Employment Philosophy:
Our customers trust us. We value the trust they place in us to enter their home and take the responsibility to care for their pets.  They trust us to put their pets' best interest first.  We take their pets comfort level very seriously.  Knowing who will be in their home is peace of mind for the client, and the pets enjoy seeing their same two or three favorite friends every time.  

In order to achieve that bond and trusted relationship, we hire people who understand and are able to be committed and dedicated.  We only hire those who are seeking a PERMANENT position; someone who is looking for a long term relationship with an employer, a client, and many furry, slobbery, best friends.  

We are not an average company.  This is not an average job.  We are not looking for average people.    

Employment Requirements:
We look for those who have professional experience and have worked in one or more of the following environments: vet office, animal shelter, grooming shop, pet store, dog daycare or boarding facility or have pet sat for friends and family on a regular basis. We also love those who are not just "animal people", but "people people"  too.
