Why is working at Skiptown so great?!
- Our Skiptown culture is fun and friendly. We may not be Olive Garden, but it is true that when you’re here, you’re family.
- We never compromise safety - for you or the pups. All daycare dogs are required to complete a compatibility session to determine which of the 12 play groups they are best fit for based on their age, size, and play style. This not only sets up our dogs for success in having fun while they’re with us, but makes it a better experience when you’re caring for them, as well!
- It’s never a boring day at Skiptown! Maybe this is a given, but when you’re hanging out with dogs every day, there is certainly never a dull moment and each one is filled with adventures and fun.
- A modern approach to pet care! We provide a comprehensive app that gives you all the info you need in the palm of your hand including playgroup info, pet personalities, and facility & boarding schedules to make it easier for you to care for our pups well.
