The Opportunity
Are you a high-level operator who loves animals as much as you love a perfectly executed plan? Dan’s Pet Care—the North Shore’s #1 pet care provider and 2021’s Pet Sitter of the Year—is looking for an In-Home Services Manager to lead our elite field team.
With 3,500+ clients and a massive social media following (230k+ on YouTube!), we’ve set the gold standard for pet care. As our In-Home Services Manager, you are the conductor of this symphony. You will oversee daily scheduling, optimize operational flow, and mentor a dedicated team of specialists to ensure every pet receives a "5-star" experience.
What You’ll Do (The Impact)
- Master the Schedule: Use cutting-edge GPS technology and scheduling software to coordinate seamless pet care visits across the North Shore of Long Island.

- Raise the Bar: Work directly with the senior management team to hit quarterly growth goals and innovate our service standards.
- Be a Player-Coach: While this is a leadership role, you aren’t afraid to leash up! You’ll occasionally be in the field, handling dogs of all sizes (yes, even the 90lb "gentle giants") and ensuring medical protocols are followed perfectly.

- Experience: 3+ years of team leadership is required.
