what sets us apart
When you join our crew, you’re stepping into a structured, team-based care model serving the Sauk Prairie, WI area.
Relationships matter to us. Our team members are W-2 employees, not random gig workers. That means you’ll have real support from an established team and the chance to build genuine connections with the same clients over time. Every visit follows clear standards, and we keep detailed notes on each pup’s routine, preferences and personality so care stays consistent, no matter who’s on shift.
And most importantly, we’re here to make life better for every canine client and their human(s) (while having a doggone good time doing it)!
work that feels good
perks of joining our team
built on real training
You’re set up with proper training from day one: dog body language, safe handling, Fear Free practices, emergency protocols, pet first aid/CPR and our care standards.
a supportive environment
We trust you to do your thing, with a team that’s always got your back. We’ll give you the tools and guidance you need to succeed and keep growing as a pet care pro.
loads of cuddles!
OK, let’s be honest… A huge perk of the job is spending your days with some of the sweetest pups around, with plenty of cuddle breaks and nose-boops.

-
You support your teammates and celebrate their wins, because when the team succeeds, you succeed too.

-
You prefer a fixed weekly schedule and knowing exactly what to expect each shift.
