The role of the Pet Care Team Member at The Petropolitan requires a self-motivated individual who thrives working independently but can also collaborate and communicate well with members of your team. This position requires a detail-oriented individual that can multi-task; one must be aware of the behavioral quirks of the guests they're supervising, attentive to any potential changes in the health and wellness of our guests and proactively rotate our guests through their scheduled activities throughout their shift.

Tasks may include: supervising play groups of guests while ensuring their safety and well-being, providing feline guests love and attention, walking dogs, cleaning and maintenance tasks, administering medications and preparing meals. This fun position requires a desire to learn, ability to listen, commitment to quality care, and a love for animals! The ability to stand for long periods of time, and continuous walking, bending & lifting is required.

Qualified Candidates have the ability to:
