What is an overnight kennel attendant?

Overnight kennel attendants are individuals responsible for the care and supervision of animals in a kennel facility during nighttime hours. Their duties typically include feeding, cleaning, monitoring the health and behavior of the animals, and ensuring their comfort and safety while owners are away. Overnight attendants may also administer medications, handle emergencies, and provide companionship to reduce animal stress. This role is important for facilities that offer 24-hour pet care and boarding services.

What are the typical responsibilities of an overnight kennel attendant?

Overnight kennel staff are primarily responsible for monitoring the well-being of animals throughout the night, which includes feeding, providing fresh water, administering medications if needed, and ensuring that kennels remain clean and secure. They perform regular checks to make sure all animals are comfortable and safe, and they are trained to respond to emergencies such as illness or escape attempts. Collaboration with daytime staff is essential for smooth shift transitions and consistent care, and overnight workers often document any notable events or issues to keep the team informed.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an overnight kennel attendant?

To thrive as an Overnight Kennel Attendant, you need experience with animal care, basic first aid for pets, and a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with kennel management software, surveillance systems, and cleaning equipment is often required. Attention to detail, reliability, and strong communication skills help ensure animal welfare and clear reporting to supervisors or pet owners. These abilities are crucial for maintaining a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for animals during overnight hours.

What is the difference between Overnight Kennel vs Pet Sitter?

AspectOvernight Kennel

Credential RequirementsMinimal; usually on-the-job training or basic pet care knowledge
Work EnvironmentDog/cat boarding facilities, kennels, or pet hotels
Employer & Industry UsagePet care facilities, kennels, pet hotels
Common Search/ComparisonOften compared for overnight pet care options

Overnight Kennel jobs typically involve caring for multiple pets in a kennel or boarding facility, focusing on providing a safe environment overnight. Pet Sitters usually care for pets in their owners' homes, offering personalized attention. While both roles require basic pet care knowledge, kennels often require less certification, whereas pet sitters may need references or certifications for in-home care. The choice depends on whether you prefer working in a facility or providing in-home pet care.

Job description

Overnight Kennel Technician

Full-Time | Overnight Shift

Are you dependable, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently?

We're looking for a trustworthy Overnight Kennel Technician to care for our boarding guests while the resort is closed. This is a quiet, independent shift focused on safety, monitoring, cleaning, and documentation.


Who We Are

NVA Pet Resorts is part of National Veterinary Associates (NVA) - the largest private owner of veterinary hospitals and pet resorts in North America, with 1,300+ locations. We're proud to be in an $8B+ industry that continues to grow as pet parents seek premium, trusted care for their furry family members.


At NVA Pet Resorts, our mission is simple: create safe, fun, and loving environments for pets while providing exceptional experiences for our clients and team members


About the Overnight Role

During overnight hours, you are responsible for the safety and well-being of every pet in the building. You will often work independently and must be reliable and attentive.


This is not a high-traffic customer-facing role. It is a behind-the-scenes position requiring strong judgment, accountability, and consistency.



What You'll Do

  • Perform scheduled wellness checks on all boarding pets
  • Monitor for signs of illness, stress, or distress
  • Administer medications as directed
  • Accurately prepare and serve meals
  • Follow all special handling instructions carefully
  • Document detailed notes for morning leadership review
  • Clean and sanitize kennels, common areas, and equipment
  • Perform laundry (bedding, towels, pet belongings)
  • Prepare the resort for the morning team
  • Alert leadership immediately if any safety or health concerns arise


You may also:

  • Walk dogs for late-night or early-morning potty breaks
  • Respond to barking or anxious pets calmly
  • Ensure all doors, gates, and enclosures are secure


What We're Looking For

This role requires someone who is:

  • Extremely reliable and punctual (overnight shifts are difficult to cover)
  • Comfortable working alone
  • Trustworthy and accountable
  • Detail-oriented with strong written communication skills
  • Calm under pressure
  • Physically capable of handling dogs of all sizes
  • Comfortable cleaning and maintaining a sanitary facility


You must be able to:

  • Work overnight hours consistently
  • Lift up to 60 lbs
  • Stand, walk, bend, and clean for extended periods
  • Work in a quiet but sometimes noisy kennel environment
  • Handle dogs of all sizes safely and gently


Work Schedule

  • Overnight shift
  • Weekend and holiday availability required


Benefits & Perks

  • Health, Dental & Vision Insurance
  • Paid Training
  • Employee Pet Care Discounts
  • Tips (where applicable)
  • Growth opportunities within NVA


Equal Opportunity Employer

NVA Pet Resorts is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace.
