Their duties may involve feeding, grooming, and exercising animals, cleaning cages and kennels, monitoring animals for signs of illness or distress, and providing comfort to anxious or distressed animals. They also maintain records of the animals' care, behavior, and any significant changes. They may also be tasked with administrative duties such as taking bookings, managing the kennel's schedule, and handling customer inquiries and complaints. In a veterinary facility, they may assist veterinarians or vet technicians in providing medical care.

Important skills for a Kennel Attendant include physical fitness, patience, good communication skills, and a genuine love for animals.
