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. Since 2016, we’ve been serving up best-in-show care from coast to coast with day care, boarding, grooming, training, veterinary services, and more. Whether its belly rubs or brushing, our goal is simple: make pets feel at home and their humans feel at ease.

Perks & Pay:

Part-time health, mental health, and telehealth benefits.

Pay starts at $16.50 - $17.00 /hour DOE + tips

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.

• A cool, calm, and professional demeanor—even when a Great Dane steals your mop.
• A willingness to get your hands dirty (literally).
• High schoolers, college students, second-job hustlers—we’ve got room in the pack.

What You'll Be Doing (Besides Making Furry Friends for Life):

• Keeping pet enclosures and play areas spotless, safe, and sanitized (because nobody likes a stinky litter box).
• Serving up meals and fresh water like a 5-star pet resort concierge.
• Monitoring the health, happiness, and, yes, poop of every pet guest—because details matter.
• Reporting anything unusual to the General or Assistant Manager (you’ll be their eyes and ears).
• Supervising playtime, tail-wagging, and the occasional game of fetch.
• Assisting with brushing and bath time (rubber ducky optional).
• Handling laundry and belongings so every pet has clean snuggly stuff.
