    The kennel tech is responsible for the care, feeding, medicating and cleaning of our patients in hospital, and our clients in the boarding facility.

  • Qualifications

    Qualifications

    You Might Be Our Person If You:
    ● Aren’t afraid of fur on your scrubs (it’s basically glitter)
    ● Can handle enthusiastic tail wags and the occasional dramatic Chihuahua
    ● Are calm, patient, and kind — even when someone hisses at you
    ● Have experience working with animals (preferred, but we’ll train the right human!)

    Perks of the Job:
    ● Unlimited slobbery kisses
    ● Daily dose of puppy breath
    ● The satisfaction of helping pets feel safe and loved
    ● A team that supports each other like a well-trained pack
    ● Learning opportunities if you're considering a future in veterinary medicine

    Important Notes:
    This job is active! Expect lifting (up to 50 lbs), lots of walking, cleaning, and the occasional
    “surprise” mess. It’s not always glamorous — but it’s always meaningful.

    If you’re ready to trade a quiet desk for wagging tails and happy purrs, we’d love to meet you
