What are the responsibilities and job description for the Pet Care Technician position at Kennel Des Les Anges?
Kennel Des Les Anges is seeking Pet Care Technicians for our boarding, grooming, and doggy daycare business. Pet Care Technicians are primarily responsible for feedings and potty breaks, monitoring play groups, and frequent and thorough cleaning of the facility.
We have a 1-acre fenced field for dogs to run and play in. Our guests go out to play every day - rain, wind, snow, or shine - and this position requires work in all types of weather.
Prior experience working with dogs is not required. The work environment can be fast-paced, but not overwhelmingly so. We try to err on the side of staffing too many people for a shift rather than too few. Must be able to work weekends and on holidays.
We prioritize the safety of our employees and the safety and comfort of the animals in our care. We are protective of the working environment here, where staff are respectful and considerate of each other, and where many lasting friendships have been formed.
