Love animals and don't mind getting your hands dirty?

Kennelwood Pet Resorts is looking for dependable, compassionate team members to join our Pet Care team as Boarding Attendants. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys working directly with animals, takes pride in keeping their environment clean and comfortable, and understands that great pet care requires attention to detail, teamwork, and reliability.

As a Boarding Attendant, you'll help provide safe, attentive, and consistent care to the pets staying with us while giving their families confidence that they're in good hands.

What You'll Do

You'll spend your day caring for dogs, cats, and other pets by:

• Providing meals, fresh water, exercise, enrichment, and individual attention
• Following each pet's specific care, feeding, medication, and handling instructions
• Monitoring pets for changes in behavior, appetite, health, or overall well-being
• Walking and safely handling dogs of different sizes, breeds, temperaments, and activity levels
• Cleaning and sanitizing boarding accommodations, pet-care areas, bowls, equipment, and other spaces
• Completing laundry and helping maintain clean bedding and supplies
• Accurately documenting care activities, medications, observations, and concerns
• Communicating with teammates and leadership to ensure consistent care throughout each pet's stay
• Supporting your team wherever needed to maintain a safe, clean, and organized resort

What We're Looking For

You may be a great fit if you:

• Genuinely care about animals and their well-being
• Are dependable, punctual, and comfortable working as part of a team
• Can follow detailed written and verbal instructions
• Pay attention to small changes in an animal's behavior or condition
• Are comfortable working in a physically active, fast-paced environment
• Can safely work with dogs of varying sizes and temperaments
• Are willing to clean, sanitize, and perform the less-glamorous—but essential—parts of professional pet care
• Communicate concerns and ask for help when needed

Previous professional animal-care experience is preferred, but not required. Kennelwood provides training on our established pet-care procedures and expectations.
