Job summary

Destination Pet LLC is hiring an Animal Care Attendant for Camp Wagging Tails in Cornelius, NC. This on-your-feet, hands-on position supports daily care, feeding, grooming assistance, and play supervision for a variety of pets, while keeping enclosures clean and safe.

The role requires energy, a love for animals, and flexibility for evenings, weekends, and holidays. Perks include Telehealth, 401K, and Pet Insurance.

Qualifications

A border-line-obsessive love for animals.
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).

Responsibilities

Keeping pet enclosures and play areas spotless, safe, and sanitized.
Serving up meals and fresh water like a 5-star pet resort concierge.
Monitoring the health, happiness, and, yes, poop of every pet guest.
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.
