Camp Bow Wow Albany seeks exceptional people to provide loving care for dogs and a superior customer service for our pet parents. We are currently interviewing for a full-time or part-time position. Our full-time employees are expected to work 34-40 hours each week and be available for weekend work. Our part-time employees are expected to work between 20-24 hours a week and be available for weekend work.

The primary role of a Camp Counselor is to provide safety while supervising playgroups of up to 25 energetic dogs in an open play environment. Counselors must be attentive, focused, and quick to evaluate dog behavior in order to prevent altercations from occurring in the group. Camp Counselors don’t play with dogs, they provide a safe and clean environment for dogs to play with other dogs.

The Camp Counselor position is physically demanding and full of daily challenges and victories. In addition to providing safe play environments, Camp Counselors are also responsible for feeding, administering medications, cleaning play yards & cabins, participating in enrichment activities for the dogs, and giving baths. All while giving the pups the love and attention they deserve. If you do not like dogs and you do not like cleaning, this is not a good fit for you.

Everyone working at the Camp is expected to contribute in providing a superior customer service experience. Camp Counselors who naturally excel in customer service may find themselves in a front desk role, which is still a very active role, but even passing through the lobby on your way in or out of Camp offers opportunity to interact with a pet parent and their pup. Eye contact and a friendly smile create positive connections.
