Full Job Description

Pet Care Attendant – No Experience Required

Pet Care Plus Resort & Spa | Chicago, IL
Starting Pay: $17.05 per hour
Morning, Afternoon, and Overnight Shifts Available
Weekday and Weekend Availability Needed

No professional pet care experience is required. We provide training for candidates who bring reliability, a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and a genuine love for animals.

Please carefully review the application instructions at the end of this posting. Applicants must complete both assessments to be considered.

About the Position

Pet Care Plus is hiring dependable, observant, and positive Pet Care Attendants to help us deliver the kind of care our brand promises: Safe. Structured. Fun.

Our Pet Care Attendants help dogs and cats remain safe, healthy, clean, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay.

This is a hands-on, physically active, and cleaning-intensive position. You will spend time interacting with animals, but a significant part of the role involves cleaning, sanitation, laundry, facility upkeep, and maintaining a safe environment.

This position regularly involves:

Cleaning and sanitizing play areas, kennels, suites, cat spaces, bowls, floors, and equipment
Completing laundry, accident cleanup, and room resets throughout the day
Handling fur, slobber, muddy paws, pet waste, odors, and other messy parts of animal care
Repeating cleaning and care routines thoroughly and consistently
Remaining attentive in a busy, loud, and sometimes unpredictable environment
Standing, walking, bending, and remaining physically active throughout the shift

If you take pride in important behind-the-scenes work, enjoy staying active, and understand that excellent pet care includes excellent sanitation, this may be a great fit for you.

Why Pet Care Plus?

Pet Care Plus Resort & Spa has cared for Chicago pets since 1998. We are proud to be Chicago’s longest-running dog daycare and boarding facility under the same family ownership.

We are more than a daycare. We are a full-service pet care company supporting dogs and cats through every stage of life. With our mission, “Your Best Friend’s Best Life Begins Here,” we focus on lifelong care rather than a one-service experience.

Our services include:

Dog daycare
Dog boarding
Cat boarding
Grooming and bathing
Puppy socialization
Enrichment services
Pet taxi services
Wellness-oriented care

We care for the whole pet—physically, mentally, and emotionally—through safe socialization, structured play, proper rest, attentive observation, and individualized care.

Families choose Pet Care Plus because of the trust we have built through high-touch care, open tours, live webcams, and consistent standards.

What You’ll Do

As a Pet Care Attendant, you will support the daily care and supervision of our animal guests while helping maintain a clean, safe, and well-organized facility.

Your responsibilities will include:

Supervising and safely managing group dog play
Learning to recognize dog body language, behavior, and communication
Redirecting unsafe, inappropriate, or overly rough play
Helping maintain safe and balanced playgroups
Caring for dogs and cats of different sizes, ages, temperaments, and needs
Following feeding, medication, rest, and individual care instructions
Monitoring pets for changes in behavior, appetite, appearance, or overall well-being
Communicating concerns promptly and clearly
Cleaning and sanitizing animal areas, equipment, bowls, floors, and shared spaces
Completing laundry and resetting rooms throughout the day
Providing animals with positive interaction, affection, structure, and enrichment
Following all safety procedures and care standards
Supporting teammates and stepping in where needed

You May Be a Great Fit If You:

Genuinely love animals and understand that caring for them includes cleaning and routine work
Prefer active, hands-on work instead of sitting at a desk
Notice when something seems wrong and speak up quickly
Take pride in completing tasks thoroughly and correctly
Stay calm in busy, noisy, or unpredictable environments
Appreciate structure, routine, and clear expectations
Work well with a team and are willing to help wherever needed
Bring positive energy while taking your responsibilities seriously

What We’re Looking For

Strong candidates are:

Dependable and committed to excellent attendance and punctuality
Positive, coachable, and willing to learn
Observant and attentive to detail
Comfortable following established procedures consistently
Calm under pressure
Physically active and comfortable being on their feet for most of the shift
Able to receive feedback and apply it
Self-motivated and able to recognize what needs to be done
Team-oriented, resilient, and willing to help others
Comfortable around barking, shedding, slobber, muddy paws, pet waste, cleaning products, and odors

Our strongest team members demonstrate our SPARK values:

Stay Connected: Communicate openly and honestly
Passion: Care deeply about pets, people, and teammates
Authenticity: Be genuine, kind, and professional
Resiliency: Keep moving forward when the day becomes busy or messy
Keep the Joy: Bring positive energy that lifts the team

No Pet Care Experience? That’s Okay.

Previous professional pet care experience is not required.

We can train the right person in:

Dog behavior and body language
Safe animal handling
Group play supervision
Feeding and care procedures
Cleaning and facility standards
Animal health and safety observations

Reliability, work ethic, attention to detail, sound judgment, consistency, and a genuine desire to learn are essential.

Experience in animal care, hospitality, childcare, fitness, customer service, restaurants, retail, warehouses, housekeeping, janitorial work, or other active and team-oriented environments can be helpful, but it is not required.

The Reality—and Reward—of Pet Care

Some days will be loud, messy, fast-paced, and physically demanding. There will be barking, fur, slobber, muddy paws, accidents, odors, pet waste, laundry, and frequent cleanup.

There will also be meaningful moments: helping a shy dog become more confident, watching a puppy learn how to socialize, patiently caring for a senior pet, or seeing a returning guest race through the door because they know they are safe with us.

The animals in our care depend on us to get the details right every day.

What You’ll Gain

Hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats
Training in dog behavior and body language
Experience in safe handling and group play management
A supportive, team-oriented workplace
Professional skill development and growth opportunities
A path into the pet care industry
Work that directly contributes to the health and happiness of animals
Plenty of tail wags, happy greetings, and occasional slobbery kisses

Application Process

Applicants must complete two short assessments as part of the application process. These assessments are only one part of our evaluation and help us understand how candidates naturally work and learn.

1. Behavioral Assessment

Takes approximately 3–4 minutes
There are no right or wrong answers
Please answer honestly and avoid overthinking your responses
You will receive your results by email after completing the assessment
The second assessment link will then be sent to you by email

2. Cognitive Assessment

Takes approximately 12 minutes
This is a timed assessment
It helps us understand how candidates learn, adapt, and process new information

We consider the whole person throughout our hiring process, including:

Reliability and work ethic
Attitude and coachability
Interview performance
Relevant experience
Overall fit for the position

To be considered for the Pet Care Attendant position, please complete both assessments as part of your application.

Pet Care Plus Resort & Spa is an equal opportunity employer. We consider qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other status protected by applicable law.
