Overview
Where every tail wag, purr, and wet nose gets VIP treatment-and so do you.
At Cherokee Trail Veterinary Hospital we're not just a veterinary hospital we're a place where every pet is loved like family, and every team member plays a vital role in making that happen. We're looking for a Full-Time Kennel Attendant to join our growing team and help us provide a clean, safe, and happy environment for the pets in our care.
Why Join Cherokee Trail?
Because we go beyond basic. Our full-service hospital offers wellness care, surgery, new rehabilitation services and top-tier diagnostics-all delivered with a personal touch. We're proud to serve our community with compassion, integrity, and a sense of purpose. And when it comes to the pets who stay with us? They get all the love, comfort, and care we'd give our own.

- Keeping kennels, runs, and animal areas sparkling clean and sanitized
- Walking, playing with, and socializing dogs (tail wags guaranteed!)
- Helping bathe animals
- Monitoring animal behavior and reporting anything unusual
- Replenishing supplies (food, bedding, cleaning materials-you name it)
- Supporting our veterinary team with patient handling when needed
- Making sure every pet feels safe, seen, and cared for
You Might Be a Great Fit If:
- You have a heart for animals and a calm, patient approach
- You're reliable, positive, and great with people and pets
- You're a team player who thrives in a fast-paced environment
- You're ready to learn, grow, and roll up your sleeves
- You're cool with a little mess and a lot of movement (this is not a desk job!)
