Position Details:
- You must be able to accomplish tasks throughout your shift without needing someone to tell you the next task, you will have a list of tasks to follow. We don't want to micromanage you, because no one likes that. =)

- Great with Dogs and People. You need to feel comfortable telling dogs no because you can't love a dog into listening to everything you say (also, they don't speak English lol). Our clients are generally very friendly and happy people, that is because our teams are also very friendly and happy people too. You must be outgoing.
