Part-Time Pet Boarding Specialist

Love Animals? Want to Make a Real Impact?

Working with pets isn’t just a job – it’s a calling. At Take Five Dogcare, we believe every dog and cat deserves tailored, thoughtful care. Our team shows up every day with compassion, hustle, and heart. The work is real – but so are the rewards: wagging tails, gentle purrs, and the trust you build with each pet and client.

We’re looking for dedicated animal lovers ready to roll up their sleeves and make a difference. This isn’t just playtime (though there’s plenty of that) – you’ll be providing comfort, safety, and care to pets who rely on us 365 days a year.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Supervising walks and playgroups (yes, fun is part of the job!).


• Keeping the boarding facility clean, safe, and cozy – just as important as cuddles.
