We’re currently sniffing out our next Animal Care Attendant at Deer Creek Animal Hospital
Perks & Pay:
Full Time Health Benefits, 401K and Discounted Pet Insurance
Pay starts at $15.00 - $17.00/hour DOE + tips
What You Should Know:
- This is an on-your-feet, hands-on, sometimes-sweaty kind of job.
- Must be able to lift up to 40 lbs (golden retrievers don’t walk themselves to the tub).
- Availability on evenings, weekends, and holidays required pets don’t take days off.
- Exposure to cleaning supplies, pet hair, and, ahem, “accidents” is part of the gig.
- Must be able to be on feet for the duration of your shift.
- Must be able to stand, walk and climb stairs frequently
Reporting To:
General Manager
What You Bring to the Table:
- A borderline-obsessive love for animals. (We get it. We’re the same.)
- Prior kennel or animal care experience is a plus, but if you're brand new and eager to learn—we want to meet you!
- A cool, calm, and professional demeanor—even when a Great Dane steals your mop.
- A willingness to get your hands dirty (literally).
- Keeping pet enclosures and play areas spotless, safe, and sanitized (because nobody likes a stinky litter box).
- Serving up meals and fresh water like a 5-star pet resort concierge.
- Monitoring the health, happiness, and, yes, poop of every pet guest—because details matter.
- Reporting anything unusual to the General or Assistant Manager (you’ll be their eyes and ears).
- Supervising playtime, tail-wagging, and the occasional game of fetch.
- Assisting with brushing and bath time (rubber ducky optional).
- Handling laundry and belongings so every pet has clean snuggly stuff.
- Making tails wag. That’s the real goal here.
- Other duties as assigned
