Veterinary Technician

Veterinary Technician / Veterinary Assistant   

$20–33/hr | No Overnights | 100% Employer-Paid Health Insurance 

A place to slow down, learn deeply, and actually connect with your community.

Not all urgent care hospitals looks the same. At AcutePet Mount Pleasant, we've built something with a little more room to breathe — and a lot more room to learn.

We're a veterinary urgent care that moves with intention. Our caseload is steady enough to give you real hands-on experience, and unhurried enough to let us actually teach. Whether you're a licensed technician looking to grow your clinical skill set or a veterinary assistant ready to level up, you'll find a team that invests in you, not just a schedule that fills you in.

Who We Are Looking For

• ​​​Licensed veterinary technicians — new grads who want strong mentorship, or experienced technicians who are exhausted by ER burnout and want a sustainable pace
• Veterinary assistants with solid fundamentals and a genuine appetite to learn urgent care medicine
• People who want to be part of a clinic that's rooted in this community — we work with local rescues and believe showing up for the neighborhood matters

You'll be doing real clinical work: IV placement, diagnostics, anesthesia monitoring, patient assessments, and hands-on procedures. But you'll also have someone beside you explaining the why, not just the what. Mentorship here isn't a program on a piece of paper; it's just how we work.

No overnight shifts. No major holidays. A schedule built for people, not just coverage.

Compensation & Benefits 

• $20–33/hour base pay, depending on experience 

• 100% employer-paid health, dental, and life insurance 

• Additional coverage options: vision, disability, HSA, 401(k), EAP 

• Paid time off, including your birthday as a holiday 

• Up to 6 weeks of paid parental and adoptive leave 

• Dedicated time and funding for CE and professional development 

• Generous employee pet care discounts 

Who We Are 
We're a veterinary urgent care clinic that takes the 'care' part seriously — for our patients, our clients, and our team. AcutePet was founded by experienced DVMs who wanted to do things differently, and our Mount Pleasant location reflects that. We're community-minded, mentorship-driven, and committed to making veterinary medicine a career people can actually sustain.
