Description

Animal Care Attendant at Uberdog

Do 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 it's belly rubs or brushing, our goal is simple: make pets feel at home and their humans feel at ease.

Perks & Pay:

Part-time health, mental health, and telehealth benefits.

Pay starts at $17.00-$18.50/hour DOE + tips

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.
  • Availability on evenings, weekends, and holidays required.
  • Exposure to cleaning supplies, pet hair, and "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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Supervising playtime, tail-wagging, and the occasional game of fetch.
  • Assisting with brushing and bath time.
  • Handling laundry and belongings so every pet has clean snuggly stuff.
  • Making tails wag. That's the real goal here.
  • Other duties as assigned
