JOIN THE TEAM

We’re Hiring!

From Trails & Tails to True North K9, the goal of our adventure hikes remains the same: to promote physical exercise and mental enrichment for city dogs, while also making sure every dog parent feels that their pup is well cared for. We are looking for a pack leader who is outgoing, trustworthy, passionate about dogs, and is willing to learn the nuances of dog behavior to maintain safe pack dynamics.

This role is perfect for someone who is active and wants to make some incredible four legged best friends. It is year round, and requires you to work even when it’s not so pretty out. This position is fast paced and requires efficiency, independence, and time management skills. Consistent attendance and punctuality are crucial to maintain routine for our dogs.

Employees are paid per dog. Part time and full time positions are available - scheduling may be flexible, reach out to discuss details.
