Full Job Description

Kennel Assistant (Weekend Availability Required)

Are you passionate about animals and interested in a future career in veterinary medicine? Our busy veterinary hospital and boarding facility is looking for a compassionate, dependable Kennel Assistant to join our team. This is an excellent opportunity for high school or college students looking to gain hands-on experience in an animal care setting while exploring a career in veterinary medicine.

What You'll Do

As a Kennel Assistant, you'll play an important role in the daily care and comfort of our boarding and hospitalized pets by:

Feeding and providing fresh water to animals according to established schedules
Safely handling and restraining pets using low-stress techniques
Cleaning and disinfecting kennels, cat condos, treatment areas, and equipment to maintain a healthy environment
Exercising, monitoring, and providing enrichment for boarding pets
Transferring pets between boarding, treatment, and exercise areas
Assisting with bath packages, including nail trims, ear cleanings, and learning proper animal handling techniques
Communicating with clients by providing boarding pet updates over the phone
Learning our hospital software and supporting the team with basic administrative tasks as needed

Why Join Our Team?

We're more than just a boarding facility--we're a full-service veterinary hospital with over 100 indoor/outdoor dog runs and spacious cat condos. Our kennel team works closely with our medical team, giving you opportunities to learn beyond daily animal care.

As part of our team, you'll have opportunities to:

Shadow veterinarians and veterinary assistants during medical procedures
Learn basic veterinary skills and animal handling techniques
Develop client communication and customer service experience
Explore career paths within our hospital through internal career mapping
Grow into future roles such as Receptionist or Veterinary Assistant based on your interests, performance, and availability

Whether you're planning for veterinary school or simply love working with animals, this position provides valuable experience in a supportive, team-oriented environment.

Schedule & Availability

Weekend availability is required. Candidates must be available to work both Saturdays and Sundays.
Typical shifts are 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM.
Additional weekday shifts may be available.
Split shifts can be accommodated for students when scheduling allows.
Holiday availability is required, as our boarding facility is busiest during holiday seasons.

What We're Looking For

A genuine love for animals and a willingness to learn
Dependability, strong work ethic, and the ability to work as part of a team
Comfort working in a fast-paced, physically active environment
Ability to safely handle dogs and cats of all sizes
No previous veterinary or animal care experience is required--we're happy to train the right candidate.

If you're looking to gain real-world veterinary experience, work alongside an experienced medical team, and start building a career in animal healthcare, we'd love to meet you!
