Full Job Description
Who we are:
Do you love being around animals and don’t mind getting a little fur on your clothes? We’re looking for a caring, dependable Kennel Attendant to help care for the pets in our facility.

In this role, you’ll be walking dogs, feeding our animal guests, cleaning kennels, and keeping our common areas tidy and welcoming. If you’ve spent time caring for animals—whether as a job, a volunteer, or just as a lifelong pet lover—you could be a great fit! You’ll also need to be able to keep up with some of our more energetic pups, so being physically active is a plus.
