Kennel Attendant - West Chester Pet Resort

Overview

At West Chester Pet Resort
, we’re more than a boarding and daycare facility; we’re a luxury retreat where pets come to play, relax, and be cared for like royalty. Our nearly 5-acre resort was built with every detail in mind, from off-leash parks to deluxe suites and secure fencing. We’re looking for a Full-Time Kennel Attendant to join our close-knit team and help us keep tails wagging and paws playing‑ safely, joyfully, and with plenty of love.

We’re located in a beautiful area surrounded by trails, shops, and parks - with easy access to Richmond for city convenience. Whether you’re local or relocating, you’ll find a warm welcome and a whole lot of wagging tails.

Because we take “best friend” seriously. We offer premium pet boarding, supervised daycare, exotic pet stays, and more- all designed for comfort, fun, and peace of mind. With Chester Animal Clinic right next door, our guests are never far from expert care if needed.
