Rock Hill, United States | Posted on 02/25/2026

Secure your future now: Join us as we transition into our new facility in 2026!

Catskill Veterinary Services is seeking a full-time General Practice Veterinarian to join our growing team. We are specifically encouraging Class of 2026 and 2027 Graduates to apply.

If you are a new graduate, you don't have to choose between a "boring" vaccine clinic and a "sink-or-swim" ER. We offer the best of both worlds. You will build long-term relationships with clients in our Primary Care service at our Rock Hill and Middletown locations, while having immediate access to our Emergency and Advanced Care teams for your complex cases.

WE ARE PROUDLY VETERINARIAN-FOUNDED & OWNED. We are run by veterinarians who understand that General Practice is the backbone of veterinary medicine. We prioritize clinical excellence, realistic scheduling, and the well-being of our team.

• Impressive Earning Potential: Salary range of $100,000 - $200,000 (based on experience, schedule, and production).
• Built-In Career Path: Your interests might evolve, and that’s okay! Want to do more than GP after a while? You don't need to look elsewhere. Whether you want to transition into ER, focus on Advanced Care, or take on a leadership role, you have a built-in career path at Catskill Vet. There is room to grow here.
• Production Bonuses: Significant additional earning potential based on revenue (with no negative accrual).
• Real Mentorship: We will help you master dentistry, soft tissue surgery, and internal medicine workups at a pace that builds confidence, not anxiety.
• Future Growth: We are breaking ground on a brand new, state-of-the-art hospital opening in 2026. (Class of 2026: You could start your career in a brand new building!)

About Catskill Veterinary Services

We are the primary hub for veterinary care in Sullivan County, the Hudson Valley, and beyond. We are a "Full Scope" network designed to support the patient at every stage of life.

• Our Network: Your General Practice home base will be in Rock Hill or Middletown, where we focus on comprehensive wellness and primary care. We also operate a location in Newburgh focused on Emergency & Advanced Care, giving you a robust internal referral network.
• The "Full Scope" Safety Net: One of the scariest things for a new GP is a crashing patient. Here, you have an internal ER team to back you up. If your wellness exam reveals a surgical emergency, you have the support to handle it or transfer it internally.
• Honoring the Bond: General Practice is where the Human-Animal Bond is built. You will see patients from their first puppy visit to their golden years. We are deeply committed to supporting the owners who trust us with their family members.

Your Role: GP with a Safety Net

We actively encourage learning, asking questions, and a collaborative experience.

• The Caseload: You will manage preventative care, dermatology, dentistry, soft tissue surgery, and internal medicine.
• The Culture: We will meet you with the energy and drive you bring to the table. If you want to become a dentistry wizard or an ultrasound pro, we will provide the resources to get you there.
• Safe to Ask: We foster a culture where "I don't know, can you help me?" is a strength. You will never be judged for consulting with a colleague.

The Dream Team Support System

Focus on being a Doctor. We’ll handle the rest. New grads often burn out because they are doing tech work. Not here.

• Licensed & Capable: You will be supported by Licensed Veterinary Technicians (LVTs) and highly experienced assistants. They draw the blood, place the catheters, and induce anesthesia so you can focus on the medicine and the client.
• Floor-Savvy Management: Our management team comes from the floor. They know how to manage a schedule to keep the day running smoothly and protect your workflow.

Life in the Hudson Valley

Work where you love to live. No matter where you choose to settle in the beautiful Hudson Valley, you are in an incredible place to call home.

• Ideally Located: We are a short, scenic drive to NYC. You can enjoy the city culture on your days off, but live in an area with a lower cost of living, more land, and less traffic.
• The Good Life: The Hudson Valley is the food and drink capital of New York State. Enjoy farm-to-table dining, world-class wineries, and a vibrant art scene (Storm King, Dia:Beacon, Bethel Woods).
• Outdoor Access: Decompress after a shift by hiking Minnewaska, kayaking the Hudson or Delaware Rivers, or skiing in the winter.

What You Need to Excel

• DVM/VMD Degree: Required (or upcoming graduation in 2026 or 2027).
• NYS License: Current license (or ability to obtain one).
• Ambition & Attitude: A desire to learn and grow. We are looking for team players who want to be part of a supportive medical family.
• Client Connection: The ability to educate pet owners. In GP, your biggest tool is your communication.

The Benefits Package

We take care of our people so they can take care of the pets.

• Generous Paid Time Off (PTO): We believe in time off to recharge.
• Flexible Scheduling: We work with you to create a schedule that fits your life.
• Continuing Education (CE): Annual CE allowance and paid days off—we want you to bring new skills back to the team!
• 401(k) with employer match.
• Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance.
• Professional Fees Paid: NYS License, DEA, PLIT, and AVMA/NYSVMS dues.
• Uniform Allowance: Scrubs/lab coats provided.
• Employee Discounts: Generous discounts on pet care for your own pets.

Launch your career with a team that values mentorship and the bond we share with our pets.

Catskill Veterinary Services is an equal opportunity employer.
