Job description

Join the dedicated team at Kim's K-9, where you'll work directly with dogs in a nurturing environment that embodies our core values of Dignity, Integrity, and Growth. As a Kennel Technician, you'll have the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of the dogs we care for and their owners, all while advancing your professional journey.


Our community is built on valuing every team member's contributions and fostering an atmosphere of support and collaboration. If you're passionate about animals and excited to be part of a positive, dynamic team, we invite you to take the next step.


In this role, you'll be essential in maintaining a clean, safe, and enriching space for our canine companions. Your focus on teamwork and communication will ensure each dog receives the highest standard of care and attention. We offer full-time and part-time schedules with consistent hours, paid training, and opportunities for advancement.


Ten-hour days mean more days off every week, and a set schedule means you can plan ahead and enjoy your life outside of work just as much as you enjoy this job! Enjoy benefits like free pet daycare, paid time off, and a supportive company culture.


Ready to join us? Submit your resume, complete the DISC test, and consider including a brief cover letter to begin your journey with Kim's K-9.

Compensation:

$14.50 - $15.50+ hourly DOE


Responsibilities:
  • Ensure the cleanliness and sanitation of kennels, play areas, and common spaces to provide a safe environment for our dogs.
  • Monitor the health and behavior of each dog, promptly reporting any concerns to the management team.
  • Engage with dogs through play and exercise, fostering a stimulating and enriching atmosphere.
  • Administer feeding and medication schedules accurately, ensuring each dog's dietary needs are met.
  • Collaborate with team members to coordinate daily tasks and maintain a seamless workflow.
  • Communicate effectively with pet owners, providing updates and addressing any questions or concerns.
  • Assist in training new team members, sharing knowledge and best practices to uphold our standards of care.

Qualifications:
  • Experience in working with animals, particularly dogs, in a professional setting.
  • Ability to manage and supervise groups of dogs of various sizes and temperaments.
  • Proven track record of maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong communication skills to effectively engage with team members and pet owners.
  • Ability to perform physical tasks such as lifting, pushing, pulling, and getting up and down off the floor.
  • Willingness to work 10-hour shifts with breaks, ensuring consistent care for our canine guests.
  • Experience in administering food and medication to animals is a plus, but not required.
