Are you passionate about enriching dogs' lives? Do you like getting paid to exercise outdoors? Comfortable driving a cargo van of pups? Southlake CampCritterCare is looking for a Dog Handler to join our small, friendly team! CCC is a unique Doggie Playgroup that focuses on the betterment of our local pups with a complimentary pick up / drop off service.

Monday to Friday, our Drivers meet at the Bus Barn in Southlake to pick up the excited little paws for their playdates. (Caution: our pups LOVE their playgroup days and will get the Zoomies just seeing the bus!) At the playground all the pups get unloaded and are designated to particular runs based on playstyle and BFFs. Your job during playgroup is to monitor dog’s interactions, keeping them active, and encourage purely positive training techniques. It is vital to stay on high alert, focused, and react quickly to the dogs in your small group. After playgroup, the drivers drop the dogs off a their home; tired, happy, and ready for cuddles.

We have been an established business for 10+ years and still growing, learning and staying flexible. Changes happen all the time to cater to our pups' needs, so we are looking for someone who can adapt easily while rolling with the punches, has the ability to solve problems without direct supervision, and is willing to go above and beyond to care for our pups and help our company blossom.
