Our animal care attendants provide for every want and need our furry patients have, making sure they get walked and fed, their kennels are cleaned, they have freshly laundered blankets to snuggle, and they are safe, healthy, and loved while their parents are away. Attention to detail is crucial, as our animal care team records all of the daily habits of each pet that stays with us, and monitors them for any concerning changes or emergency situations that need to be addressed by our treatment team. If you are interested in veterinary medicine, this position will benefit you, as you will have the opportunity to assist the doctors and technicians in treatment by holding the patient for whatever medical procedure they may require.

This is a very physically demanding position that requires a lot of walking, bending, moving, and cleaning! We want to make sure our animals have a clean facility so this position handles laundry, dishes, cleaning bathrooms, floors, and the outside of the building, and emptying garbages in addition to cleaning indoor and outdoor kennels.
