At Destination Pet, we're not just another Pet/Vet care center—we're a community that lives to elevate the love and lives of pet families.

What You Should Know:

• This is an on-your-feet, hands-on, sometimes-sweaty kind of job.
• Must be able to lift up to 40 lbs (golden retrievers don't walk themselves to the tub).
• Availability on evenings, weekends, and holidays required pets don't take days off.
• Exposure to cleaning supplies, pet hair, and, ahem, "accidents" is part of the gig.
• Must be able to be on feet for the duration of your shift.
• Must be able to stand, walk and climb stairs frequently

What You Bring to the Table:

• A borderline-obsessive love for animals. (We get it. We're the same.)
• Prior kennel or animal care experience is a plus, but if you're brand new and eager to learn—we want to meet you!
• A cool, calm, and professional demeanor—even when a Great Dane steals your mop.
• A willingness to get your hands dirty (literally).

What You'll Be Doing (Besides Making Furry Friends for Life):

• Keeping pet enclosures and play areas spotless, safe, and sanitized (because nobody likes a stinky litter box).
• Serving up meals and fresh water like a 5-star pet resort concierge.
• Monitoring the health, happiness, and, yes, poop of every pet guest—because details matter.
• Reporting anything unusual to the General or Assistant Manager (you'll be their eyes and ears).
• Supervising playtime, tail-wagging, and the occasional game of fetch.
• Assisting with brushing and bath time (rubber ducky optional).
• Handling laundry and belongings so every pet has clean snuggly stuff.
• Making tails wag. That's the real goal here.
• Other duties as assigned
