Most days I come in at 7:00am and clean the runs or sometimes I'll be outside at this time watching the dogs that stayed overnight with us. With cleaning this consists of bed sanitizer on the beds, then sweeping the runs, followed by bleach water mixed with Fabuloso for a better smell. When this is all done we let the dogs in from outside and feed them. Next is meds. Around 9:00am we let out for AM playtime until about 12:00 in the afternoon. While the pups are out in the yard playing we are picking up poop to put in the poop buckets, tossing balls for pups that like to play, conducting evaluations, and correcting pups for bad behavior to ensure a safe and clean yard. Cleaning is followed by for the next hour. This could consist of changing out the poop buckets, cleaning playrooms, sweeping debris, or cleaning water buckets used in the yard. I have desk shifts as well, one day a week from 7:00am until 6:00pm. These days are filled with checking dogs in and out of our facilities whether they are here for daycare, grooming, or boarding. At the desk we answer phones, emails, and deal with money by cash, check or card. We make sure to get feeding entered into our system properly along with medications. I have been given about 4 raises while being with this company in the last year of being here.
