Do you love animals more than most people?

Can you juggle a cat, a clipboard, and a bottle of pet shampoo—all while keeping your cool?

If you thrive in organized chaos, speak fluent meow and woof, and want to help pets live their best lives, you might just be the unicorn we’ve been searching for.

🐕 What You’ll Do (a.k.a. Your Mission):

  • Assist veterinarians during exams and procedures without flinching (even with zoomies happening nearby)

  • Gently hold, comfort, and handle pets—from sassy cats to slobbery Saint Bernards

  • Prep exam rooms and equipment like the rockstar you are

  • Take vitals, collect samples, and pretend to understand what that grumpy cat is thinking

  • Clean and sterilize equipment, cages, and treatment areas with the precision of a CSI tech

  • Communicate with pet parents with empathy, honesty, and the occasional joke to lighten the mood

  • Administer medications, give baths, trim nails, and deliver treats like a pro

  • Be the calm in the storm and the treat in the pocket

🐾 Who You Are:

  • A true animal lover with the patience of a saint and the reflexes of a ninja

  • Experienced in animal handling or looking to gain hands-on clinical skills

  • Able to lift 40+ lbs (because Great Danes happen)

  • A great communicator who’s as good with people as you are with pets

  • Organized, dependable, and able to stay cool under fur-covered pressure

  • Bonus points if you can open a pill bottle with one hand while holding a wiggly pup in the other 🐕

🎉 Perks & Benefits:

  • Daily animal snuggles (and a few slobbery kisses)

  • Staff discounts for your own furry friends

  • PTO for full-time and part-time employees

  • On-the-job learning and growth opportunities in vet med

  • Supportive team who always has your back—and extra lint rollers

  • The joy of making a real difference for pets and the people who love them
