Pack Leader/Kennel Attendant

Tuscawilla Oaks Animal Hospital (TOAH)

We are looking for a dedicated, animal-loving Pack Leader/Kennel Attendant to join our team! This is not just a kennel job, but an opportunity to be part of a team that truly cares about the well-being and happiness of every pet in our care. Our TOAH Pack Leaders are the heart of our boarding services and day-play program and provide invaluable support to our veterinary staff. If you’re passionate about animals and don’t mind getting dirty, you might be perfect for our pack!

Schedule:

• Full-time (30 hours), but flexible
• Must be available M–F between 7 AM – 7 PM
• Rotating weekends & holidays (required)

Requirements:

• 2 years kennel experience
• 1 year in a veterinary kennel setting
• Experience managing group play (12 dogs)
• Confident with both dogs & cats
• Able to lift 50lbs
• Comfortable in a loud, fast-paced environment
• Okay working in Florida heat, humidity & rain

Bonus Points For:

• Tech-savviness
• Experience with veterinary software (Avimark is a HUGE plus)

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Providing daily care for canine and feline boarding guests
• Supervising and actively managing canine group-play (12 dogs)
• Engaging dogs in structured play, exercise, and enrichment
• Monitoring behavior, ensuring safety, and maintaining a healthy pack dynamic
• Assisting with feeding, medications, and overall comfort of pets
• Creating fun moments through holiday events and themed play days
• Capturing photos/videos of our guests for social media

The Reality Check (Because We Keep It Real):

We absolutely love what we do, but it’s not all puppy kisses and cute photos! This role requires a strong work ethic. It is physically demanding, fast-paced, and at times can feel nonstop.

You’ll be:

• Cleaning kennels and hospital areas
• Handling potty-breaks and accidents (yes… poop happens!)
• Tackling what can feel like never-ending laundry

Some days are long, busy, and messy. But for the right person, it’s also incredibly rewarding. The bonds you build with our boarding guests and pet parents make the hard work truly worth it.

You’ll Thrive Here If You:

• Have strong communication skills
• Work hard without being asked twice
• Are a true team player
• Genuinely care about animal welfare and enrichment

Benefits (The Good Stuff):

• Flexible scheduling
• Paid holidays
• PTO
• Health & dental insurance options
• 401(k) matching
• Profit sharing
• Generous veterinary discounts for your personal pets

So, if you’re looking for a role where you can make a real difference in the lives of pets, we’d love to hear from you.
