Must Love Dogs? You’re in the Right Place!
Is your dating profile tagline “Must Love Dogs”? Do you wish someone would bottle the smell of puppy breath already? Are you happiest when wiping dog drool off of...well, everything?
If so, Merrifield Animal Hospital wants to talk!

You’ll spend your days interacting with animals, keeping their spaces clean and comfortable, and helping create the safe, healthy environment every pet deserves.

What Our Pet Care Attendants Do
What You’ll Bring
The Extras You’ll Actually Feel
This isn’t a sit-behind-a-desk kind of job. You’ll be moving, cleaning, caring, interacting, and probably wearing a little dog hair by the end of the day.
More importantly, you’ll know your work matters. From keeping enclosures spotless to making sure boarding and daycare guests feel safe and cared for, you’ll play an important role in creating a great experience for the animals entrusted to us.
If puppy breath, wagging tails, and the occasional bit of dog drool sound like workplace perks, you may have just found your people.
