Our pet-obsessed professionals create a connected care network of trustworthy partners who bring creative innovation every day. We are revolutionizing the pet industry. Join us!**#
** We're sniffing out our next Lead Animal Care Attendant at
* The Pet Palace*****—a confident, compassionate, chaos-capable packmate to help guide the daily wag.
** Can you manage a mop, a medication chart, and a mob of mutts—sometimes all at once? If you're the go-to friend for pet advice
* and* pep talks, it's time to step into a role that lets you lead with both your heart and your hustle.

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.

Whether its belly rubs or brushing, our goal is simple: make pets feel at home and their humans feel at ease.***
* ** Perks & Pay:
** Telehealth , 401k and Pet Insurance Pay starts at **$12–$13/hour DOE + tips** (that’s 'depending on experience' and no, 'being best friends with your dog' doesn’t count as experience... unless your dog writes a letter of reference). Access your earned wages anytime with
** Daily Pay.*****
* ** Reporting To:
** General Manager***
* ** What You Should Know:
*** You’ll be on your feet most of the shift—standing, walking, climbing stairs, and handling leashed dogs.
* Must be able to lift up to 40 lbs (sometimes it’s a crate, sometimes it’s a sleepy bulldog).
* 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.***
* ** What You’ll Be Doing (Besides Keeping the Shift Running and the Tails Waggin’):
*** Leading the pack during your assigned shifts—coaching, guiding, and setting the tone for pet care excellence.
* Working alongside Animal Care Attendants to ensure safety, cleanliness, and a whole lot of tail wags.
* Training new hires on proper pet handling, procedures, and how not to get jumped by five doodles at once.
* Monitoring pet guests for health, safety, and general cuteness; reporting anything off to the General or Assistant Manager.
* Serving up food, fresh water, and daily TLC to every furry guest.
* Overseeing meds and special needs guests (bonus points if you’re med-savvy or CPR trained).
* Bathing and brushing our four-legged VIPs (Very Important Pups).
* Making sure the place is clean, cozy, and smells less like a wet dog and more like 'spa day at the kennel.
* ** Other duties as assigned*****
* ** What You Bring to the Table:
*** You’re obsessed with animals and it shows. (We see you, covered in pet hair and proud.)
* Previous work experience in animal care? Yes please.
* Med administration experience? Even better.
* You lead by example—whether it’s scooping, scrubbing, or stepping in when things get off track.
* Calm under pressure (even when someone mistakes your shoelace for a chew toy).
* Confident in guiding and supporting teammates to do their best.
* CPR training is a big plus (but we can help with that too).
* High school diploma required.
** Ready to level up your pet care career? If you’ve got the heart of a caretaker and the soul of a team leader, grab the leash and let’s go!
