Active Outdoor Canine Care Specialist ( Dog / Horse Experience Preferred )
$18 per hourWolf Mountain Kennel
About Us
Wolf Mountain Kennel is a premier, high-end luxury dog kennel. We specialize in elite care, offering dogs an active lifestyle filled with mountain trail hikes, swimming, and structured field play. We pride ourselves on a highly educated staff and a supportive, team-oriented work environment.
Who We Are Looking For
This is not a standard indoor kennel job. We are seeking true animal professionals—such as equestrian riders, farm hands, vet techs, or dog sports enthusiasts—who thrive in active, outdoor environments and want to build a career in animal care. If you love physical labor, changing weather, and have an innate understanding of animal behavior, you will fit right in.
Key Day-to-Day Duties
- Lead Adventure Excursions: Guide groups of dogs on rigorous mountain trail hikes, swim sessions, and high-energy field play.
- Canine Behavior Management: Apply advanced dog knowledge to monitor pack dynamics and maintain a safe, calm environment.
- Health & Wellness Tracking: Conduct daily physical wellness checks, log behaviors, and administer medications accurately.
- Elite Facility Care: Maintain pristine hygiene standards for guest suites, play fields, and common areas.
- Client Communication: Provide high-end customer service, including detailed daily updates for luxury clientele.
Physical Requirements
- Extreme Endurance: Ability to hike 5–10 miles per day on uneven, steep terrain while safely handling multiple dogs.
- Strength & Agility: Routinely lift, move, or restrain dogs weighing up to 100 lbs.
- Weather Resilience: Comfort working outside for 6–8 hours a day in all weather conditions (rain, snow, heat, mud).
- Constant Movement: Ability to spend the entire shift standing, walking, bending, crouching, and lifting.
Preferred Qualifications
- Minimum 1–2 years of professional or serious amateur experience handling animals (e.g., horse grooming/training, farm work, vet clinic, dog training, or shelter care).
- Deep natural instinct for animal body language and behavior.
- Strong work ethic with a track record of reliability and long-term commitment.
Perks & Long-Term Incentives
- Competitive Base Pay: $18 – $20/hr based on experience starting, plus client tips. 90 day performance raise.
- Retention Milestones: Cash bonuses awarded at 6 months ($500) and 1 year ($1,000) of continuous employment.
- Gear Allowance: Annual stipend for high-quality hiking boots and weather-appropriate outdoor apparel.
- Professional Growth: Advanced Dog Train the Trainer.
Years Experience: 1 - 3 years
Salary: $18 - $20 Hourly
Bonus/Commission: Yes
