year.
  • Ongoing education and training opportunities to help you succeed.

What to Expect

This job is fast-paced, physically demanding, and full of challenges—but it’s also incredibly rewarding. If you’re ready to embrace the chaos, dive into the mess, and be part of a team that’s making a real difference in the lives of dogs and their owners, this is your opportunity!
