Impactful work that loves you back

To make it work at Lucky & Lady®, we need the very best, most understanding and most tolerant team members.

Here, you’ll provide love for pets in our Enhanced Day Care program, in Beyond Boarding, in our Grooming Spa, in our Self Wash, or in our lobby. Lucky and Lady® offers shifts throughout the early morning, day, evening and overnight hours – all the times our community’s pets need love and affection. As a member of the team, you may be cross-trained in other areas.

At Lucky & Lady® we welcome team members who anticipate and solve problems before they arise. We will never lower our expectations on nurturing pets in our care and we will never compromise on the pet parent experience. Once hired, employees must acknowledge the terms and conditions of the Lucky & Lady® Employee Handbook and any additional rules and procedures as they arise.
