Pet Care Technician / Boarding Assistant in Lansdale, Pennsylvania at North Penn Animal Hospital, Inc.

About the Role
We are looking for reliable, hardworking individuals who love animals and are ready to be part of a fast-paced veterinary boarding team. This role is perfect for high school students looking for responsibility and real-world experience, or for individuals returning to the workforce who want meaningful, hands-on work.

This is not a desk job. It is physically active and requires cleaning, attention to detail, and a strong sense of responsibility. In return, you will gain experience working with animals, develop independence, and be part of a supportive team.

What You’ll Do

• Care for dogs and cats staying in our boarding facility
• Clean kennels, cages, and hospital areas thoroughly (yes—this includes cleaning waste)
• Feed, walk, and monitor pets throughout the day
• Observe animal behavior and report any concerns to the medical team
• Do laundry (towels, bedding) and maintain a clean environment
• Assist with bathing and basic grooming when needed
• Help prepare pets for pickup so they go home clean and happy
• Support the team with daily tasks to keep the hospital running smoothly

What We’re Looking For

• Dependable and shows up on time
• Comfortable working independently and staying on task without constant supervision
• Willing to do hands-on, sometimes messy work
• Positive attitude and team player
• Loves animals but also understands this is a job with responsibilities
• Able to follow instructions and communicate clearly
• No experience required—we will train the right person

Why This Role is a Great Fit

• Flexible and structured work environment
• Great for students or those re-entering the workforce
• Opportunity to build responsibility, confidence, and work ethic
• Hands-on experience with animals in a medical setting
• Supportive team environment

Physical Requirements

• Standing, walking, bending, and lifting throughout the day
• Able to lift up to 50 lbs and assist with larger dogs
• Comfortable working around animals, noise, odors, and cleaning chemicals

Important Note
This job involves cleaning cages, handling animal waste, and working in a physically active environment. It is rewarding, but it is also hard work. We are looking for people who take pride in doing essential work well.
