Pet Care Manager - Needed to manage a team in an ever-changing environment
We are looking for an experienced manager to lead the Pet Care team at Skiptown. A successful pet care manager at Skiptown is someone who loves making an impact and adds value always, while ensuring that our dogs receive the highest standard of care (you’ll know by the tail wags!) You’ll be working closely with our pet care team and you love proactively fixing problems and finding solutions. You thrive in an environment where uncertainty is the norm. Ultimately, you have a passion for pups and you’re great at organizing and managing our team of Skippers.
What you’ll do:
- Manage our well-trained Pet Care Team to provide quality care for the dogs at Skiptown
- Provide onsite team members support and help solve problems
- Ensure pet care processes are followed and executed well
- Create more efficient processes to support pet services and help us learn and grow
- Identify operational issues and opportunities for improvement
- Ensure compliance with petcare laws and regulations
- Ensure efficient and effective use of pet care staff resources
- Resolve escalated issues and serve as first point of contact for urgent situations
- Make emergency veterinary decisions
- Track key pet services metrics to hit our targets
Why is working at Skiptown so great?!
- Our Skiptown culture is fun and friendly. We may not be Olive Garden, but it is true that when you’re here, you’re family.
- We never compromise safety - for you or the pups. All daycare dogs are required to complete a compatibility session to determine which of the 12 play groups they are best fit for based on their age, size, and play style. This not only sets up our doggos for success in having fun while they’re with us, but makes it a better experience when you’re caring for them, as well!
- It’s never a boring day at Skiptown! Maybe this is a given, but when you’re hanging out with dogs every day, there is certainly never a dull moment and each one is filled with adventures and fun.
- A modern approach to pet care! We provide a comprehensive app that gives you all the info you need in the palm of your hand including playgroup info, pet personalities, and facility & boarding schedules to make it easier for you to care for our pups well.

- Free Skiptown membership to the bar & park for your eligible dog(s)
