In what may be the best weekend job posting one could hope for, a Toronto company is hiring someone to care for dogs on the weekend. K9 Canada offers dog training, boarding, and also operates as a retail pet store.

And this position sounds paws-itively amazing!

It's not all fun and games though, and the position doesn't come without responsibilities. The candidate will be required to answer phone calls, provide owners will daily updates, hold their own as potenially the only human in a room of 15 dogs, and execute basic grooming.

The best part? Well, actually, the dogs are clearly the best part — but a close second? This position pays more than minimum wage, as it is offering $16/hour for the right candidate.

A love of dogs, a high level of patience, and an upbeat attitude are absolute requirements.

The ideal candidate would have one year's experience in dog care and retail, but that is only listed as preferred, not mandatory. They state that they are happy to train a strong candidate without experience!

Could that be you? 

If you're a natural with dogs, what are you waiting for? You certainly wouldn't be in for a ruff ride!
