KENNEL ASSISTANT

Description

Kennel Attendant (Animal Care Crew)

Urban Veterinary Associates

$15–$16/hour | Entry-Level | Paid Training

Love animals? Hate boring jobs? Want coworkers who don’t suck?

We’re hiring a Kennel Attendant to help care for our hospitalized pets and keep our hospital running smoothly.

This is a hands-on, always-moving job where you’ll work with dogs, cats, and a team that actually supports each other.

What Your Day Looks Like

• Walking hospitalized dogs (fresh air included)
• Feeding pets and helping with basic meds (we train you)
• Cleaning kennels, cages, treatment areas, and surgery spaces
• Doing laundry (yes, lots of it — this is vet med )
• Giving hospitalized pets comfort, attention, and TLC
• Watching for anything “off” and telling the medical team
• Helping pets go home clean, comfy, and loved
  
  

No experience? Totally okay. We’ll teach you everything you need to know.

• The Schedule (Showing Up Matters)
  
  

This job only works if everyone shows up — our patients depend on it.

• Mon, Tues, Fri: 8:30 AM – 6:00 PM
• Wednesday: 8:30 AM – 7:00 PM
• 1–2 Saturdays/month: 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM
  
  

If you’re reliable, on time, and don’t ghost your job — you’re already winning.

Why People Like Working Here

We don’t just say we have values — we actually live them:

• Team wellness matters – we have each other’s backs
• Proactively free solo – see something? fix it. help out. jump in.
• Our reputation = trust – we do right by pets and people
• Perpetual improvement – learning is part of the job
  
  

Translation: no drama, no toxic vibes, just a solid team doing good work.

You’ll Be a Good Fit If You

• Genuinely like animals (even the messy, anxious ones)
• Can stay on your feet and move all day
• Are dependable and take responsibility seriously
• Want a job that actually matters
• Are curious about vet med, animal care, or healthcare (not required, just cool!)
  
  

Requirements

Real Talk

• You’ll lift up to ~50 lbs (help is always available)
• There will be smells, noise, fur, and bodily fluids
• Some pets are scared or spicy — we’ll teach you how to handle them safely
  
  

Why This Is a Great First Job

• Real veterinary hospital experience
• Learn animal handling and basic medical care
• Supportive team that teaches, not yells
• Looks great if you’re thinking about vet school, tech school, or animal science
  
  

If you want a job that’s fun, meaningful, and fast-paced — and you can consistently show up — we’d love to meet you.
