Who We Are

Two Hands Four Paws is LA’s leading animal rehabilitation center and a woman-owned, family-run business with a mission: to help animals live their best lives. Since 1998, we’ve provided cutting-edge rehab services—including hydrotherapy, massage, cold laser, and acupuncture—to thousands of dogs and cats. We also operate a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that rescues and rehabilitates shelter animals with nowhere else to turn.

Who You Are

You’re a night owl with a big heart and a detail-oriented mindset. You’re experienced in animal care, especially in veterinary or medical settings, and are happiest when you’re independently handling responsibilities, keeping things clean and calm while the world sleeps.

What You’ll Do

• Care for dogs and cats overnight in our rehab and boarding facility
• Clean and sanitize suites, common areas, and medical equipment
• Administer medications and provide basic care as needed
• Monitor post-surgical and disabled animals with attention to medical detail
• Express bladders/bowels (we’ll train you if needed)
• Complete nightly checklists and maintain a tidy, organized space
• Occasionally transport animals in your own vehicle (mileage reimbursed)

What You’ll Need

• Graveyard shift experience is required. This job is only for those who know they can thrive at night.
• At least one year of experience in an animal care or veterinary environment
• Reliable transportation, valid driver’s license, and a clean driving record
• Ability to lift 40+ lbs and be on your feet for most of your shift
• Superb attention to detail, communication, and teamwork skills
• Compassion, patience, and a love for animals of all sizes and abilities
• Experience with disabled animals is a plus—but we’ll train the right person
• $22/hour starting pay
• 401(k) + 401(k) match
• Paid time off & Employee discounts on services and retail
• Work with a team that’s changing lives—for both pets and people
• Support a mission that gives shelter animals a second chance

Important: This is a graveyard shift role. If your resume and cover letter don’t reflect a true desire (and ability) to work overnights, your application will not be considered. We love what we do—and we need teammates who do, too. Please submit your resume and a brief cover letter explaining why overnight animal care is a good fit for you.
