Welcome to Destination Pet. We are One Packa united team working together to elevate the love and lives of pet families. Our pet-obsessed professionals create a connected care network of trustworthy partners who bring creative innovation every day. We are revolutionizing the pet industry. Join us!

Can you manage a mop, a medication chart, and a mob of muttssometimes all at once? If you're the go-to friend for pet advice and pep talks, it's time to step into a role that lets you lead with both your heart and your hustle.

At Destination Pet, we're not just another Pet / Vet care centerwe'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 it's belly rubs or brushing, our goal is simple : make pets feel at home and their humans feel at ease.

Part-time health, mental health, and telehealth benefits. Pay starts at $15.00$17.00 / hour DOE + tips (that's 'depending on experience'and no, 'being best friends with your dog' doesn't count as experience unless your dog writes a letter of reference).

Reporting to : General Manager

What You Should Know :

  • You'll be on your feet most of the shiftstanding, walking, climbing stairs, and handling leashed dogs.
  • Must be able to lift up to 40 lbs (sometimes it's a crate, sometimes it's a sleepy bulldog).
  • 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.

What You'll Be Doing (Besides Keeping the Shift Running and the Tails Waggin') :

  • Leading the pack during your assigned shiftscoaching, guiding, and setting the tone for pet care excellence.
  • Working alongside Animal Care Attendants to ensure safety, cleanliness, and a whole lot of tail wags.
  • Training new hires on proper pet handling, procedures, and how not to get jumped by five doodles at once.
  • Monitoring pet guests for health, safety, and general cuteness; reporting anything off to the General or Assistant Manager.
  • Serving up food, fresh water, and daily TLC to every furry guest.
  • Overseeing meds and special needs guests (bonus points if you're med-savvy or CPR trained).
  • Bathing and brushing our four-legged VIPs (Very Important Pups).
  • Making sure the place is clean, cozy, and smells less like a wet dog and more like 'spa day at the kennel.'
  • What You Bring to the Table :

  • You're obsessed with animals and it shows. (We see you, covered in pet hair and proud.)
  • Previous work experience in animal care? Yes please.
  • Med administration experience? Even better.
  • You lead by examplewhether it's scooping, scrubbing, or stepping in when things get off track.
  • Calm under pressure (even when someone mistakes your shoelace for a chew toy).
  • Confident in guiding and supporting teammates to do their best.
  • CPR training is a big plus (but we can help with that too).
  • High school diploma required.
  • Ready to level up your pet care career? If you've got the heart of a caretaker and the soul of a team leader, grab the leash and let's go!
