Work with people who love dogs as much as you do.
Dogwood Lodge isn't your average workplace. It's fast, physical, deeply rewarding, and never boring. If you love animals and want a job that actually means something — read on.
This job is not for everyone.
And that's okay.
Working at Dogwood Lodge is one of the most rewarding jobs you'll find — and one of the most demanding. You're responsible for other people's dogs. Their safety, their wellbeing, their happiness. That's a big deal, and we treat it that way.
It's fast-paced. You'll be on your feet all day. Some days are chaotic, some are exhausting, and some are the best days you've ever had. People who thrive here love it completely. There's rarely an in-between.
If that sounds like you — keep reading. We'd love to hear from you.
What we offer
We believe that people who look after animals deserve to be looked after too.
Starting rate well above minimum wage for a role that deserves fair compensation.
Full health and dental benefits because your wellbeing matters as much as the dogs'.

Staff discount on boarding for your own pets — so you can travel without the guilt.
Discounted access to our retail products — premium pet supplies at staff prices.
You're not pushing paper. Every day you're making a real difference to animals and the families who love them.
