Join the Gentle Dog Co. team
More than a job. A chance to make dogs' lives better.
If you've ever wished you could work with dogs without using fear, force or intimidation, you've found the right place.
At The Gentle Dog Co., we believe every interaction is a training opportunity. Whether we're walking a dog, pet sitting, introducing a puppy to the world or helping a nervous dog build confidence, we are always teaching with kindness, patience and positive reinforcement.
We don't just care for dogs. We help them thrive.
If that sounds like the kind of work that inspires you, we'd love to hear from you.
