The Company

Petship is a wholesaler of live animals to pet stores in Utah and the surrounding states. We sell a wide variety of animals including: ferrets, hedgehogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, chinchillas, birds, reptiles, spiders, mice, rats, worms, and fish. The company has been around for almost 50 years, providing pet stores with needed animals and supplies to run their businesses. If you enjoy animals then this is your opportunity to work with a variety of them every week.

The Role

Petship is in need of an employee to take care of receiving, packing, and delivering animals to stores. The primary responsibilities will be to pack up animals that are to be delivered and then drive them to the delivery points. Almost all deliveries are within Utah and Salt Lake counties. You will spend about half of your time on your feet packing animals and the other half driving. This could mean being on your feet for up to approximately four hours some days. You will need to be very attentive to detail. This means counting out large quantities of animals (up to 100) without losing track, ensuring animals have sufficient food and water sources for travel, and labeling the shipping containers for the correct customers. You will be regularly lifting between 10-20 pounds and bending or squatting to grab supplies, while occasionally lifting around 50 pounds.

Schedule

Hours may also be somewhat variable depending on how efficiently you work, traffic, and seasonality. The expected number of hours per week will be 20-25.

Mondays: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Tuesdays: 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM (usually only once or twice a month)

Wednesdays: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Thursdays: 10:00 AM - 3:30 PM
