Assistant Dog Care Worker – Casual | Barc for Pets, Northern Beaches For ten years, Barc for Pets has cared for the dogs of Northern Beaches families as though they were our own. We're a relationship-based, award-winning dog care business — not a facility. Our dogs spend their days outdoors, on adventure walks and in homes, with people who know them as individuals: their energy, their routines, their quirks and what makes them happy.

We don't operate from a fixed location. Our daycare and dog walking run at outdoor locations across the Northern Beaches, so each day starts with coordinating meet-up spots with our team. We're looking for an Assistant Dog Care Worker to support our full time team in this.

What you'll be doing
Supporting our outdoor daycare and dog walking schedule at locations across the Northern Beaches, usually in 2–3 hour shifts
Coordinating daily with the team on meet-up spots, pick-ups and drop-offs
Helping manage each dog's energy, time and space, with enrichment matched to the right dogs
Keeping to each dog's diet, medication and sleep routine
Ideally, overnight care — either hosting daycare dogs in your family home, or staying in a client's home to care for their dog there

What you'll need




A current driver's licence and your own reliable car
Transparent, reliable communication and professional phone etiquette — you'll be in regular contact with our team and, at times, our clients
Genuine flexibility across days, times, locations and types of care
A calm, reliable presence and real love for dogs of all breeds, shapes and sizes
A willingness to learn — you'll be mentored in ethical, positive reinforcement handling, so experience is welcome but your attitude matters most

Why Barc
Ten years of trust with long-term families across the Northern Beaches
Multiple Australian Small Business Champion Awards
Hands-on mentoring from an experienced team with a transparent care philosophy
Work that's genuinely outdoors, active and meaningful

Our clients trust us with a member of their family, and we're looking for someone whose work reflects that same standard of care and our philosophy.
