Job description

At Urgent Pet Care, we know pets are family. When emergencies happen, our team is here to provide lifesaving care and compassionate support. Our Customer Service Representatives (CSRs) are the heart of that mission — the first smile, the first reassuring voice, and the steady hand helping families through stressful moments.

Imagine that it’s a busy evening, and a family rushes in with their dog who suddenly became ill. You meet them at the door, calm their nerves, and help them check in quickly. While our medical team begins care, you keep the family updated, answer their questions, and reassure them that their pet is in good hands. By the end of the night, you’ve not only helped save a life, but you’ve made a frightening experience a little easier for someone who loves their pet dearly.

As a customer service representative at Urgent Pet Care, you’ll be more than “front desk”. You’ll be a guide, a comfort, and an advocate for pets and their people!

Our hours of operation are:

• Monday - Saturday: 8 am - 12 midnight
• Sunday: 8 am - 10 pm
• Shifts for this position include Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday from 4 pm - 1 am**
