    Description

    Clinic Check-in - Mondays

    Our check-in volunteers are one of the first faces that clients and their pets see upon arrival the day of surgery, and we are looking for a few good folks!

    Are you an animal lover that is great with all types of people, organized, outgoing, and possibly looking for a bit of exercise? This might be a perfect opportunity for you!

    We are looking for one (1) special person to help weekly on Mondays to help get our clients and their pets checked in for surgery! Client check-in starts at 8:00 a.m. each day (arrival time of 7:45am) and shifts are generally a 2-2.5 hour commitment ending around 10:00-10:30 a.m. This shift is located at our headquarters in Minneapolis. This is a 4 to 6 month minimum commitment.

    The basic outline of the position includes, but not necessarily limited to, the following:

    • Greet clients and their pets from a distance to verify that are scheduled for the day and are at the correct time and door
    • Do a pre-check to make sure they have their required documents, ID and other necessary items
    • We are currently utilize a paging system, so the client receives a pager and waits in their car until they are paged by our vet tech to come into the building
    • Regulate the number of people going into the building (currently only 1 at a time)
    • Escort animals to the proper area or kennel
    • Label carriers or crates as needed
    • Give parking directions or other information
    • Please note this position includes working outside in varying weather conditions (can be inside between clients)
    If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
