We spend more time at work than with our families — so choose your work-family wisely. At The Dog Stop Plano, you'll spend your days with dogs (and get to bring your own!), on a team that's trained properly and never thrown in over their heads.

Is this you?
You genuinely love dogs — not just in theory, but you're comfortable with the mess, the noise, and the occasional chaos of a room full of them. You're calm under pressure, observant, and want to actually learn how dogs communicate rather than just liking that they're cute. You don't mind being on your feet all day, walking constantly, and working outside in Texas weather. You're reliable — we're counting on you to show up, especially since weekends are a regular part of this role.
