Following individual care instructions and established procedures

Maintaining accurate care records as required

Working closely with the rest of the team to ensure every guest receives consistent, high-quality care

Assisting with the general day-to-day operation of the Hotel

We offer:

A supportive, family-owned working environment

Competitive casual wages

Ongoing training and development

The opportunity to develop your animal-care knowledge and skills

A hands-on role where you get to know our regular guests and become part of their extended Yandina Hound family

About Yandina Hound Hotel Yandina Hound Hotel is a family-owned boarding facility on the Sunshine Coast.

Our philosophy is simple:

“If this was my own dog, what would I want for them today?”

Our guests stay in private rooms with their own courtyards and receive individual walks, play, enrichment, attention and care from our team.

We want families to be able to go away with peace of mind, knowing their best friend is safe, loved and enjoying a holiday of their own.

If this sounds like the kind of animal-care workplace you'd be proud to be part of, we'd love to hear from you.
