Job description

Care for animals. Support your team. Make a difference every shift.

At Country View Veterinary Service, we believe the way animals are cared for matters. Every patient who walks through our doors deserves compassion, respect, and thoughtful attention.

We are looking for a Part-Time Kennel Attendant to join our team and help create a clean, safe, and comforting environment for the pets staying in our care. This role plays an important part in the experience our patients have with us, ensuring every pet feels comfortable, calm, and well cared for during their stay.

If you love working with animals, enjoy staying active, and want to be part of a team that takes pride in compassionate, high-quality care, we would love to meet you.

Why You'll Love Us:
  • Community-Centered, High-Quality Care - Our full-service hospital provides wellness care, surgery, diagnostics, dentistry, and preventive medicine. We combine excellent veterinary care with a welcoming, community-centered approach.
  • Growth & Teamwork Culture - Our doctors, technicians, and support staff work closely together every day. We value teamwork, respect, and creating an environment where people feel supported.
  • Meaningful Work - Pets staying with us receive attentive care, enrichment, and comfort from a team that genuinely enjoys looking after them. Your work helps ensure every animal has a safe and positive experience.
What You'll Be Doing:
  • Providing daily care including fresh food, water, clean bedding, and attentive supervision
  • Keeping kennels, runs, and animal areas clean, sanitized, and comfortable
  • Walking dogs and providing enrichment and playtime
  • Assisting with bathing and basic grooming when needed
  • Monitoring pets for changes in behavior or health and reporting concerns to the veterinary team
  • Replenishing supplies (food, bedding, cleaning materials - you name it)
  • Helping with general housekeeping tasks such as laundry, vacuuming, and clinic cleaning
  • Making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for during their stay
You Might Be a Great Fit If You
  • Have a genuine love for animals and a calm, patient presence
  • Are dependable, responsible, and take pride in doing your work well
  • Enjoy working as part of a team and supporting others
  • Are comfortable staying active and moving throughout the day
  • Do not mind getting a little messy and a lot of movement while helping animals (this is not a desk job!)
  • Are eager to learn and grow in a veterinary environment

Even if you’re newer to veterinary medicine, don’t worry. If you love animals and are eager to learn, we’d still encourage you to apply.

Perks + Benefits
  • We support our team members the same way we support our patients: with care, appreciation, and opportunities to grow.
  • Competitive pay based on experience
  • Up to a 5% match on your 401(k)
  • Continuing education allowance and access to training resources
  • Uniform allowance
  • Discounted veterinary care for your personal pets
  • PTO for team members working 25+ hours per week
