Pet Check-In Captain

Enjoy staying cool, leading the charge, and working a laptop like a pro?
Come be the friendly face commanding our check-in process! You'll greet clients as they arrive for surgery drop-off, pick-up, or vaccination appointments, help keep them organized, and manage our computer-based check-in system—all from the comfort of our enclosed booth, equipped with fans and a small A/C unit.

Using a laptop and spreadsheet, you’ll ensure a smooth, timely flow by checking pets in and providing clear directions. Clients pull into specific parking lanes based on their service, and you’ll guide them to the correct lane after check-in while coordinating with our Pet Arrival Coordinator volunteer to keep everything running smoothly.

Ideal Volunteer Traits:

• Prompt and dependable.

• Great with multitasking and staying organized in a fast-paced environment.

• Comfortable using laptops, spreadsheets, etc.

• Excellent communicator—speaks with clients in a clear, calm, and compassionate manner.

• Able to work independently and make quick decisions.

• Bilingual (Spanish & English) volunteers are a huge plus (but not required!).

Volunteer Responsibilities Include:

• Greeting clients, inquiring about their service, and keeping them organized.

• Checking clients in using a laptop and online spreadsheet.

• Answering client questions with warmth and professionalism (radioing to front desk as needed).

• Coordinating with the parking lot greeter to maintain flow.

• Guiding vehicles to correct parking lanes.

• Supporting our amazing PRCKC team by helping check-ins run smoothly.

Want to bring a friend or partner to volunteer with you? Even better!

If you have someone who'd like to join you, they can fill the Pet Arrival Coordinator position and together you'll run the whole parking lot operation like pros! Just let us know ahead of time so we can ensure no one is scheduled for that role, and we'll get your guest signed up.
