About Us:

Lucky Dog Resort is a boutique dog care facility offering enrichment-based daycare and luxury overnight boarding in a home-like setting.

We’re not a kennel—we provide a calm, structured, and personalized experience for every pup in our care.

Our enrichment daycare focuses on small group play, individualized attention, and purposeful activities designed to support each dog’s mental and physical well-being.

For overnight guests, we offer a cozy, supervised stay that feels like a second home—including human companionship overnight.

Whether for the day or the week, our goal is the same: to keep dogs safe, fulfilled, and deeply cared for—while giving their humans total peace of mind.

About the Role:

Schedule & Pay:

- Full or part-time

- $16–$18.50/hour depending on experience and responsibilities-

Day shifts are generally 8–10 hours- Overnight shifts are typically longer and include sleeping onsite with the dogs-

Why the Pay Makes Sense

We know some jobs might offer a little more per hour—but here’s what makes this one different:- You’ll be part of a tight-knit, supportive team that actually works together

- This isn’t a warehouse-style kennel—it’s a home-like setting, even when things get loud or messy

- The work is physical, fast-paced, and often chaotic—but also deeply rewarding

- Overnight shifts offer a change of pace and the chance to provide quiet, steady care. You get to sleep in bed with the pups!

- You’ll have real responsibility, real impact, and real connection—with the dogs and your team

If you’re someone who shows up, cares, and thrives in a busy environment where no two days are the same, this could be the perfect fit.
