Job Description

Love animals? Join a team where every day is paws-itively rewarding. At The Farm at Natchez Trace, we don't just care for pets—we create a premium, tail-wagging experience. Nestled on our beautiful property in Franklin (convenient to Bellevue and Fairview), we're looking for Full-Time Pet Handlers who are ready to bring energy, compassion, and a little extra spark to every shift. If you're self-motivated and love the idea of turning playtime, enrichment, and top-tier care into a career, you might be a perfect fit for our pack.

Your day-to-day will include:
Playtime & Enrichment:
Leading tail-wagging adventures like nature walks, fetch sessions, and personalized play that keeps our pups happy and thriving.
Daily Care & Comfort:
Serving meals, refreshing water bowls, and keeping a close eye on each pet's routine and wellbeing. Cat Care (Cattery Crew): Providing calm, attentive care for our feline guests—including playtime, snuggles (on their terms), and maintaining their cozy spaces.
Keeping It Fresh:
Maintaining a clean, polished environment so every guest enjoys a five-star stay.
