Kennel Technician (Pet Pro)
Join Our Pet-Loving Team
Do you love working with dogs and cats? Want to be part of a trusted team that makes pets feel safe, loved, and at home?
We’re looking for a Full-Time Kennel Technician (internally called a Pet Pro) to join our team and care for our furry guests at their home away from home.
Who We Are
NVA Pet Resorts is part of National Veterinary Associates (NVA) — the largest private owner of veterinary hospitals and pet resorts in North America, with 1,300+ locations. We’re proud to be in an $8B+ industry that continues to grow as pet parents seek premium, trusted care for their furry family members.
At NVA Pet Resorts, our mission is simple: create safe, fun, and loving environments for pets while providing experiences for our clients and team members.
What You’ll Do
As a Pet Pro, you’ll be hands-on in both daycare and boarding, providing safe, loving care while keeping our resort clean and welcoming.
Your day may include:

Monitoring pet health, behavior, and interactions
Documenting care notes and communicating with leadership
Engaging pets in enrichment activities like fetch, walks, and basic obedience games
Comforting shy guests and managing high-energy groups
Laundry and general facility upkeep
And yes — you’ll scoop poop, clean messes, o home with fur on your clothes, and probably get plenty of sloppy kisses.
What We’re Looking For
We’re seeking someone who is:
Passionate about dogs and cats
Gentle, patient, and safety-focused
Comfortable supervising multiple dogs at once
Able to recognize and prevent conflicts in playgroups
Detail-oriented with strong documentation habits
Friendly and comfortable speaking with pet parents
Reliable, punctual, and team-oriented
You must be able to:
