- Keeping things running smoothly — managing SOPs, supply inventory, sanitation protocols, and facility upkeep to AAHA standards
- Serving our clients — being a trusted point of contact during check-in, check-out, and everything in between
- Thinking ahead — preplanning for high-volume periods, identifying workflow improvements, and keeping the team efficient and prepared

- At least 1 year in a supervisory or management role (hospitality/hotel leadership experience considered)

- Strong communication skills and sound judgment around animal behavior and safety
- Ability to lift up to 50 lbs independently and safely handle animals of all sizes and temperaments
Preferred (not required):

- Saturday availability (required)
- Rotating Sunday and holiday shifts shared equitably with the team
- Possible early morning or evening shifts based on boarding needs
