Job Description


Certified Veterinary Technician (RVT) — Join Our Squad!

Love animals and getting into the hands-on, technical side of patient care? If you’re all about top-tier treatment, educating pet parents, and working with a team that actually has your back, keep reading.

We’re looking for a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) who’s skilled, motivated, and ready to make a real impact—both in the clinic and with our clients.

What You’ll Be Doing

You won’t just be “assisting”—you’ll be a key player in patient care:

  • Break down medical info into clear, helpful guidance for pet owners
  • Execute treatment plans with precision (medications, therapies, follow-ups)
  • Assist in diagnostics like radiography, lab work, and sample collection
  • Monitor anesthesia + vitals during surgical procedures
  • Maintain accurate digital medical records and documentation
  • Support smooth clinic flow—from appointments to inpatient care
  • Collaborate with DVMs and teammates to deliver consistent, high-quality care
Your Skill Set (Tech + People Skills)

We’re looking for someone who’s not just certified—but confident in their technical abilities:

Proficient in:
  • Venipuncture & catheter placement
  • Lab diagnostics (bloodwork, urinalysis, cytology basics)
  • Digital radiology + imaging support
  • Anesthesia monitoring equipment (pulse ox, capnography, ECG)
  • Comfortable using veterinary software
  • Strong understanding of animal handling, restraint techniques, and patient safety
  • Ability to multitask in a fast-paced clinical environment without sacrificing accuracy
  • Clear communicator—able to translate “vet speak” into real-world language for clients
  • Team-first mindset with a positive, professional vibe
Qualifications
  • Graduate of an accredited Veterinary Technician program (Associate Degree)
  • Passed the VTNE + active/eligible RVT license
  • Previous experience in a veterinary setting preferred
  • Passion for patient care and client education (non-negotiable )
  • Must be available to work Monday–Friday with one weekday off, plus rotating Saturdays
What You Get
  • Competitive pay + solid benefits
  • Growth opportunities (we want you to level up)
  • A genuinely supportive team environment
  • Daily serotonin boosts from adorable patients
  • A workplace where your skills actually matter
Ready to Apply?

If you’re looking for more than just a job—and want to be part of a team that’s making a difference every day—we’d love to meet you.

Apply today and let’s do great work together.
