  • Provide love, attention, and professional care

  • Document visits & take wall worthy photos of the pets in our care

  • Grow into new roles and areas if interested; admin, marketing, training, social media, HR and more!

What You’ll Need:

  • 🗓 Availability at least 3 days/week (including 2 weekdays), with a 4+ hour block between 9AM–4PM
