This position will require working both indoors and outdoors during those cold and hot weather. Are these conditions that you are willing and OK to work in?

You must have common sense to work here. A frequent scenario we encounter is when a owner brings their dog for boarding and brings tons of treats and bones that the dog is not used to having, however, the owner feels guilty about leaving the dog and that is why they brought all these new treats thinking that, it’ll make you happy. Common sense tells us that if we give the dog all the treats and bones, the dog will develop diarrhea, which could lead to other problems as the owner most likely wouldn’t understand and will probably blame us if the dog is returned with diarrhea. How would you handle this?

This position will require you to be on your feet your entire shifts, as well as bending and kneeling, as well as other strenuous activities for long periods of times. Are you capable of doing this? And are you willing to do this?

At times you may be checking in and or out many customers at a time, as well as answering the phone and keeping the customers that are waiting happy. This is very overwhelming at times. Do you feel like this is something you can handle?

Please feel free to include anything else that you feel I should know. I look forward to hearing from you. Take care. Please be sure to answer every questions because a lot of people tend to miss a few.
