Job Description
Maple Lane Veterinary Clinic is currently seeking a kennel attendant to join our team. We are looking for a dependable, motivated individual who works well in a team environment while also being comfortable taking initiative and working independently. For those interested in pursuing a career in veterinary medicine, this position offers a valuable opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a supportive clinical setting. We are also proud to offer a very flexible scheduling structure. Key responsibilities include (but are not limited to) providing daily care for boarding pets and hospitalized patients, including feeding, cleaning, monitoring behavior, and ensuring overall comfort and well-being. Additional duties include bathing pets, assisting with basic animal care tasks, administering medications as directed, and maintaining a clean, organized, and sanitary hospital environment. Candidates must be comfortable handling and walking large dogs. While prior animal handling experience is not required, it is certainly beneficial. Our clinic takes pride in fostering a positive, team-oriented work environment that balances professionalism with a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. We value hard work, collaboration, and mutual support, and our team members are always willing to help one another learn and grow. We emphasize on-the-job training and skill development, making this an excellent opportunity for individuals new to the field. Our exceptionally low turnover rate reflects the strong culture we've built. This opening is available due to team members advancing in their careers, not dissatisfaction. Work hours may vary and can include split shifts depending on scheduling needs. Availability on weekends and holidays is required. Compensation is based on experience. If you are looking for a welcoming, growth-oriented workplace where you can develop your skills and be part of a dedicated team, we encourage you to apply.
