Job description

Kennel Technician (Pet Pro)

Join Our Pet-Loving Team

Do you love working with dogs and cats? Want to be part of a trusted team that makes pets feel safe, loved, and at home?

We're looking for a Part-Time Kennel Technician (internally called a Pet Pro) to join our team and care for our furry guests at their home away from home.

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.

  • Documenting care notes and communicating with leadership
  • Engaging pets in enrichment activities like fetch, walks, and basic obedience games
  • Comforting shy guests and managing high-energy groups
  • Laundry and general facility upkeep
  • And yes - you'll scoop poop, clean messes, o home with fur on your clothes, and probably get plenty of sloppy kisses.

What We're Looking For

We're seeking someone who is:

  • Passionate about dogs and cats
  • Gentle, patient, and safety-focused
  • Comfortable supervising multiple dogs at once
  • Able to recognize and prevent conflicts in playgroups

You must be able to:

  • Stand, walk, bend, and lift up to 60 lbs
  • Work indoors and outdoors in various temperatures
  • Handle large and small dogs confidently
  • Work weekends and holidays
  • Be comfortable around pet messes and cleaning products

  • Part-Time
  • Weekend availability required
  • Monday-Friday shifts
  • Holiday shifts required
