About The Position

The Customer Service Representative (CSR) at Agape Pet Services is the primary, face-to-face representative of the company to veterinary clinics and, at times, pet parents. This role is not a desk job or a traditional driving role. The CSR works independently, manages a demanding route, and handles pets in emotionally sensitive situations with precision, professionalism, and care. This role is physically active, emotionally real, and operationally critical. The CSR is the link between Gateway and its veterinary partners, responsible for building and maintaining trusted clinic relationships, ensuring pets are handled and transported with dignity, executing pickups and deliveries accurately and on time, and protecting trust through professionalism and attention to detail. This is a relationship-driven role with high accountability, requiring independence, organization, and composure in sensitive environments. The CSR reports to the Care Center Manager and supports veterinary partners by providing professional, compassionate pickup and delivery services on an assigned route. This role requires exceptional accuracy, integrity, and sensitivity. The role focus is on delivering care, accuracy, and dignity, not sales.
