Job Description
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 DoingYou 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
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
- 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
- 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
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.
