Full Job Description

Eastern Iowa Pet Resort is hiring a dependable, hardworking person to help with weekend operations.

This position involves much more than playing with or caring for dogs. It is a fast-paced, hands-on role that combines animal care, extensive cleaning, facility upkeep, customer service, and front desk responsibilities.

We are looking for someone who has a strong work ethic, uses common sense, notices what needs to be done, and can stay productive without constant supervision.

Schedule

This is a part-time weekend position with variable hours based on business and staffing needs.

Available weekend shifts include:

Saturday: 6:00 a.m.–11:00 a.m.
Saturday: 3:00 p.m.–8:00 p.m.
Sunday: 6:00 a.m.–11:00 a.m.
Sunday: 3:00 p.m.–8:00 p.m.

The Saturday and Sunday 3:00 p.m.–8:00 p.m. shift is a regular and required part of this position. Additional Saturday and Sunday shifts will be scheduled as needed based on occupancy and staffing needs.

Applicants should have reliable weekend availability and be comfortable with hours that may vary from week to week. Some scheduled weekends may include both a morning and evening shift, with a break between shifts.

Responsibilities

Job duties include:

Feeding dogs according to individual instructions
Administering oral and topical medications as directed
Letting dogs outside and monitoring their behavior
Safely handling dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments
Cleaning kennels, suites, floors, dishes, bedding, play areas, and common areas
Completing laundry, dishes, trash removal, sweeping, mopping, and general facility cleaning
Maintaining a clean, organized, and sanitary environment throughout the shift
Checking pets in and out at the front desk
Greeting customers and providing professional customer service
Reviewing feeding, medication, and care instructions with customers
Answering phones and assisting with basic customer questions
Accurately documenting feeding, medications, bathroom habits, and completed tasks
Reporting concerns about a dog’s health, behavior, appetite, or condition
Helping with other responsibilities needed to keep the facility running smoothly

What We Are Looking For

The right applicant will:

Have a strong and consistent work ethic
Be dependable and arrive on time
Have reliable transportation
Be comfortable working independently
Use good judgment and common sense
Notice what needs to be done and take initiative
Follow detailed instructions carefully
Stay organized while managing several responsibilities
Work efficiently without cutting corners
Be comfortable communicating with customers
Remain calm in a busy and sometimes noisy environment
Be willing to clean thoroughly throughout the shift
Treat every dog with patience, care, and respect

Pet care, kennel, veterinary, grooming, boarding, daycare, or animal-handling experience is preferred. We are willing to train the right person who is dependable, capable, and ready to work.

Physical Requirements

Applicants must be able to:

Stand and walk for most of the shift
Bend, kneel, squat, reach, and repeatedly move throughout the facility
Lift and carry up to approximately 50 pounds
Safely handle strong, large, or energetic dogs
Work around barking, pet hair, cleaning products, urine, feces, and normal kennel odors
Work indoors and outdoors in changing weather conditions
Perform physically demanding cleaning and animal-care tasks

Please Read Before Applying:

This is a fast-paced, hands-on position that involves much more than spending time with dogs. Thorough cleaning, organization, accuracy, customer service, and completing tasks efficiently are major parts of every shift.

Dependability is essential. Applicants must be able to arrive on time, work independently, follow detailed instructions, and remain productive without constant supervision.

This position is best suited for someone who takes pride in their work, notices what needs to be done, and can be trusted to complete responsibilities correctly and consistently.

Compensation:

Pay may depend on experience, availability, reliability, and demonstrated job performance.

When applying, please include:

Your Saturday and Sunday availability
Any previous animal-care or customer-service experience
Why you are interested in the position
Why you believe you would be dependable in this role

Pay: $13.00 - $17.00 per hour

Benefits:

Employee discount
Flexible schedule
On-the-job training
Paid training

Application Question(s):

What hours are you available to work?
Are you consistently available to work Saturdays from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.?
Do you have reliable transportation that will allow you to consistently arrive on time for shifts beginning at 6:00 a.m.?
Are you comfortable thoroughly cleaning kennels, floors, dishes, bedding, urine, feces, vomit, and other normal pet-related messes throughout every shift?
