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.
Ready to join us? Apply today and bring your passion for animals and people to a team that shares it.
