Our veterinary hospital is seeking a part time kennel person. The position is both enjoyable and challenging. You will be responsible for caring for someone's "baby" and we take that responsibility very seriously. Ideally, we would like someone who can work a full day Tuesday and Wednesday and who can participate in our weekend and holiday rotation. Some flexibility exists for the full day Tuesday and Wednesday hours.
Position Overview
The purpose of this position is to provide for the daily care of boarding pets and pets presented for baths. This includes feeding, watering, cleaning, walking, bathing, medicating, and monitoring the wellbeing of dogs, cats and, occasionally, other companion animals. This position requires a love of animals and the ability to warmly welcome and compassionately care for a wide variety of pets. 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.
The Kennel Assistant administers medications to and bathes pets, including those that are fearful and/or aggressive. The Team Member monitors 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. May be exposed to bites, scratches, animal waste, and contagious diseases.
Ideally, our assistants are also learning how to admit and discharge our boarding patients. This task requires significant training and communication skills and will include significant training and input from your kennel supervisor.
Please submit resume or come to our hospital to complete a job application.
