Join Our Pet-Loving Team
Do you love working with dogs and cats? Want to be part of a trusted team that makes pets feel safe, loved, and at home?
We’re looking for a Full-Time Kennel Technician (internally called a Pet Pro) to join our team and care for our furry guests at their home away from home.
Who We Are
NVA Pet Resorts is part of National Veterinary Associates (NVA) — the largest private owner of veterinary hospitals and pet resorts in North America, with 1,300+ locations. We’re proud to be in an $8B+ industry that continues to grow as pet parents seek premium, trusted care for their furry family members.
At NVA Pet Resorts, our mission is simple: create safe, fun, and loving environments for pets while providing experiences for our clients and team members.

- Monitoring pet health, behavior, and interactions
- Documenting care notes and communicating with leadership
- Engaging pets in enrichment activities like fetch, walks, and basic obedience games
- Comforting shy guests and managing high-energy groups
- Laundry and general facility upkeep
- And yes — you’ll scoop poop, clean messes, o home with fur on your clothes, and probably get plenty of sloppy kisses.

- Gentle, patient, and safety-focused
- Comfortable supervising multiple dogs at once
- Able to recognize and prevent conflicts in playgroups
