Part-Time Weekend DVM: You should be working for us. Here’s why.

• One of the most robust compensation & benefits packages around
• We have a verifiable commitment to putting pets and our people first
• Your patients, your call

We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate Part-Time Weekend Veterinarian to join our team! This is an opportunity to Shake Things Up and tailor your career to your lifestyle. Whether you're a parent who prefers to stay home with your kids during the week or a professional looking to pick up extra shifts, this role offers flexibility and balance.

In this unique position, you'll help us meet the weekend demands of our clients and patients while supporting our current DVM team in finding a balance throughout the week. While you’ll always have a team of support staff members with you, there may be times when you’ll be the only DVM on duty for the day. We strive to provide a collaborative environment with multiple veterinarians, but we want to be transparent about occasional solo DVM shifts.

We're looking for the right person to join our network, and we're flexible on the home hospital location. We want to work with you to figure out the best solution and help us launch this innovative role at Cara Veterinary.

We’re well known for the dedicated care we give our community’s animal family members, and as one of Cara’s 11 member hospitals, we’re also known as an exceptional place to practice veterinary medicine.

This means your leadership and opinions will be respected, and you’ll be given the opportunity to build trusting relationships with your clients and their pets. Most importantly, we’ll support you in creating the kind of life and career you want.

Our Offer

• Highly competitive salary range of $70,000-$100,000 based on experience
• Production bonus
• Eligible to participate in a quarterly incentive program with an annual potential bonus of $2,400
• Paid Time Off (PTO), up to 60 hours per year + birthday PTO
• Employee pet care discount for up to four personal pets
• Uniform allowance
• Professional Development (CE) reimbursement and CE PTO, up to $1500 and 20 hours each year
• Applications, dues and renewals paid for including AVMA, VIN, DEA, Washington State DVM License + one additional professional org membership

What We’re Looking For

It’s important to us that members of our medical team be as savvy about the human animal as they are about non-human animals—so we’re seeking an experienced professional who:

• Enjoys educating and connecting with people
• Communicates effectively
• Will advocate for staff and patients
• Has excellent medical & diagnostic skills and is committed to personalized care
• Is reliable and trustworthy
• Shows adaptability and resilience
• Is available to work weekends, excited about a part-time role that fits your lifestyle, and confident working as the sole DVM when needed, with support team members by your side

CARA VETERINARY CORE VALUE PILLARS? 

Put pets first.?Our first priority is always with the health, happiness, and comfort of our patients. We have designed the Cara experience with the animal perspective in mind. And our care advice is based only on what is best for the pet.??

Trust the parent.?We believe that caring for an animal is a partnership built on mutual trust and humility. We trust parents to make the right decisions for themselves and their pets and invite them to actively participate in care alongside us.?? 
? 
Authentically human.?Caring for a pet involves the full spectrum of emotions, from joy to grief. We must lean into openness, empathy, and compassionate listening. We know when to be fun, and when to be serious. At all times, we foster supportive, positive, and authentically human hospital culture.?? 
? 
Good neighbors. Although our business is growing, we retain the attitude and spirit of a neighborhood vet. We welcome people in. We get to know our clients' families and are proud to play an active role in our local communities.??

Shake things up. We are always looking for a better way. In an industry that hasn't seen a lot of innovation, we are experimenting with new ways of delivering care, delighting customers, providing unexpectedly human (and animal) touches, and infusing out hospitals with fresh ideas.??
