Job description

Bond Vet is on a mission to strengthen the human-animal bond through better pet care. We offer primary and urgent care, so we're there for pets when they need us most. Our clinics are designed with pets and people in mind: warm, friendly, and highly sniffable. We balance this design with a strong focus on technology, all built in-house, which means we can easily innovate our systems to improve the veterinary team, pet, and client experience.

In July 2026, Bond Vet and Small Door Veterinary merged to build a more connected, accessible, and compassionate veterinary care experience across routine, primary, and urgent care. The combined organization will span more than 55 clinics across major Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest markets, serving over half a million pets.

This role will play an important part in shaping the next chapter of our combined organization and advancing our shared mission to transform veterinary care.

We're building the next generation of veterinary clinics from the ground up — and we're looking for a proactive Veterinary Assistant to join our team.

Our Veterinary Assistants partner with our Veterinarians and Vet Techs to deliver exceptional care to our pets and pet parents. You will provide a high level of compassion as you interact with our clients and support our cohesive teams in whatever is needed, from scribing during visits to assisting with procedures. You are efficient, detail oriented, and a collaborative team member who is passionate about providing quality care to pets!

This is a full time (40 hrs/week) position with a rotating schedule of four 10hr shifts per week.

What You'll Do:

• Scribe for our Veterinarians during visits
• Support medical team members with surgeries, x-rays, treatments, and other procedures
• Compassionately handle and restrain pets for exams
• Record and report on patient symptoms
• Clean, restock and maintain clinic common areas and exam rooms
• Clearly communicate pricing estimates and treatment plans, serving as a guide through the client's visit experience
• Assist with client interactions, walk-ins, calls, scheduling, and client education as needed
• Perform other duties as assigned by your team leaders

You Have:

• 1+ year of experience working as a veterinary assistant or kennel assistant
• A working knowledge of veterinary terminology
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• High attention to detail and ability to multitask with accuracy and efficiency
• A high proficiency for typing and utilizing multiple computer systems and capturing recommendations made during the course of a visit
• A passion for pets!

We Offer:

• Competitive Pay | $17-$26/hr | Based on Experience
• Opportunities for tuition assistance for staff pursuing LVT/CVT with our education partners
• Team-Based Profit Sharing
• Discount on In-Clinic Services for Pets
• Flexible Scheduling Models with scheduled released at least a month in advance
• Paid Parental Leave
• 401(k) contribution with partial employer match
• Support for your physical and mental wellness: medical, dental & vision plan options and access to mental health support programs
• A place to grow: culture that is centered in learning and development, career pathing, mentorships, empowerment and trust
