Job description

**We are looking to fill both Full-Time and Part-Time positions**

It is Saturday evening when a family arrives with a dog who cannot stop limping. They are worried- their primary clinic is closed and they need someone who can turn a stressful moment into a clear next step. As a veterinary assistant at PriorityPet Urgent Care of Germantown, you help make that happen. Your calm restraint, careful observations, and reassuring communication give the doctor and technician team what they need to move quickly while helping a pet family feel supported from check-in through discharge.

PriorityPet fills the space between routine appointments and the emergency room, providing walk-in care for urgent, non-life-threatening needs when many primary practices are closed. Open seven days a week with evening and weekend hours, our Germantown hospital was designed around modern urgent care. You will work with in-house laboratory capabilities, digital radiology, ultrasound, and advanced surgical suites in a brand-new facility. Just as important, you will join a compassionate, collaborative veterinary team that shares information, jumps in for one another, and treats every pet as family. Clients describe the practice as a welcome resource for the community, and ourteam as attentive, timely, and compassionate.

This focused schedule can leave weekdays open for school, family, or other priorities. Here you will receive support from experienced doctors, skilled technicians, and fellow assistants, plus virtual and hands-on training that helps you master your role and prepare for your next move. As PriorityPet grows, team members can build advanced skills, mentor others, and explore leadership opportunities.
