What are the responsibilities and job description for the Yard Attendant position at Camp Run-a-Mutt Point Loma?
At Camp Run-A-Mutt™ Point Loma,
it's all about the dogs...
The award-winning Camp Run-A-Mutt™ is a cage free doggie daycare and boarding facility featuring indoor and outdoor fun for canines. It is a fully supervised, clean and safe environment. Camp Run-A-Mutt™ Point Loma features over 11,900 square feet of indoor and outdoor play area for dogs to romp and exercise to their heart's content! Parents can watch their campers online as the dogs run and play in the spacious grassy area, cool off in the custom waterfall/splash pond, or under the cooling misters on a hot day. We also offer dog wash, grooming, boutique, and obedience training.
It's not just the amenities that make us unique. Camp Run-A-Mutt™ is also 100% cage-free for both daycare and overnight boarding. Dogs receive exceptional care by our well-trained, and attentive staff. Overnight Campers enjoy the extra comfort of a caring human in the same room while they snooze at night. Our goal is to ensure the safety of the dogs in our care while minimizing the stress and anxiety some dogs experience when away from home and their owners.
What we're looking for:
People who are dog passionate and hard working. While playing and cuddling with the dogs is part of the job, there is also a lot of hard work that goes into making this environment safe and fun. We are currently looking for a candidate with ample customer service experience, as well as experience with animals.
