DocuPet, the foremost provider of outsourced pet licensing services for municipalities across North America, is expanding rapidly. Our mission of providing a safe and happy home for every pet is of the utmost importance, and we need the help of amazing people to achieve this goal.

We have developed the most comprehensive pet licensing program in the market as we aim to solve what our industry calls “the licensing gap” - the fact that just 13% of pet owners comply with mandatory registration laws even though licensing provides real value to pet owners and is a key funding source for local animal care and control.

DocuPet has offices in Syracuse, NY and Kingston, ON. This role may be conducted from either of those offices or from a home office if necessary or preferred.

About the Role

The DocuPet solution includes an easy to use online licensing system, branded website and communications, real-time tracking and reporting, fulfillment and customer service, and value-added services for pet owners including our Lost Pet Alert System and Rewards Program. Our solution is evolving towards a micro services architecture.

Our Mission and Values

Each of us at DocuPet comes to work each day to move our organization closer to its ultimate mission: to provide a safe and happy home for every pet. We take our core values very seriously knowing that we only work well with those who see the working world as we do.

Go Big - We aim to do big things. We don’t aim to impress ourselves, or those around us, we aim to be the very best anywhere. We accept all challenges and we intend to win.

Whatever It Takes - We finish whatever we start. No excuses. It often means a lot of work, but it’s worth it because we are the types who don’t rest until the job is done.

Inspire - Our people and our business inspire those around us. Each employee has a job to do, and they do it with excellence and grace. They bring joy to everyone they meet.

Believe - Each of us is responsible for selling ourselves, our projects, our outcomes, and our efforts. We must be individually and collectively convicted in our actions. We sell our ideas, our services, and our products at every opportunity.

Respect - We work as a team. We treat each other the way we expect to be treated. We listen to all opinions and voices taking time for those with quieter personalities and those who take time to collect and share their ideas are heard. We accept differing viewpoints and are an inclusive company.
