SCHEDULE

Part-time. Availability MUST include weekends, holidays, and school breaks.

A clean suite. A patient walk. A meal prepared just as instructed. For the dogs and cats staying with us, those details are their day. As a part-time Companion Caretaker, you’ll help give our boarding guests the attention their families are counting on.

At All About Animals Pet Clinic, exceptional veterinary care begins with exceptional people.

• Collect, wash, and distribute laundry and keep care supplies organized.
• Communicate clearly with teammates and help provide a welcoming experience for pets and their families.

Who Will Thrive Here

You take pride in cleaning as well as caregiving, stay on task independently, and show up reliably for the pets and people counting on you.
