At Destination Pet, we’re not just another Pet/Vet care center—we’re a community that lives to elevate the love and lives of pet families.

* A borderline-obsessive love for animals. (We get it. We’re the same.)
* Prior kennel or animal care experience is a plus, but if you're brand new and eager to learn—we want to meet you
* A cool, calm, and professional demeanor—even when a Great Dane steals your mop.
* A willingness to get your hands dirty (literally). What You'll Be Doing (Besides Making Furry Friends for Life):
* Keeping pet enclosures and play areas spotless, safe, and sanitized (because nobody likes a stinky litter box).
* Serving up meals and fresh water like a 5-star pet resort concierge.
* Monitoring the health, happiness, and, yes, poop of every pet guest—because details matter.
* Reporting anything unusual to the General or Assistant Manager (you’ll be their eyes and ears).
* Supervising playtime, tail-wagging, and the occasional game of fetch.
* Assisting with brushing and bath time (rubber ducky optional).
* Handling laundry and belongings so every pet has clean snuggly stuff.
* Making tails wag. That’s the real goal here.
