Kennel Attendant

Overview

Kennel Attendant | Medina, Ohio

A kennel is just a room until somebody makes it a home away from home. At Sharon Center Veterinary Hospital, that somebody is our Kennel Attendant, the person our boarding and daycare dogs are happiest to see all day. Between the big fenced play yard, the boarders settling in for the week, and the rehab patients working their way back to full speed, no two days here look the same, and every one of them matters to somebody's pet.

About the Practice

Sharon Center Veterinary Hospital has been caring for the pets of Medina and the surrounding communities since 1978. We're a full-service hospital for dogs, cats, and exotics, offering wellness care, surgery, dentistry, rehabilitation, grooming, doggie daycare, and boarding, which means the animals in our kennel are never an afterthought; they're part of the same standard of care as every patient in our exam rooms. If you want a place where kennel work is real animal care and treated that way, you'll fit right in here.

What You'll Help Make Possible

• Pets that settle in, eat well, and rest easy because someone paid attention to the details of their stay
• A play yard where every dog gets exercise, supervision, and a friend who knows their name
• Daily care that happens on time, every time, so nothing about a pet's routine falls through the cracks
• A hospital that opens every morning clean, stocked, and ready before the first patient arrives
• The kind of stay that makes an owner say "she seems happier than when we dropped her off"
