Team Lead Kennel Tech
Camp Green Dog
05.2021 - 02.2023
- Company Overview: Camp Green Dog is a well organized dog & cat boarding/daycare facility.
- I started as a kennel tech & quickly climbed my way up to the 'team lead' position, then started training to be a manager.
- Working 12pm-8pm shifts, we had a set schedule everyday to follow.
- I walked, fed, gave meds, & cared for all the daycare & boarding dogs.
- Once I got the team lead position, this included instructing the 'crew' of any extra tasks or cleaning that needed to be done, Training new staff members, fixing any lingering problems between the staff members, etc.
- When I started to train to be a manager, that meant that I worked the front of the facility with the customers, on the compute, answering any calls, scheduling appointment, taking care of all of the cats, and managing the staff working with the dogs in the back.
