Canine Campus is hiring

A lot of my current staff hired to help this summer to meet the post-COVID travel surge is going back to school soon and I am looking to hire again.  I am posting this to our clients first to see if you know anyone looking for work in the boarding/daycare business…I always prefer personal recommendations to cold call applications.  The hours I’m looking to staff and a short job description is below.  Please feel free to forward.

Thanks

Mary
