Job Description

Join Our Expert Team - Doggy Daycare Assistant & Driver | Cobham, Surrey

Duncan's Dog Co.

is a 5-star rated dog daycare with a difference. Based in Cobham, Surrey, we run from a fully licensed, home-based facility set within 10 acres of private woodland. Dogs in our care enjoy structured days full of enrichment, off-lead woodland play, and calm, confident socialisation -- all overseen by our experienced, long-standing team.

We're now looking for a

Doggy Daycare Assistant & Driver

to join us.

What Makes Us Different:

Professional, Experienced Team

- Our staff aren't just dog lovers. They're trained, capable professionals who know how to manage groups, read behaviour, and create a safe, calm environment. You'll learn from the best.

A Unique Setting

- Unlike warehouse-style setups or open field daycares with limited control or shelter, we operate from a single, private, fully secure facility set within 10 acres of natural woodland. Dogs roam, explore, and play freely in wild enrichment areas designed to mimic the outdoors they love -- all under expert supervision.

One Location, One Standard

- We don't operate franchises or split sites. Every dog is cared for at our single, purpose-designed facility by people who know them.

We care about the details.

Structured Days

- Our dogs enjoy routine, rest, and enrichment -- not just chaos and play. We focus on creating balanced, happy pack members.

Trusted & Respected

- With hundreds of five-star reviews and a loyal customer base, we're known for high standards, clear communication, and dogs who love to come back.

The Role: Doggy Daycare Assistant & Driver

This is a varied, hands-on role perfect for someone who loves dogs, enjoys being outdoors, and takes pride in doing things properly. You'll be a key part of our daily operations, combining

safe transportation

with

engaged, proactive care

at our unique woodland facility.

Using our company vehicles, you'll collect and drop off dogs from their homes each day before joining the rest of the team on-site to supervise group play, support daily routines, and keep everything clean, calm, and running smoothly.

Transport Responsibilities:

Safely collect and return dogs between their homes and our facility using our

custom people carriers -- not standard vans

. All dogs travel together as a group, and we expect them to get along -- the

social experience of daycare starts the moment they leave home

. Follow efficient, pre-planned routes to ensure punctuality and consistency. Ensure dogs are secured, calm, and comfortable throughout the journey -- helping to make travel part of their positive routine. Maintain a clean and organised vehicle interior, ensuring hygiene and comfort are always prioritised.
Daycare Duties:

Supervise off-lead play sessions in our private woodland environment, ensuring dogs have fun while staying safe. Read dog behaviour and group dynamics, stepping in when needed to redirect, calm, or separate dogs appropriately. Provide basic daily care -- fresh water, food where required, brushing, and paw-cleaning. Assist with new dog introductions and help them settle into the pack, guided by our senior team members. Capture the fun of the day for occasional updates, photos, or first-day reports.
Customer Interaction:

Greet dog owners warmly and professionally during pick-ups and drop-offs. Build trust and rapport by delivering clear, friendly updates on their dog's day or wellbeing. Represent Duncan's Dog Co. positively -- as someone who knows the dogs, cares about their welfare, and understands our high standards.
You'll Need:

A valid

UK driving licence

with a clean record. Confidence handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Punctuality and reliability -- this role is a key part of our daily operation. Great communication skills. Physical ability to lift dogs, clean, and work outdoors in all weather. A positive attitude and willingness to learn -- we're happy to train the right person.
Bonus If You Have:

Experience working in dog daycare, kennels, or other pet care roles. Knowledge of dog behaviour, enrichment, or group dynamics. Canine first aid or animal-related training certificates.
What You'll Get:

Work in a beautiful outdoor setting surrounded by dogs. Learn from experienced professionals who are passionate about what they do. Enjoy a fulfilling, hands-on role with no two days the same. Be part of a team that genuinely cares -- about dogs, clients, and each other.
