You are always professional as you take reservations, answer questions, and resolve concerns both in person and over the phone.

As you check animals in for services, you greet clients warmly, listen carefully, and ensure that each pet parent's instructions and needs are addressed. You handle client billing and daily cash reports with attention to detail and accuracy. Since pet care is the core of our operations, you also assist with all aspects of pet care as needed. You thrive in this busy, fast-paced environment where there are always pets and people to interact with, as well as phones to answer.
