Livonia, MI Full Time
POSTED ON 4/10/2026

Veterinary Assistant Wanted 🐾 (aka your dream clinic job)

Love animals and enjoy helping keep them happy and healthy? Say less. We're looking for a Veterinary Assistant who's got great energy, strong work ethic, and genuinely cares about pets and their people.

About the Clinic 🏥

We're not your average clinic—we're a busy, upbeat place where no two days are the same. Think modern equipment, a steady flow of adorable patients, and a team that actually has each other's backs. We focus on creating a calm, welcoming environment for pets and their owners, so kindness and communication are just as important as hands-on skills. If you want to feel valued and not like "just another employee," you'll fit right in.

What You'll Actually Be Doing 👩‍⚕️🐶

You'll be a key part of keeping the clinic running smoothly, including:

  • Supporting veterinarians and technicians during exams and procedures
  • Helping restrain and comfort patients safely and gently
  • Preparing exam rooms, equipment, and supplies
  • Assisting with basic animal care (feeding, cleaning, monitoring)
  • Communicating clearly with clients and helping them feel at ease
  • Keeping the clinic clean, organized, and efficient behind the scenes
  • Jumping in wherever needed—teamwork is everything here

If you can handle a fast-paced environment, stay organized, and still give each patient attention and care, you'll do great.

What You Need ✔️

  • High school diploma or equivalent (required)
  • Previous veterinary or animal care experience (preferred but not required)
  • Genuine passion for working with animals
  • Strong communication and people skills
  • Positive attitude and team-player mindset
  • Ability to multitask and stay calm under pressure
  • Willingness to learn and grow in a hands-on role

What You Get 💸✨

  • Competitive pay solid benefits
  • A supportive, drama-free team
  • Opportunities to grow your skills and advance
  • A fun, fast-paced workplace full of amazing animals

If you're ready to make a difference, help animals every day, and be part of a team that truly cares—this is your sign.
