I would sanitize and disinfect pet enclosures and general boarding areas daily, as well as when they got checked out. I provide clean bedding and fresh water to each pet guest daily. Do visual check-ins through the day on the pets to make sure they were doing okay, and report any problems to the manager on duty. I would also maintain a clean environment for the customers, pets, and fellow employees.

Cleaning the cat and dog kennels. Helped the animals to get adopted as well as keep them engaged. Lead the customers around the shelter and pair them with animals that fit their needs. Customer and animal safety was my top priority. Although I was not able to work long, I learned many amazing things and met great people.
