THE ROLE
We’re hiring two part-time Veterinary Assistants to join our team. You’ll be an essential part of daily patient care, working directly alongside our DVMs and Registered Veterinary Technicians. No two days look exactly the same — and that’s what makes this role so rewarding.

- Prepare and administer medications under clinical supervision
- Collect patient histories and intake information from clients

- Keep the clinic clean, organized, and running smoothly — laundry, sanitation, stocking
- Be a calm, reassuring presence for pets and their people
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
- Prior experience in animal care, a veterinary setting, or a related field — preferred, but not required. We’ll invest in the right person.
- A genuine love for animals and the patience that comes with it
- Reliable, detail-oriented, and comfortable in a fast-paced clinical environment
- Strong communication skills — with clients and teammates alike
- Vet tech students are warmly encouraged to apply — hands-on hours matter here
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

- 18–30 hours/week with flexible scheduling to fit your life
- Generous employee pet discount — because your fur family matters too
