You have a completed training as an Animal Caretaker EFZ and feel comfortable dealing with different dog breeds and characters.

Even more important to us is how you work.

We are looking for someone who is reliable and punctual, takes responsibility and sees and completes tasks.

You should be physically resilient and remain calm and confident even when several dogs require your attention at the same time.

A respectful, clear and loving approach to dogs is a matter of course for us. At the same time, you should understand that working in a dog day care centre is not just about cuddling and walks: cleanliness, order and responsibility are just as important.

What awaits you with us

With us, you get a workplace where everything really revolves around dogs. In addition to our dog day care centre, dog training, behavioural counselling and other dog-related services are part of our competence centre.

You can expect varied working days, lots of time outdoors, different dog characters and the opportunity to apply and further develop your expertise practically every day.

Want more? Shape your position with us

The advertised position in our dog day care centre comprises a workload of 60–80%.

Would you like to work 100%? That is also possible with us – and here your creativity is required!

We are open to expanding your workload with additional dog-related tasks up to 100%. Depending on your strengths, experience and interests, you can get involved, for example, in our dog school, in puppy and young dog classes or in other suitable offers.

Do you have your own ideas for courses or offers that fit our Dog Competence Centre? All the better. We welcome people who not only work with us but also think along and want to contribute their own skills and ideas.
