Do you love spending time with dogs and helping them thrive in a fun, engaging environment? If the answer is yes, you might be the perfect fit for our Lead Pet Care Attendant & Daycare Monitor position!

At Klondike Kennels, you’ll spend your days surrounded by puppy eyes while overseeing off-leash daycare and playgroup sessions and making sure every dog has a safe, positive experience.
