    Job Description

     

    Veterinary Assistant

    For the Person Who Loves Medicine, Loves Pets, and Wants to Be Part of Something Exceptional

    Heritage Pet Hospital | Rochester, MN
    Brand-New 6,000 Sq. Ft. Hospital Opening Soon

    Not everyone is cut out to be a Veterinary Assistant.

    This job is for the person who gets excited about learning new medical skills. The person who notices the little things. The person who can comfort a nervous puppy, help monitor a recovering patient, clean up a mess without being asked, and then jump right into the next task with a smile.

    It's for someone who wants to be busy, wants to learn, and wants to make a difference every single day.

    If you love medicine, love animals, and find purpose in helping both pets and the people who love them, keep reading.

    Why Heritage?

    Heritage Pet Hospital has been voted Best of the Best year after year, but what we're most proud of is our team.

    We are a collaborative group of veterinary professionals who genuinely enjoy working together. We support each other, celebrate wins together, and step in when someone needs help. Drama doesn't belong here. Teamwork does.

    Our hospital currently has seven veterinarians, a diverse caseload, and a culture built around learning, growth, respect, and exceptional patient care.

    We're also preparing to move into our beautiful new state-of-the-art facility, giving our team access to expanded treatment areas, improved workflow, advanced equipment, and an environment designed for high-quality medicine.

    What You'll Get To Do

    No two days look exactly the same.

    One moment you may be helping obtain a medical history from a client. The next, you're assisting with diagnostics, monitoring a hospitalized patient, helping prepare for surgery, comforting a scared pet, or supporting the veterinary team during a busy treatment day.

    You'll be an important part of the medical team and play a direct role in helping pets heal, recover, and live healthier lives.

    A typical day may include:

    Assisting veterinarians and technicians with patient care

    Obtaining patient histories and gathering medical information

    Helping with diagnostics, treatments, and laboratory procedures

    Monitoring hospitalized and surgical patients

    Administering medications and treatments as directed

    Providing client education and support

    Maintaining a clean, organized, and safe medical environment

    Restraining and comforting patients during exams and procedures

    Supporting treatment, surgery, and hospitalization workflows

    Being a reliable teammate who jumps in wherever help is needed

    The Kind of Person We're Looking For

    We're looking for someone who:

    Loves veterinary medicine and wants to keep learning

    Thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys staying busy

    Notices details that others miss

    Takes initiative instead of waiting to be told what to do

    Can adapt when priorities change throughout the day

    Stays positive under pressure

    Works well with all kinds of personalities

    Leaves the drama at the door

    Finds joy in helping both pets and people

    Wants to be part of a team, not just collect a paycheck

    Experience is valuable, but attitude matters just as much.

    If you're dependable, motivated, eager to learn, and committed to providing exceptional care, we'd love to meet you.
