Status: Part-Time Belly Rubber / Full-Time Life Saver
Are you fluent in meows, woofs, and the occasional side-eye from a sassy cat? Do your friends call you the “animal whisperer”? Can you rock scrubs like nobody’s business and clean up after a Great Dane like it’s no big deal? Then you might be the purr-fect fit for our team!
At Merrimac Valley Animal Hospital, we’re more than just a veterinary clinic — we’re a close-knit crew of animal lovers who believe in compassionate care, teamwork, and laughing through the fur and the chaos.

Comfort nervous pets (and their humans)
Prep surgical areas and sterilize instruments (you’ll be the behind-the-scenes MVP)
Handle a little bit of everything — from nail trims to puppy snuggles
Channel your inner Sherlock when it comes to patient symptoms
What We’re Looking For:
Experience preferred, enthusiasm required
Calm under pressure, quick on your feet, and not afraid of a little fur in your coffee
Team player with a sense of humor and a love for all creatures, great and small
Ability to lift 40 lbs and wrestle the occasional wiggly Labrador
Perks Include:
A supportive, drama-free team
Employee discounts on pet care (your fur-baby will thank you)
Plenty of puppy kisses and kitten purrs
Opportunity to grow in the veterinary field
Medical, dental, and vision insurance (you’re covered the first of the month after your start date!)
