Computer skills are a must.
Daily reports are completed on all boarders.
This position requires a love of animals and the ability to warmly welcome and compassionately care for a wide variety of pets as well as the ability to work well with others.
It should always be remembered, while our patients are pets, our clients are people and your people skills are just as important as your love of pets.
Our kennel staff administer medications under doctor supervision and bathe pets, including those that are fearful and/or aggressive.
Our staff monitor pets for signs of distress or disease and provides for the comfort of pets and sanitation of the facility by keeping the kennel area and grounds clean and odor-free.
Must be able to withstand unpleasant odors and noises.
