Are you dependable, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently?
We’re looking for a trustworthy Overnight Kennel Technician to care for our boarding guests while the resort is closed.
This is a quiet, independent shift focused on safety, monitoring, cleaning, and documentation.

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 exceptional experiences for our clients and team members
About the Overnight Role
During overnight hours, you are responsible for the safety and well-being of every pet in the building. You will often work independently and must be reliable and attentive.
This is not a high-traffic customer-facing role. It is a behind-the-scenes position requiring strong judgment, accountability, and consistency.
What You’ll Do
- Perform scheduled wellness checks on all boarding pets
- Monitor for signs of illness, stress, or distress
- Administer medications as directed
- Accurately prepare and serve meals
- Follow all special handling instructions carefully
- Document detailed notes for morning leadership review
- Clean and sanitize kennels, common areas, and equipment
- Perform laundry (bedding, towels, pet belongings)
- Prepare the resort for the morning team
- Alert leadership immediately if any safety or health concerns arise
You may also:
- Walk dogs for late-night or early-morning potty breaks
- Respond to barking or anxious pets calmly
- Ensure all doors, gates, and enclosures are secure
What We’re Looking For
This role requires someone who is:
- Extremely reliable and punctual (overnight shifts are difficult to cover)
- Comfortable working alone
- Trustworthy and accountable
- Detail-oriented with strong written communication skills
- Calm under pressure
- Physically capable of handling dogs of all sizes
- Comfortable cleaning and maintaining a sanitary facility
You must be able to:
- Work overnight hours consistently
- Lift up to 60 lbs

- Work in a quiet but sometimes noisy kennel environment
- Handle dogs of all sizes safely and gently
