Job description

Veterinarian in North Seattle | Join Cascade Pet Hospital in Shoreline, WA

Cascade Pet Hospital is seeking a compassionate Veterinarian to join our close-knit team in Shoreline, Washington, just minutes north of Seattle.

We believe exceptional patient care starts with a supportive, engaged team. As a smaller, community-focused practice, we're able to provide individualized care and personalized service that can be difficult to achieve in a larger hospital. We take pride in building lasting relationships with our clients, many of whom have trusted us with their pets for years.

Our culture is built around collaboration, respect, flexibility, and inclusivity. We value true work-life balance and strive to create schedules that allow our team to enjoy life outside of work. Past team outings include paddle boarding, Taco Tuesday, Holiday parties, Vet Tech Olympics, and themed potlucks.

Our Hospital

Cascade Pet Hospital is a well-established, paper-light practice that continues to invest in both our facility and our medicine. Our hospital has a warm Pacific Northwest-inspired atmosphere.

Our Hospital Features

• Four exam rooms including a feline-focused exam room
• Sterile surgical suite
• Dedicated dental treatment area with digital dental radiography
• Isolation ward
• Digital radiology suite
• In-house laboratory and pharmacy
• Brand-new therapeutic Class IV K-Laser
• Brand-new SonoScape ultrasound
• New surgical lighting
• Brand-new computers throughout the clinic

We perform a high volume of dental procedures and have team members with special interests in dentistry and surgery in general. Future equipment upgrades are already planned as we continue investing in our practice. We do not currently offer boarding or grooming services, allowing our team to stay focused on providing exceptional medical care.

A Team That Supports You

You’ll be joining an experienced, collaborative group that genuinely enjoys working together.

Our Team Currently Includes

• 1 Veterinarian

We’re also excited about the future of our team—two staff members are currently enrolled in LVT school, with two more planning to begin their LVT programs soon.

Our team is passionate about continuing education and providing the highest standard of care:

• Fear Free® and low-stress handling techniques are part of our everyday practice.
• Dr. Taylor is Fear Free and Low Stress Handling certified.
• Our entire team is individually Cat Friendly Certified (Veterinarian, Veterinary Professional, or Advocate) .

Our Approach to Medicine

We proudly practice high-quality, gold-standard medicine while emphasizing compassion, collaboration, strong communication, and individualized patient care. We value the trust our clients place in us and take pride in building long-term relationships with the families we serve.

Appointment times are designed to give doctors the flexibility they need, with standard 30-minute appointments that can be adjusted based on the patient’s needs or doctor preference. Our scheduling philosophy allows veterinarians to practice thoughtfully—not rush through appointments.

Dr. Taylor, our Chief of Staff, loves teaching and is happy to provide additional training and support to an experienced veterinarian who would like to build confidence in surgery or dentistry. Dr. Taylor is eager to share her knowledge and help doctors who want additional guidance in these areas.
