Animal Care Supervisor

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.
