Go above and beyond for the pets in our care and for our co-workers- we always do what’s right.
Give and receive feedback from each other- we help each other learn and improve in a positive and kind way!

Dogs, dogs, dogs- we have up to 100 dogs per day!
Our relationship with our clients- we are like a big family!
Rewarding star employees and hard workers- awesome performance = awesome paychecks
Think you’re an A+ team member?

If your answer is YES, here is what we require from you:

Things YOU ARE:

Caring, kind, and nurturing- these dogs are our clients’ BABIES!
Positive and patient- dogs are excitable and energetic and require LOTS of patience!
Detail oriented- can you remember 100 dog’s names on any given day?
Team player, who can also work solo- sometimes you’re tag teaming a cleaning project, sometimes you’re watching 15 pups in your own playroom!
Honest and open communicator- we all make mistakes and learn from them!
Punctual & consistent - never late to work- we respect each other and our clients' time!
Eager to learn about dog behavior, health, and individual personalities- want to learn about social cues, body language, and more? We’ve got training!

Getting covered in dog hair and slobbery dog kisses- you will need a shower at the end of the day.
Supporting your team and pulling your weight- we build each other up and pass the love around!
Being proud of your work- nothing better than getting a great review from a client that mentions your name!

Things that YOU DON’T LOVE:

Drama, gossip, or complaining- you know that none of these has a place at DDA!
Seeing a dog ignored, bored, sad, or lonely- it’s your job to love and entertain the pups!
Having a job “just to make money”- this isn’t just a job - it’s a commitment and an investment.
Doing the bare minimum -you are a rock star that wants to produce A+ work!
