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.

What You Should Know: • This is an on-your-feet, hands-on, sometimes-sweaty kind of job. • Must be able to lift up to 40 lbs (golden retrievers don’t walk themselves to the tub). • Availability on evenings, weekends, and holidays required pets don’t take days off. • Exposure to cleaning supplies, pet hair, and, ahem, “accidents” is part of the gig. • Must be able to be on feet for the duration of your shift. • Must be able to stand, walk and climb stairs frequently Reporting To: General Manager What You Bring to the Table: • A borderline-obsessive love for animals.
