Dog Daycare Handler Assistant

Everett, WA

Full Time

Entry Level

Have you completed at least 25 shifts in the past six months where you spent at least 4 continuous hours actively supervising or assisting with supervising an off-leash dog playgroup of 4 or more dogs?

If so, we'd love to hear from you.

Four-Legged Fun Zone is looking for Dog Daycare Handler Assistants who have already built a solid foundation with off-leash dogs and are ready to continue growing their skills.

If you understand canine body language, group dynamics, and safe playgroup management, we'll teach you how to confidently supervise and lead your own off-leash playgroup of 10–15 dogs.

Why You'll Love Working at Four-Legged Fun Zone

Active Group Leadership: You'll work with groups of 10–15 dogs—not 30+—giving you the opportunity to actively lead, teach, and manage behavior instead of simply keeping up with the chaos.
Predictable Schedule & Reliable Paycheck: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM. Consistent hours. No evenings, weekends, on-call shifts, or last-minute schedule changes.
Work Stays at Work: When you're off, you're off. No surprise calls asking you to come in and no work texts after hours.
Structured Playgroups: Dogs attend on consistent schedules and complete a structured introduction process before joining regular playgroups, creating safer, more stable groups for both dogs and staff.
A Place to Recharge: Enjoy a dedicated break area where you can step away from the noise and reset during your lunch.

Compensation

Base Pay: $20.00/hour

Daily Group Bonus

$2.50 per dog (12–13 dogs)
$5.00 per dog (14–15 dogs)

Typical Earnings: $23–$29/hour
