Where every family feels genuinely welcome.

Pet Companions Bed & Biscuit is a premium, cage-free daycare, boarding, and enrichment facility in Reading, MA where the standard is high, the team is tight, and the dogs — and the people who love them — feel it every single day.

We're not a drop-off facility — we're a community. The Guest Experience Specialist is often the first, and sometimes the only, person a family talks to before trusting us with the dog they love. That first impression sets the tone for everything that follows.

"Leaving should never feel like leaving behind."

You're the first smile pet parents see at drop-off, and the calm, confident voice they hear when they call with a question. Whether a family feels like they made the right choice starts with you.

That's not a small thing. It's the whole thing.

Warm at the front desk, sharp with the details.

You'll welcome every dog and every family by name, run quick and accurate check-ins and check-outs, and recommend the add-on services — grooming, walks, Adventure Club, enrichment — that genuinely fit each dog. You'll also plan and lead our daily enrichment activities, so this isn't a seated, transactional front-desk job. You're on your feet, in the mix, and part of what makes each dog's day actually good.

This role also carries a real sales component: you'll work toward weekly service-sales goals and earn a bonus on top of your base pay when you hit them. The best Guest Experience Specialists don't treat that as a quota to survive — they treat it as making sure every dog gets the services that actually help them.

What a great day looks like

On a good day, you've greeted every family with a real hello, caught a service that would genuinely help a dog and booked it, and led an enrichment activity the dogs loved. On a hard day — a late drop-off rush, a scheduling snag — you stay calm, work through it, and keep the front desk feeling unhurried anyway.

That's the standard. That's the job.

We'd rather be direct upfront.

You're the right fit if you
  • Have hands-on experience with dogs and feel confident and safe around all sizes and temperaments
  • Are a confident communicator who genuinely enjoys recommending services and closing the sale
  • Are comfortable talking with clients face-to-face, by text, and by email
  • Pick up new software and systems quickly
  • Are proactive, organized, calm under pressure, and consistently positive
  • Can reliably start your day at 7:00 AM, weekdays
  • Want a role with real career conversations and room to grow
Probably not the right fit if you
  • Want a purely back-office role with no guest-facing or sales component
  • Struggle with early mornings or need an inconsistent, changing schedule
  • See recommending services as "upselling" rather than helping a dog get what it needs
  • Would rather not be hands-on with dogs during enrichment activities

We mean this kindly. This role has real expectations and a team counting on you. We'd rather be honest upfront than waste your time or ours.

Every guest, every dog, every time.

  • Welcome pet parents and their dogs each morning and make them feel genuinely at home
  • Handle quick, accurate check-ins and check-outs
  • Recommend and book add-on services — grooming, walks, Adventure Club, and enrichment — that fit each dog
  • Plan and lead the daily enrichment program for the dogs in our care
  • Communicate with clients in person, by text, and by email
  • Work toward weekly service-sales goals, with a bonus on top of base pay for hitting them
  • Keep the front-desk experience calm, organized, and welcoming — even during busy rushes
