Vickery Place Animal Hospital is a modern, compassionate, and highly collaborative veterinary practice. Our team prides itself on delivering exceptional patient care and an outstanding client experience. We are technician-driven and deeply committed to a “work-as-a-team” culture where every role is valued and supported.

About the Role – Veterinary Assistant

We are seeking a Veterinary Assistant with some prior assistant experience and a genuine passion for animal care. In this role, you will provide daily care, feeding, and exercise for boarding pets, closely monitoring them for any signs of stress or changes in behavior. You’ll assist our veterinary technicians and veterinarians by maintaining clean, organized, and well-stocked treatment and surgery areas, and by following proper feeding and sanitation procedures.

This role also involves in-person client interaction, so strong communication and customer service skills are key. Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who is a great culture fit—someone who thrives in a technician-led, collaborative environment and enjoys working closely with a supportive, team-oriented staff.
