Kennel Attendant A kennel is just a room until somebody makes it a home away from home. At Sharon Center Veterinary Hospital, that somebody is our Kennel Attendant, the person our boarding and daycare dogs are happiest to see all day. Between the big fenced play yard, the boarders settling in for the week, and the rehab patients working their way back to full speed, no two days here look the same, and every one of them matters to somebody's pet.
Sharon Center Veterinary Hospital has been caring for the pets of Medina and the surrounding communities since 1978. We're a full-service hospital for dogs, cats, and exotics, offering wellness care, surgery, dentistry, rehabilitation, grooming, doggie daycare, and boarding, which means the animals in our kennel are never an afterthought; they're part of the same standard of care as every patient in our exam rooms. If you want a place where kennel work is real animal care and treated that way, you'll fit right in here.
What You'll Help Make Possible
Pets that settle in, eat well, and rest easy because someone paid attention to the details of their stay
A play yard where every dog gets exercise, supervision, and a friend who knows their name
Daily care that happens on time, every time, so nothing about a pet's routine falls through the cracks
A hospital that opens every morning clean, stocked, and ready before the first patient arrives
The kind of stay that makes an owner say "she seems happier than when we dropped her off"
What We're Looking For:
Required
Comfort working around dogs and cats
Preferred
Prior animal care, boarding, kennel, or veterinary experience helps, but it isn't required. Everything this job takes can be learned here
Interest in growing within animal care or veterinary medicine
Schedule
Full-time, day shifts
8-hour shifts

Holidays included in the team rotation

If you're the person pets remember, we should talk. Apply today.
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.
