Kennel Assistant/Hospital Support

At our hospital, we believe great medicine starts with a clean, calm, and supportive environment—for our patients, our clients, and our team.

We’re looking for someone kind, dependable, and motivated to join us in a foundational role that keeps our hospital running. This position is centered around hospital care and cleanliness, with the opportunity to learn hands-on animal care skills along the way.

If you’re curious about the veterinary field, thinking about becoming a veterinary nurse, or just want to do meaningful work with a team that truly cares—this is a great place to start.

What you’ll be part of

This role is essential to patient care. You’ll help create a space where pets feel safe, the team can do their best work, and clients feel taken care of.

Your day will include:

Creating a clean, safe hospital

• Cleaning and sanitizing kennels with attention to detail and proper protocols
• Resetting exam rooms between appointments so each patient has a fresh start
• Maintaining a clean, welcoming environment throughout the hospital
• Supporting end-of-day treatment area cleaning

Supporting patient care

• Making sure hospitalized pets have what they need: fresh water, meals, clean litter boxes, and walks when appropriate
• Preparing kennels for incoming patients so they’re comfortable and stress-minimized
• Learning and practicing fear-free, low-stress animal handling
• Assisting with basic tasks like nail trims, shaving, or other treatments as you’re trained

Helping the team stay ready

• Laundry (a very real and important part of hospital life)
• Restocking exam rooms and treatment areas
• Cleaning, sanitizing, and packing surgical instruments

Who you are

We’re less focused on experience and more focused on who you are as a teammate.

You might be a great fit if you:

• Are 18 and show up reliably for your team
• Take pride in doing things thoroughly and correctly
• Are positive, grounded, and willing to jump in wherever needed
• Can take direction from multiple people and stay flexible in a fast-paced environment
• Genuinely care about animals and the people who love them
• Are comfortable seeing sick, injured, or stressed pets and want to help them feel better
• Value teamwork, communication, and a supportive workplace

Why people love working here

• You’ll be part of a team that prioritizes respect, communication, and a positive environment
• We practice low-stress, fear-free handling and truly advocate for our patients
• You’ll gain real, hands-on experience in veterinary medicine
• There’s opportunity to grow into a veterinary assistant or nursing path if that’s your goal
• The work you do matters—this role directly impacts patient care every single day
