Experienced Veterinary Assistant

Join a Fear-Free, Community-Centered Team in California Wine Country

Are you an experienced Veterinary Assistant looking for a fulfilling role in a supportive, collaborative practice? Do you want to be part of a team that values quality care, continuous growth, and a strong community connection? If so, we’d love to meet you.

We’re a busy, well-established advanced general practice and urgent care clinic dedicated to delivering fear-free veterinary medicine with a focus on compassionate, high-quality care. Our team brings a wealth of experience in both general practice and urgent care, creating a great learning and support environment.

We’re not your average general practice. Our clinic offers a wide range of advanced services that keep our work exciting and our skills sharp:

• Advanced Surgery (TPLO, BOAS, C-Sections)
• Urgent Care & Emergency Triage
• Dentistry with radiographs
• Ultrasound & ECHO
• Comprehensive diagnostics (in-house and reference lab)

We’re proud of our advanced capabilities - and equally proud of the way we support each other every step of the way.

This is a full-time Veterinary Assistant role (4x10s schedule with mandatory Saturdays, 3 other weekdays flexible). You’ll be involved in assisting our doctors in both general practice and urgent care cases, with the support of a strong clinical and administrative team. We are looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is eager to learn and grow in their career.

Fear-Free certification or a passion for gentle handling is highly valued.

We take pride in showing up for our community, their pets, and each other. We believe veterinary care should be excellent and approachable. Our team is:

• Hardworking, outgoing, and silly (when appropriate!)
• Focused on personal and professional growth
• Built on trust, teamwork, and transparency
• Passionate about client communication and care

Even on our busiest days, we have each other’s backs — and we always make time to laugh.

The scenery, food, wine, and lifestyle. This is wine country at its finest. On your days off, you're surrounded by:

• World-famous wineries & restaurants
• Scenic trails and outdoor adventures
• Incredible cultural events and festivals
• A vibrant mix of locals and visitors from all walks of life

We serve a broad and diverse community - and they’re some of the kindest, most loyal pet parents you’ll ever meet.

Let’s talk. Apply today or reach out directly - we’d love to tell you more.

The pay range for this role is:
