As a member of the Client Experience Team, you are the first point of contact for clients and their pets, whether they are arriving for an emergency or an appointment. This role combines strong client service with administrative duties, ensuring a seamless and supportive experience for pet owners during what can often be stressful situations for them and their pets. Daily tasks center around communication with clients, the hospital staff, third parties like referring veterinarians, and the administrative tasks such as scheduling appointments and taking payments.

$19.95-$22 hourly for Client Service Representatives. Overnight and weekend differential pay is available for applicable shifts.

Client Service Representatives (CSR) work 3/4 rotating schedules with 10 hour shifts. This means you have a consistent schedule that makes planning the rest of your life easy, and you get 3 or 4 days off in a row every week! If you have other schedule needs, please feel free to reach out and start a conversation, we're always happy to discuss options.
