We can help you with that. We can give you several hours a day with dogs of all types. You will play, train, feed, and care for dogs of all breeds and ages. Your Pet Space is the only Pet Care facility in Las Cruces to offer Mission Discovery Dog Daycare, an immersive dog experience. Pet Care Specialists work with the dogs in obedience, puzzles, play groups, and more. We are staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a weeks. So whether you are an early bird, late riser, or night owl, we can use you. And if you don't speak dog, we can teach you.
If you are an independent night owl... consider working overnights.
The overnight shift is the perfect position for someone that likes people as well as dogs, but enjoys working independently. And it leaves your days free for errands and appointments.

Once your job duties are completed for the night and the dogs are asleep, you are welcome to catch up on your schoolwork! And you will be locked in a secure facility overnight, with a direct line to the owners, who live right next door. :)
