Are you an experienced Veterinary Assistant looking for a fulfilling role in a supportive, collaborative practice? Do you want to be part of a team that values quality care, continuous growth, and a strong community connection? If so, we'd love to meet you.

About Our Hospital

Alley Cat & Dog Pet Hospital is a busy, well-established advanced general practice and urgent care clinic dedicated to delivering fear-free veterinary medicine with a focus on compassionate, high-quality care. Our team brings a wealth of experience in both general practice and urgent care, creating a great learning and support environment.

Schedule

• 4x10s: Wednesday-Friday 9am-8pm, and Saturday 8am-7pm

What We Do

We're not your average general practice. Our clinic offers a wide range of advanced services that keep our work exciting and our skills sharp:

• Advanced Surgery (TPLO, BOAS, C-Sections)
• Urgent Care & Emergency Triage
• Dentistry with radiographs
• Ultrasound & ECHO
• Comprehensive diagnostics (in-house and reference lab)

We're proud of our advanced capabilities - and equally proud of the way we support each other every step of the way.

The Role

This is a full-time Veterinary Assistant role . You'll be involved in assisting our doctors in both general practice and urgent care cases, with the support of a strong clinical and administrative team. We are looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is eager to learn and grow in their career. Fear-Free certification or a passion for gentle handling is highly valued.

Our Culture & Values

We take pride in showing up for our community, their pets, and each other. We believe veterinary care should be excellent and approachable. Our team is:

• Hardworking, outgoing, and silly (when appropriate!)
• Focused on personal and professional growth
• Built on trust, teamwork, and transparency
• Passionate about client communication and care

Even on our busiest days, we have each other's backs — and we always make time to laugh.

Why Napa Valley?

The scenery, food, wine, and lifestyle. This is wine country at its finest. On your days off, you're surrounded by:

• World-famous wineries & restaurants
• Scenic trails and outdoor adventures
• Incredible cultural events and festivals
• A vibrant mix of locals and visitors from all walks of life

We serve a broad and diverse community - and they're some of the kindest, most loyal pet parents you'll ever meet.
