About this job

Weekend Kennel Team Member Wanted

Who We Are:
At Park Veterinary Boarding and Spa, we like to think of ourselves as a home away from home for our boarding pets. Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or keeping things squeaky clean, we take pride in making every tail wag and every purr a little louder.

The Role:
We’re on the hunt for a reliable, animal-loving human to join our kennel team for weekend shifts! If you don’t mind fur on your clothes, talking to dogs like they’re your coworkers, and getting your steps in before noon—this might be your dream job.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Serving up meals (with a side of love) to our boarding guests
  • Walking dogs, playing, and making sure everyone gets their daily dose of attention
  • Keeping kennels and play areas clean, fresh, and guest-ready
  • Monitoring pets for health or behavior changes and reporting to the team
  • Administering medications (we’ll train you!)
  • Helping with laundry, dishes, and the behind-the-scenes magic
  • Occasionally chatting with pet parents and reassuring them their fur baby is living their best life

What We’re Looking For:

  • Someone who is dependable (the pets are counting on you!)
  • Comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels
  • Not afraid of a little mess, because let’s be honest, it happens
  • Able to lift, move, and stay on your feet in a fast-paced environment
  • A positive, team-first attitude

Bonus Points If You:

  • Have previous animal care experience
  • Can tell the difference between a “play bark” and a “I demand snacks” bark

Why You’ll Love It Here:

  • Spend your days with animals (yes, it’s as great as it sounds)
  • Be part of a fun, supportive team
  • Opportunities to grow within the clinic
  • Unlimited tail wags and happy greetings
  • Pet care discounts
  • Paid vacation days
  • Medical, vision, and dental insurance
  • Matching 401K plan

If you’re ready to join a team that’s all about wagging tails, happy purrs, and top-notch pet care, apply today and help us make every pet’s stay feel like their best vacation ever!
