The resort features spacious suites and offers personalized attention from experienced caregivers, along with a variety of enrichment activities that ensure pets enjoy a fulfilling and enjoyable stay. Four Paws Pet Hotel and Resort stands out as a leader in pet hospitality, giving pet owners peace of mind while their companions receive five-star treatment.
At Four Paws Pet Hotel and Resort, we are seeking a dedicated Veterinary Kennel Assistant to join our Junior Staff Member Kennel team. This team is essential to the well-being of our patients and supports the veterinary team by focusing on patient husbandry, care, and maintaining cleanliness and organization in the hospital. The Veterinary Kennel Assistant role involves administering medication, providing meals and exercise to boarding patients, monitoring animals for any medical or behavioral changes, and documenting observations with attention to detail. Additionally, this role requires ensuring that kennels, treatment areas, and common spaces are sanitized and well-stocked with supplies to maintain a safe and comfortable environment for all patients.
This position is suitable for individuals who are self-driven, detail-oriented, and enjoy cleaning and organizing.
