Overview
Kennel Attendant / Customer Service Representative Jobs in Lafayette, CA at The Tail Haven
If you love dogs, have experience interacting with and caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, and find job satisfaction in helping to keep them comfortable, safe, and make their owners smile, The Tail Haven is looking for experienced kennel attendant/customer service staff to join our Lafayette team!
In your role as Kennel Attendant / Customer Service Representative, you will assist with all aspects of operating our facility, including but not limited to hotel and daycare client check-in and check-out, scheduling reservations, feeding and administering medications (as required), supervising group play and interacting with the animals, keeping the facility and equipment safe and sanitary, answering phones, collecting customer payments, responding to customer inquiries, and additional responsibilities as required .
Caring for dogs is a fun, fast paced environment with many interruptions and constantly shifting priorities. It is an incredibly gratifying field to work in and not always glamorous. It can be messy, dangerous at times, and is hard work. We seek people to join our team who are familiar with small team environments, and comfortable working with little on-site supervision. Excellent communication, experience working autonomously, self starting tasks, and the ability to recognize and respond to real time needs of the facility without direct supervision are all essential skills for our environment. Dogs are also highly unpredictable, so we are also looking for those who thrive in a bit of chaos, and smile with us through it all.
If you have not worked with dogs professionally before, please expect some culture shock and a steep learning curve (at least two years commercial kennel or vet office experience is preferred).
If you understand that working with animals is equally challenging and rewarding then we encourage you to apply.
