We’re looking for a reliable Dog Handler with practical animal-care experience to join our small team. Our clients trust us with dogs who are part of their families, so we’re looking for someone who takes that responsibility seriously and wants to build lasting relationships with the dogs, clients and team.
About the role
You'll drive between pick-ups and drop-offs, supervise group walks, monitor the dogs' behaviour and interactions, and follow each dog's individual care instructions. You'll need to manage groups of four dogs on your own. On some walks, you'll work alongside another handler with up to eight dogs in the group altogether. Training in our dogs, routes and procedures will be provided before you work independently.
