Collectively, our staff contributes over 50 years of dog management experience. Our staff manages dogs from all backgrounds, breed types, personalities and age groups and will always put what's in the best interest of the dogs we care for ahead of our clients needs. Employees of The Mutt Hutt have an enormous amount of pride in choosing to work as a tight-knit team for a lifestyle company. Working with individuals devoted to dogs while managing a life-work balance around our other passions and creative outlets outside of our work. Our focus will always remain on the dogs, not revenue, with the understanding this business model is certainly not typical for the industry. The Mutt Hutt has racked up many awards and we have pride offering our clients and their dogs top notch care and service. We are and have always been committed to the cleanliness of our facility and our guests’ care and happiness.
If you are interested in being a part of a team leading and providing a great experience for the best dogs in Cleveland then we encourage you to complete and submit the online employment application. Rarely do we advertise positions as we prefer word of mouth referrals and interested parties who have a genuine interest in working with dogs (and great people) to express this by applying. Whether you have no experience in the industry, a love for dogs or background enjoying the company of dogs we want to hear from you! Training new hires is an extensive process but necessary to learn the skills of leading, rewarding and correcting a large pack of dogs while maintaining the company goal of offering the dogs (and the staff) a quiet, controlled environment. We will respond by email and/or a phone call to those we are interested in discussing job opportunities with. Applications are reviewed and kept on file for six months.
