Talk about being in the center of everything! Mercer Island is a suburb sitting in the middle of Lake Washington just outside the city of Seattle, and it’s a wonderful place to call home. We’re known for low crime, excellent schools, an inclusive, vibrant community, and of course the best possible access to lake sports like boating, kayaking, and swimming. Our own downtown has wonderful restaurants and pubs, but if you need a city fix, everything Seattle has to offer is just minutes away.

And, of course, nearly everyone here loves animals, so you’ll feel very at home.

We want to provide clients and their pets with the kind of exceptional care and service they cannot get anywhere else—so it’s important that you’re as good with people as you are with pets. This means you should be someone who:

• enjoys educating and connecting with people
• communicates effectively
• will advocate for patients
• is licensed and has demonstrable technician and animal handling skills
• is reliable and trustworthy
• shows adaptability and resilience

Cara Veterinary is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome and celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all team members.

• Put pets first. Our first priority is always with the health, happiness, and comfort of our patients. We have designed the Cara experience with the animal perspective in mind. And our care advice is based only on what is best for the pet.
• Trust the parent. We believe that caring for an animal is a partnership built on mutual trust and humility. We trust parents to make the right decisions for themselves and their pets and invite them to actively participate in care alongside us.
• Authentically human. Caring for a pet involves the full spectrum of emotions, from joy to grief. We must lean into openness, empathy, and compassionate listening. We know when to be fun, and when to be serious. At all times, we foster supportive, positive, and authentically human hospital culture.
• Good neighbors. Although our business is growing, we retain the attitude and spirit of a neighborhood vet. We welcome people in. We get to know our clients' families and are proud to play an active role in our local communities.
• Shake things up. We are always looking for a better way. In an industry that hasn't seen a lot of innovation, we are experimenting with new ways of delivering care, delighting customers, providing unexpectedly human (and animal) touches, and infusing our hospitals with fresh ideas.
