Love Pets, People, and a Job Where No Two Days Are Exactly Alike?

If you consider pet hair a fashion accessory and carry treats in your pockets “just in case,” you may have found your people.

We’re fun, supportive, collaborative, and fast-paced—and we’re looking for someone who loves animals, enjoys working with people, and knows that the best teams jump in for one another.

As our Pet Care Attendant / Customer Service Representative, you’ll be cross-trained in both front desk and pet care responsibilities, giving you the opportunity to make a difference for our clients, patients, and team throughout the hospital.

Why Our Pet Care Attendant / Client Service Representatives Love Working Here

• Monday–Friday schedule
• No nights, weekends, or holidays
• A supportive, collaborative, and team-oriented environment
• Cross-training in both customer service and animal care
• Opportunities to learn and continue building your skills

Around here, the people behind the medicine matter too. We believe in supporting one another and celebrating the moments—big and small—that make our team special.

What our Pet Care Attendant / Client Service Representatives Do

This hands-on, cross-trained role combines client service with compassionate animal care. You’ll help keep the front desk running smoothly while also supporting patients and maintaining a clean, safe environment.

Customer Service & Front Desk

• Greet clients and provide friendly, professional customer service
• Answer and manage a high volume of phone calls
• Schedule appointments and assist clients with questions and requests
• Maintain accurate patient records
• Document client communications
• Prioritize responsibilities and manage competing needs in a busy environment

Pet Care & Kennel

• Provide compassionate and attentive care to hospitalized patients
• Maintain clean, safe, and organized kennel areas
• Monitor patients and communicate concerns to the appropriate veterinary team members
• Follow hospital protocols for patient care, sanitation, and safety

What You’ll Bring

You don’t need to know everything on day one—we’re looking for someone who is dependable, compassionate, eager to learn, and ready to contribute to the team.

Our ideal candidate:

• Has a genuine love for animals and their well-being
• Enjoys teamwork and contributing to a positive workplace
• Has excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Is comfortable interacting with clients in person and over the phone
• Can stay organized and positive in a busy, fast-paced environment

• Is dependable and compassionate
• Is willing to learn and grow
• Is comfortable being cross-trained in both customer service and pet care responsibilities
• Is ready to jump in and support teammates when needed
• Has veterinary or customer service experience—a plus, but not required

The Extras You’ll Actually Feel

A great workplace isn’t just about the job—it’s about the people beside you.

At Salem Animal Hospital, we believe empathy should extend beyond our patients to our clients, coworkers, and ourselves. You’ll join a team that supports one another, works collaboratively, and makes time to recognize the moments worth celebrating.

You’ll also get something that can make a big difference in your week: a Monday–Friday schedule with no nights, weekends, or holidays. That means more predictability for your life outside the hospital while still building valuable experience in both veterinary client service and hands-on pet care.

And yes, pet hair on your clothes is probably inevitable. We consider it part of the uniform.
