About this role
Lead the Team That Cares for Our Patients
At Riverview Animal Clinic, our mission is simple: Exceptional Patient Care — for each client and patient, each and every time. We're looking for an experienced, compassionate, and organized Animal Care Supervisor to lead our Boarding & Animal Care team and help us live that mission every day.
If you're someone who loves animals, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and knows how to bring out the best in a team — we'd love to meet you.
What You'll Do
As Animal Care Supervisor, you'll be the operational heart of our boarding department, leading a team of kennel attendants while rolling up your sleeves right alongside them. Your day-to-day will include:
• Leading your team — scheduling, training, coaching, and building a culture of professionalism and compassion
• Caring for our patients — overseeing feeding, medications, enrichment, and monitoring for every animal in our care
• Keeping things running smoothly — managing SOPs, supply inventory, sanitation protocols, and facility upkeep to AAHA standards
• Serving our clients — being a trusted point of contact during check-in, check-out, and everything in between
• Thinking ahead — preplanning for high-volume periods, identifying workflow improvements, and keeping the team efficient and prepared
What We're Looking For
Required:
• 1–2 years of experience in a kennel, veterinary clinic, animal shelter, or similar setting
• At least 1 year in a supervisory or management role (hospitality/hotel leadership experience considered)
• High school diploma or GED
• Strong communication skills and sound judgment around animal behavior and safety
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs independently and safely handle animals of all sizes and temperaments
Preferred (not required):
• Fear Free or low-stress handling certification
• Experience developing SOPs or training materials
• Familiarity with veterinary practice management platforms
• Post-secondary coursework in animal science, vet tech, business, or hospitality
Schedule & What to Expect
This is a working supervisory role — you'll be in the mix with your team every shift. The schedule includes:
• Saturday availability (required)
• Rotating Sunday and holiday shifts shared equitably with the team
• Possible early morning or evening shifts based on boarding needs
Why Riverview?
We're a team that leads with compassion, communicates honestly, and takes genuine pride in the care we provide. You'll work alongside a collaborative veterinary medical team and practice leadership that supports your growth and values your leadership.
