We’re currently sniffing out our next Animal Care Attendant at Pet Palace Columbus Airport

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

Perks & Pay:

Telehealth, 401K, Pet Insurance

Pay starts at $12.00-$14.00/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 (golden retrievers don’t walk themselves to the tub).
• 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.
• 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. (We get it. We’re the same.)
• 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 (because nobody likes a stinky litter box).
• 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 (you’ll be their eyes and ears).
• Supervising playtime, tail-wagging, and the occasional game of fetch.
• Assisting with brushing and bath time (rubber ducky optional).
• Handling laundry and belongings so every pet has clean snuggly stuff.
• Making tails wag. That’s the real goal here.
• Other duties as assigned
