Veterinarian | Float

NYC Float Veterinarian

Small Door is membership-based veterinary care designed with human standards that is better for pets, pet parents, and veterinarians alike. We designed and delivered a reimagined veterinary experience via a membership that includes exceptional care, 24/7 telemedicine, and transparent pricing - delivered with modern hospitality in spaces designed by animal experts to be stress-free. We opened our flagship location in Manhattan's West Village in 2019 and have quickly expanded across the East Coast. Small Door now operates in New York City, Boston, Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia with continued expansion plans in 2026.

Doctors at Small Door are part of a supportive and collaborative network invested in their growth. With 30-60 minute appointments, dedicated administrative time daily, skilled veterinary nurses assisting with callbacks and much more, Small Door is proud to be a sustainable place to work and thrive.

Our NYC Float Veterinarian will work four 10-hour days per week, traveling amongst select NYC practices, and will report directly to our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Jamie Richardson. This is an especially exciting opportunity for someone who wants to explore different areas of NYC, and eventually settle into a home practice.
