Veterinary Assistant

$17 - $20 per hour

GoodVets

Who We Are:

GoodVets is a nationwide network of modern animal hospitals, co-owned with local veterinarians who are passionate about delivering gold-standard care. We sit at the intersection of quality-first medicine and people-first culture, providing a supportive, growth-minded environment for our teams—and unparalleled service for today's pet parents.

 

 

The Opportunity :

As a Veterinary Assistant, you are an essential part of our clinical team, supporting doctors and technicians in delivering excellent care while ensuring that our hospital environment is clean, well-stocked, and welcoming. Your attention to detail, compassion for animals, and strong work ethic contribute directly to the experience of every pet and client.

This is more than a support role—it's a hands-on opportunity to grow your skills, contribute meaningfully, and be a part of a collaborative, high-performing team.

 

 

What You'll Do :

  • Maintain clean, organized exam rooms, kennels, and treatment areas
  • Feed, walk, bathe, and monitor hospitalized and boarding patients
  • Safely restrain animals for exams, treatments, and procedures
  • Collect and label samples for diagnostic testing
  • Prepare surgical and exam rooms, including sterilization of instruments and equipment
  • Observe and report signs of illness, distress, or abnormal behavior
  • Keep exam and treatment areas fully stocked with necessary supplies
  • Assist with medication dispensing and ensure accurate patient records
  • Support technicians in prepping patients for surgery, imaging, and diagnostics
  • Stand, walk, and move throughout the hospital for extended periods; lift and carry up to 50 lbs
  • Work safely around anesthesia, radiation, and potential exposure to infectious diseases

 

 

Our Veterinary Assistants Have :

  • Previous experience in animal care or veterinary setting (preferred)
  • A compassionate, team-first attitude and strong communication skills
  • Ability to multitask and stay organized in a fast-paced environment
  • Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and holidays
  • A proactive mindset with a desire to learn and grow professionally

 

 

What We Offer:

  • Comprehensive Benefits Package: Medical, dental, and vision insurance to keep you and your family well—plus flexible spending options and disability coverage
  • 401(k) with a Company Match: A retirement plan that helps you plan ahead, with matching contributions to support your long-term goals
  • Generous Paid Time Off: Paid holidays, vacation days, and personal time to help you recharge and maintain a healthy work-life balance
  • Employee Discounts: Significant savings on veterinary care and products for your own pets at any GoodVets location
  • A Culture that Values You: Join a team that leads with empathy, prioritizes collaboration, and celebrates each other’s wins—big and small

 

 

Ready to take the next step in your career?

At GoodVets, you're not just a technician—you’re a vital part of redefining the veterinary experience.

Apply today and let’s build something exceptional—together.
