This job requires helping Kitty with his typical daily duties: daily walks, airport pickups, playdates, property tours and pet amenity deliveries. You’d asssit Kitty in hosting kids’ storytimes, attending community events, giving good-night nuzzles and welcoming guests to the property, too. Also, the Fur Butler coordinates the hotel’s monthly Bark ‘n’ Brew event, a party on the patio for hotel guests and community members.

According to the Facebook posting, the role is a full-time hourly position that reports to the front office team. the Fur Butler will work closely with the director of marketing.

Sounds like the perfect gig, right?

Additionally, the hotel is looking for someone who has an interest in photography and social media. Presumably, you’ll be helping to manage Kitty’s Intagram feed with its 42.8K followers.
