Relief Weekend Veterinarian - Berkeley

We started Modern Animal in 2018 with a simple mission to build next-generation veterinary care by leveraging technology to improve the lives of pets, the people who love them, and the healthcare partners who take care of them. We're rethinking systems and processes to improve the efficiency of the veterinary clinic in meaningful ways, giving the veterinarian not only the time, support, and tools s/he needs to practice the best medicine possible, but making it easier for the client to access the care their pet needs, when they need it.


At Modern Animal, we put innovative veterinary thinkers and brilliant software engineers in the same room and asked them to build a new kind of veterinary experience from the ground up. The result? A job that will rekindle your love affair with veterinary medicine. Come join a group of highly-skilled individuals who are reinventing the people experience in veterinary medicine, both for clients and clinicians.


As Modern Animal expands our physical footprint, we're looking for a talented team of Relief Veterinarians to support our current hospital teams.

What does a Relief Veterinarian do:

• Deliver the highest standard of medical care to all Modern Animal patients
• See Modern Animal patients for scheduled and same-day, next-day appointments only, no surgery or dentistry
• Work alongside a hospital team that is empowered and trained to deliver an unparalleled client experience, both in-clinic and virtually
• Live and model the Modern Animal cultural vision by encouraging work/life balance, self-compassion, and a blame- and judgement-free work environment
