The Pet Sanctuary is looking for caring, reliable Dog Hosts to join our new pet resort in Dubai. Our purpose built facility offers daycare, boarding, grooming and hydrotherapy, alongside a linked veterinary hospital.

As a Host, you’ll look after our canine guests throughout their stay, helping them feel safe, comfortable and settled. This is an active, hands on role that requires patience, attention to detail and a commitment to animal welfare.

Your responsibilities

  • Supervise dogs during group play, rest periods and individual activities.
  • Monitor body language and group dynamics, recognising signs of stress, discomfort or inappropriate play and intervening calmly.
  • Follow introductions and grouping procedures, taking each dog’s size, temperament and play style into account.
  • Prepare and serve meals according to individual feeding instructions.
  • Provide enrichment, exercise and positive interaction suited to each dog’s needs.
  • Keep daycare areas, boarding rooms, bedding, bowls and equipment clean and hygienic.
  • Monitor appetite, toileting, behaviour and general wellbeing, promptly reporting any concerns.
  • Follow safe handling procedures and maintain secure doors, gates and transfer routes.
  • Maintain accurate care records and provide updates to colleagues and the reception team.
  • Support arrivals and departures, ensuring each dog’s belongings and care instructions are recorded correctly.

What we’re looking for

  • Previous professional experience handling dogs in a daycare, boarding, rescue or similar environment.
  • An understanding of canine body language, safe handling and group supervision.
  • Confidence working with dogs of different sizes, breeds and temperaments.
  • A patient, calm approach, including with nervous or excitable dogs.
  • Willingness to carry out cleaning duties and maintain high hygiene standards.
  • Good spoken English and the ability to follow written care instructions.
  • Reliability, teamwork and attention to detail.
  • Ability to carry out an active role involving extended periods on your feet.
  • Availability to work shifts, including weekends and public holidays.
  • Animal care qualifications or canine first aid training would be an advantage.

What we offer

  • A purpose-built environment with animal welfare at the heart of our care.
  • Training in our handling, safety and daily care procedures.
  • A supportive team and the opportunity to help shape a new pet resort from the beginning.

How to apply

Please submit your CV and a brief explanation of your professional experience working with dogs, including the responsibilities you held.
