Licensed Veterinary Technician or Experienced Veterinary Assistant

Position: Veterinary Assistant – Help Us Help Paws

Location: Grass Lake, Michigan

Employment Type: Full-Time | Occasional Pet Wrangler

Salary: starting at $18 for VA and up to $24.00 for LVT

Are you fluent in barks, meows, and the occasional hiss? Do you have a heart bigger than a Great Dane and the reflexes of a caffeinated squirrel? Then you might be just the superhero sidekick we're looking for at Grass Lake Animal Hospital in the charming village of Grass Lake, Michigan.

About the Role:

We're on the hunt for a Licensed Veterinary Technician or an Experienced Veterinary Assistant who doesn't mind a little fur on their scrubs and knows the difference between a pit bull and a porcupine (important). You'll work alongside veterinarians and fellow animal lovers to:

Cuddle stressed-out critters (yes, it's a job requirement)

Keep exam rooms clean and stocked—because no one wants to search for the thermometer after the patient arrives

Take vitals and assist during exams and procedures

Assist Doctors with surgeries

Administer medications and treatments as directed by the veterinarian

Collect and process laboratory samples such as blood, urine, and feces

Handle administrative tasks such as scheduling appointments and answering phones

Educate pet parents without using too much Latin

Provide TLC to both four-legged and two-legged clients

Who You Are:

High school diploma or equivalent; additional certification in Animal Care or related field is a plus.

Licensed in the state of MI and in good standing with the board for all LVTs

Previous experience in a veterinary or animal care setting is a must.

Physical ability to lift and handle animals of varying sizes

You're not squeamish (because things will ooze)

You know how to keep your cool during a Chihuahua tantrum

You're a team player with a strong stomach and a soft heart

Bonus points if you can do all this while holding a cup of coffee

Why Grass Lake?

Besides being the home of your new favorite clinic, Grass Lake is pure Michigan charm:

Paddle your stress away at Grass Lake or kayak the Waterloo Recreation Area

Hike or bike scenic trails like Waterloo-Pinckney Trail

Shop local at the Downtown Grass Lake Farmers Market (llama sightings possible)

Catch live music and classic cars at the summer Traffic Jam'In Festival

And yes, we're close enough to Ann Arbor if you need a city fix—but far enough that you can see the stars at night.

Perks Include:

Additional benefits

Discounts on pet care (Fluffy and Fido will thank you)

Supportive, drama-free team (we save the drama for the llamas)

Endless supply of treats—for patients and team members
