Full Job Description

Join The Gold Leash as a Kennel Manager

Are you an experienced leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment and knows how to build high-performing teams?

The Gold Leash Pet Hotel & Daycare is seeking an experienced Kennel Manager to help lead our growing team. This is a leadership position for individuals with proven management experience who can motivate employees, maintain operational excellence, and deliver an exceptional experience for both pets and their owners.

As one of the area's fastest-growing luxury pet care companies, we're looking for leaders who want to grow with us. With our third location opening from the ground up within the next year, there will be exciting opportunities for career advancement and leadership development.

Please Read Before Applying

This is a management position. Previous management or supervisory experience is required.

If you do not have leadership or management experience, we encourage you to apply for our Animal Technician (Pet Tech) position instead. We are always looking for great people to grow within our company, but applications without relevant management experience will not be considered for this role.

Responsibilities

As a Kennel Manager, you will:

Lead, coach, and develop a team of Animal Technicians
Foster a positive, accountable, and professional team culture
Maintain employee morale and engagement
Ensure exceptional communication between staff, clients, and leadership
Oversee the daily operations of boarding, daycare, and the facility
Provide outstanding front desk support and customer service to pet parents
Answer phones and assist customers with reservations for boarding, daycare, grooming, and other services
Feed pets according to their individualized feeding instructions and schedules
Safely administer medications as directed and maintain accurate medication records
Monitor pets for changes in health or behavior and communicate concerns promptly
Maintain accurate client and pet records
Ensure the facility meets The Gold Leash's standards of cleanliness, safety, and animal care
Train, coach, and hold team members accountable to company policies and procedures
Resolve customer concerns professionally while delivering a luxury customer experience
Identify operational challenges and implement solutions to keep the day running smoothly
Lead by example while actively working alongside your team throughout each shift

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate has:

Previous management or supervisory experience (required)
Exceptional communication and customer service skills
Strong leadership and team-building abilities
Excellent time management and organizational skills
The ability to prioritize multiple responsibilities in a fast-paced environment
Experience coaching, motivating, and holding team members accountable
Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills
A calm, professional attitude under pressure

Management experience in pet care, veterinary medicine, boarding, daycare, hospitality, restaurant, retail, or other customer service-focused industries is highly preferred.

Work Environment

This is a fast-paced, hands-on leadership position comparable to managing a busy restaurant. Managers are expected to lead by example and actively work alongside their team throughout the day. You'll spend much of your shift on your feet, multitasking, assisting customers, handling pets, solving problems, and supporting your team to ensure every guest receives exceptional care.

Benefits

Competitive pay based on experience
Monthly bonus opportunities
Tip pool participation
Free 10-day daycare package every quarter
20% employee discount on services and retail
40 hours of Paid Time Off (full-time employees)
25% company contribution toward BCBS health insurance (full-time employees)

Grow With Us

At The Gold Leash, we're building more than a pet care company—we're building a team of exceptional leaders. If you're an experienced manager who enjoys developing people, creating efficient operations, delivering outstanding customer service, and leading by example, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today and help shape the future of The Gold Leash as we continue to grow.
