- Feeding pets according to their individual care instructions and ensuring fresh water is always available
- Walking dogs in our fenced in yard and providing supervised exercise, playtime, cuddle time, and enrichment activities
- Monitoring each pet's appetite, water intake, elimination, and overall well-being, reporting any concerns to the veterinary team
- Cleaning and disinfecting kennels, cages, runs, boarding areas, and play yards
- Washing bedding, towels, dishes, and toys to maintain a clean, healthy environment
- Preparing clean bedding and comfortable accommodations for every boarding guest
- Keeping track of each pet's belongings and ensuring they are returned home safely
- Assisting with cleaning throughout the hospital to maintain our high standards of care
- Monitoring supplies and notifying management when inventory is running low
- Assisting the veterinary team with basic animal care duties as needed
- Following all hospital safety procedures, cleaning protocols, and standards of patient care
- Working together as a team to provide compassionate, efficient, and exceptional service
