Lead Animal Care Attendant - Jills Pet Resort

🎁 Perks & Pay:

*(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 shift—standing, 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.

• Based on the requirements of this position, all applicants must be 18 years or older.

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

• Leading the pack during your assigned shifts—coaching, 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.'

• Other Duties as Assigned.

🐾 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 example—whether 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).
