As you join our mission to provide high quality services for pets in the community while providing excellent client communication and delivering the best possible care to animals, expect to be supported in your work and personal life with:

A schedule that respects your time. You will be scheduled 4 days per week, typically consisting of three 10-hour shifts and one 6-hour shift. During each 10-hour shift, you'll have a 2-hour lunch break and a 1-hour dinner break, allowing you to see pets for about 7 hours each day (charting/call-backs is built into your day). You will typically work 9am-8pm, 8am-2pm, or 2pm-8pm. We recognize the importance of work/life balance and are open to being flexible and adjusting your schedule to accommodate your needs.
A 2:1 staff to doctor ratio. You will have the support-and respect-you need to be excellent for our patients. We've got your back. Currently, we have 6 DVMs, 13 licensed technicians, 4 assistants, and 7 CSRs on our team.

Additionally, for each extra shift you work beyond your regular schedule, you'll earn an additional PTO day, which can be rolled over to the following year if unused. Additionally, you'll receive designated days specifically for continuing education. As we're open 7 days a week, including holidays, you'll need to work 2 holidays per year (shorter shifts, 10am-6pm). The schedule is posted in January, and we use a rotating system to avoid assigning major holidays every year.
Partnership opportunities through Veterinary Practice Partners (VPP), where more than 125 veterinarians co-own practices across 166 locations in 30 states. VPP offers unmatched support in operations, marketing, and finance, allowing you to focus on your passion for veterinary medicine.
