- Attention to detail and pride in cleanliness.
- Ability to follow established cleaning procedures and instructions.
- Ability to work independently without constant supervision.
- Comfortable cleaning animal waste and other pet-related messes.
- Comfortable working around dogs and in a busy pet-care environment.
- Ability to stay focused on cleaning duties even when the facility is busy.
- Willingness to work weekends and holidays as scheduled.

This position requires frequent standing, walking, bending, reaching, kneeling, lifting, carrying, and repetitive cleaning activities.
- Ability to lift and carry up to 50 pounds.
- Ability to remain physically active for extended periods.
- Ability to work around water, cleaning products, animal waste, and varying temperatures.
- Must be able to safely perform the essential cleaning duties of the position, with reasonable accommodation where required by law.

Schedule
Part-time, approximately 20–25 hours per week, based on operational needs.
Schedules may vary. Availability may be required during:
- Weekdays

Because Pet BnD provides care for animals around the clock, certain cleaning and sanitation duties may be required outside normal public business hours.
Important to Know
This position is not primarily an animal-care or dog-handling position. While you will work around animals and may occasionally assist with basic facility or animal-related tasks, cleaning and sanitation are the primary duties of this job.
