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.

You’ll have supportive staff both in the clinic and remotely to assist you with callbacks, scribing, and patient care.

You’ll have access to the best technology, a warm and welcoming clinic environment, and did we mention snacks? Above all, you’ll be provided with the autonomy to practice your medicine how you see fit and be supported mentally, physically and financially.

We are currently offering Full-Time opportunities with up to 16 shifts per 4-week period, as well as Part-Time positions across our clinics. Scheduling is flexible and based on clinic needs. Mentorship & Growth: Personalized training and mentorship plans for vets post-internship, or at any stage in their career.

All of our vets go through dental, ultrasound and urgent care CE within their first year. Struggling with difficult client conversations? We can help you build the tools and confidence you need, medically and professionally. Board-certified specialists whom you can reach out to for expertise on any case.

Opportunities for growth into leadership positions, commensurate with experience. And that’s just a few of them. Positive Culture: Support near and far.

We have a highly-skilled remote team of nurses to lend support with client needs, triaging cases, and assisting with day-to-day tasks when things get busy in the clinic. Direct communication with leadership and influence over policies. If you’re thoughtful, we’re listening — let’s build a better vet clinic together.

We have your back - we don’t tolerate poor behavior from clients. We Offer Pay Range $160,000-$187,000 Depending on Experience Flexible employment models so that you can find the option that works best for you.
