Location: Victoria, BC
Pay: $21 – $25 per hour (depending on experience)
Job Type: Casual, On-Call, Intermittent
About the Role Are you a dog lover looking for a fun, active way to earn extra income without committing to a rigid weekly schedule? We are looking for Casual Dog Daycare Attendants to join our on-call relief pool!
This is a strictly casual, intermittent position. We experience sudden "surges" in dog attendance, holidays, and staff vacations. Some weeks we might have 10 to 15 hours available for you; other weeks we may have 0 hours. This role is a two-way street: we offer ultimate scheduling flexibility with zero pressure, and we never penalize you if you say no to a shift.
Who This Job is Perfect For
- Students looking for active shifts around classes or exam schedules.
- Semi-retirees who want to stay moving and hang out with dogs.
- Freelancers/Gig workers looking for extra cash and a change of scenery.
- Anyone who loves dogs, wants bonus income, and does not rely on this job for primary rent/bill money.
What You’ll Do
- Manage the Pack: Monitor dog play groups safely, recognizing and managing canine body language.
- Keep it Clean: Constant cleaning, sanitizing play areas, wiping up messes, and vacuuming fur.
- Provide Love & Safety: Ensure every dog feels secure, happy, and well-cared for during their stay.
What We’re Looking For
- Animal Savvy: Previous experience handling dogs (canine first aid, pet sitting, or volunteering is a major asset).
- Physical Stamina: Ability to stand/walk for up to 5-8 hours and lift up to 50 lbs.
- Quick Response: Reliable communication via text when short-notice shifts pop up.
- Background Check: Ability to pass a standard Police Information Check. (Please note: This is required only after a conditional job offer is made, and we will fully reimburse you for the cost of the check).
Perks
- Bring Your Dog to Work: Free daycare for your own dog during your shifts (pending a successful dog assessment).
- Overnight Boarding Discount: Enjoy 50% off overnight boarding for your own dog when you travel or need coverage.
- Ultimate Flexibility: Pick up shifts only when they work for your lifestyle.
- Paid Background Check: Zero out-of-pocket costs for your onboarding screening.
