Job summary

Destination Pet is seeking an Animal Care Attendant at Pet Palace West Chester to help keep kennels clean, feed pets, and provide loving, attentive care. You’ll work on your feet in a fast-paced environment and be part of a team that treats every animal like family.

We value a hands-on attitude, reliability for evenings and weekends, and a playful spirit that thrives with dogs and cats alike. Training is provided, and opportunities to grow exist within our pet-loving community.

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 (because nobody likes a stinky litter box).
• Serving up meals and fresh water like a 5-star pet resort concierge.
• Monitoring the health, happiness, and, yes, poop of every pet guest-because details matter.
• 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.
• Other duties as assigned
