Veterinary Kennel Assistant

Job Description

Job Description

Love animals? This might be the job for you!

Embassy Veterinary Center on Emory Road is looking for an energetic, dependable, and animal-loving Kennel & Daycare Assistant to join our team.

No experience? No problem — we'll train you! Veterinary, kennel, or dog daycare experience is a plus, but we're much more interested in your attitude, work ethic, and willingness to learn.

What You'll Do

You'll help care for our boarding and daycare pets while keeping their environment clean, safe, and fun.

Responsibilities include:

• Supervising and interacting with dogs in daycare

• Managing safe group play and recognizing when dogs need breaks

• Walking, exercising, and providing enrichment for boarding pets

• Feeding pets and providing fresh water

• Caring for cats and other boarding animals

• Cleaning and disinfecting kennels, daycare areas, and common spaces

• Monitoring pets for changes in behavior or health

• Administering medications as directed

• Taking photos and providing updates for boarding clients

• Working with the veterinary and client service teams

What We're Looking For - We want someone who is:

• Reliable and punctual

• Comfortable handling dogs of different sizes and personalities

• Energetic and able to stay active throughout the day

• Comfortable with cleaning and getting a little messy

• Patient and compassionate with animals

• A team player who communicates well

• Willing to learn and take direction

You don't need to know everything on day one. We'll teach you the rest.

Work-Life Balance

We believe work should be part of your life — not your entire life.

We strive to provide a supportive schedule that allows our team to enjoy their time outside of work. Some weekend and holiday shifts are required due to boarding, but we understand that our employees have lives, families, school, and plans outside the hospital.

What We Offer

• 401(k)

• Health insurance

• Dental & vision insurance

• Paid time off

• Employee discount

• On-the-job training

• Hands-on animal experience

• Opportunities to learn more about veterinary medicine

• A fun, supportive team environment

Every Day Is Different.

One day you're supervising a pack of daycare dogs, the next you're caring for a senior boarding pet or helping the veterinary team. If you love animals, enjoy staying busy, and want a job where you can learn something new every day, we'd love to meet you!
