About the role
Animal Care Attendant At The Yard DogDo you speak fluent "woof" or "meow"? Know the joy of puppy kisses and the chaos of a zoomie's session? If you're passionate about paws and ready to turn your love for animals into a rewarding job, we've got a tail-wagging opportunity for you. At Destination Pet, we're not just another Pet/Vet care center—we're a community that lives to elevate the love and lives of pet families. Since 2016, we've been serving up best-in-show care from coast to coast with day care, boarding, grooming, training, veterinary services, and more. Whether its belly rubs or brushing, our goal is simple: make pets feel at home and their humans feel at ease. Perks & Pay: Telehealth, 401K, Pet Insurance Pay starts at $13.00 - $15.00/ hour DOE + tips Access your earned wages anytime with DailyPay. What You Should Know: This is an on-your-feet, hands-on, sometimes-sweaty kind of job. Must be able to lift up to 40 lbs (golden retrievers don't walk themselves to the tub).Availability on evenings, weekends, and holidays required pets don't take days off. Exposure to cleaning supplies, pet hair, and, ahem, "accidents" is part of the gig. Must be able to be on feet for the duration of your shift. Must be able to stand, walk and climb stairs frequently
Reporting To: General Manager
What You Bring to the Table:
A borderline-obsessive love for animals. (We get it. We're the same.)Prior kennel or animal care experience is a plus, but if you're brand new and eager to learn—we want to meet you!
A cool, calm, and professional demeanor—even when a Great Dane steals your mop.
A willingness to get your hands dirty (literally).
What You'll Be Doing:
(Besides Making Furry Friends for Life):Keeping pet enclosures and play areas spotless, safe, and sanitized (because nobody likes a stinky litter box).Serving up meals and fresh water like a 5-star pet resort concierge.
Monitoring the health, happiness, and, yes, poop of every pet guest—because details matter.
Reporting anything unusual to the General or Assistant Manager (you'll be their eyes and ears).Supervising playtime, tail-wagging, and the occasional game of fetch.
Assisting with brushing and bath time (rubber ducky optional).Handling laundry and belongings so every pet has clean snuggly stuff.
Making tails wag. That's the real goal here.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
