Dogdrop is a new, fast-growing dog care start-up based in LA, building the largest network of dog daycares in the country. Our convenient locations are designed to give modern dog parents flexible access to quality dog care from a brand they know and trust.
Dogdrop is opening its first Denver location in the centrally-located and dynamic 9th & Colorado shopping area in May 2023. We are seeking a ROCK STAR Dog Attendant (aka Droperator) to oversee the dogs in our care. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of bringing a new brand to Denver and building it up from the ground level.
As a Dogdrop Droperator, your focus will be on monitoring and managing the dogs in our care, ensuring their health & safety and proper socialization between dogs. Part of the role will require cleaning up after the dogs and keeping the facility clean and orderly.

- Be able to redirect dogs constantly (with commands, treats, toys, etc)
- Help evaluate new dogs to see if Dogdrop is a good fit for them
- Be able to execute any special requests that dog parents have (feeding, administering meds, giving naps or breaks)
