Join Our Team at The Pet Doctors of Sherman Oaks

Are you a compassionate, motivated veterinarian ready to grow in a supportive, people-first practice? The Pet Doctors of Sherman Oaks is excited to welcome a new veterinarian to our 4-doctor team as we enter an exciting phase of growth and expansion.

Located in the heart of Sherman Oaks, CA—just north of Bel Air and west of Hollywood—our full-service animal hospital offers the best of both worlds: city convenience with a neighborhood feel. Sherman Oaks is known for its clean streets, beautiful parks, upscale shopping, and an outstanding quality of life that truly supports work-life balance.

We are a well-established 4-doctor practice preparing for a light renovation and hospital expansion, including the creation of additional employee space. These updates reflect our long‑term commitment to team wellbeing, collaboration, and sustainable growth.

Our hospital is led by a strong, approachable leadership team that prioritizes communication, mentorship, and team culture.

Medical leadership is guided by Dr.

C. Kollen Nellett, DVM, a graduate of the Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine and former U.S. Army veterinary intern at Fort Bragg. Dr. Nellett is a Certified Veterinary Mentor, having completed extensive training in leading with empathy and practicing open, transparent communication. She is deeply invested in mentoring new graduates and early‑career veterinarians, creating a psychologically safe environment where doctors can build confidence, grow clinically, and thrive as a team.

Supporting the hospital’s day‑to‑day operations is our Hospital Manager, Jessica, who brings over a decade of veterinary industry experience. Her steady leadership and operational expertise help ensure the hospital runs smoothly, allowing veterinarians to focus on excellent patient care.

Our modern, well‑equipped facility supports high‑quality medical, dental, surgical, and diagnostic care, all backed by an experienced support team and leadership that truly has your back.

• New graduates seeking strong mentorship and a supportive start to their careers
• Early‑career or seasoned veterinarians looking for stability and professional growth
• No overnights.
• No on‑call.
