Kennel Attendant

Encore Vet Group • Montville Township, OH

4d • Onsite

About The Position

A kennel is just a room until somebody makes it a home away from home. At Sharon Center Veterinary Hospital, that somebody is our Kennel Attendant, the person our boarding and daycare dogs are happiest to see all day. Between the big fenced play yard, the boarders settling in for the week, and the rehab patients working their way back to full speed, no two days here look the same, and every one of them matters to somebody's pet. Sharon Center Veterinary Hospital has been caring for the pets of Medina and the surrounding communities since 1978. We're a full-service hospital for dogs, cats, and exotics, offering wellness care, surgery, dentistry, rehabilitation, grooming, doggie daycare, and boarding, which means the animals in our kennel are never an afterthought; they're part of the same standard of care as every patient in our exam rooms. If you want a place where kennel work is real animal care and treated that way, you'll fit right in here.
