Not Your Traditional Dog Daycare Job

This is NOT a traditional dog daycare.

At The Fetch Club, we provide canine enrichment daycare, designed for dogs to live a fulfilled, healthy life through structured activities, movement, and engagement. If you’re excited about a new way of working with dogs, you’ll thrive here.

What to Expect:

  • This job is mainly outdoors, in all weather. If you don’t love working outside year-round, this isn’t for you.
  • You will get dirty—this is an active, fast paced, hands-on role.
  • No prior dog experience required—just a strong sense of accountability and a willingness to learn.

  • Loves being outside, moving all day, and working hands-on with dogs.
  • Takes initiative and works well in a team-focused environment.
  • Reliable and punctual—our schedules are non-negotiable.
  • Wants to build strong relationships with dogs and their humans.

What You’ll Do:

  • Lead dogs through our canine enrichment program, designed to provide mental, physical, and emotional stimulation.
  • Supervise off-leash group play—not as a referee, but as an active participant.
  • Use of positive reinforcement methods to shape the desired behaviors we want to see in group.
  • Keep the facility clean and well-maintained, both indoors and outdoors.
  • Engage with pet parents who trust us with their dogs’ well-being.

What You Need:

  • A true passion for dogs and a commitment to their well-being.
  • Ability to work outdoors in all weather, on your feet all day, and lift 50 lbs.
  • Strong team player with clear communication skills.
  • Dependable, patient, and proactive.
  • Available to work mornings, mid-days, nights, and some holidays.
  • Willing to obtain CPR/First Aid certification if not already certified.
