About The Position

Help Build the Veterinary Hospital You've Always Wanted to Work In Some people are looking for a job. Others are looking for the opportunity to build something that lasts. At Sheridan Pet Care, we're looking for an experienced Lead Veterinary Technician who is passionate about exceptional medicine, enjoys mentoring others, and wants to help shape the future of a growing veterinary practice. This isn't a role where you'll inherit outdated systems or spend your days putting out fires. It's an opportunity to work alongside the practice owner to build a hospital known for outstanding patient care, an incredible client experience, and a supportive, collaborative team culture. If you've ever thought, "If I were leading this hospital, here's how I'd do it..." we'd love to hear your ideas. Who We Are Sheridan Pet Care is a locally owned and intentionally independent small animal practice dedicated to providing compassionate, relationship-centered care for dogs and cats throughout every stage of life. Our services include: Surgery Advanced dentistry with full-mouth dental radiographs Internal medicine In-house laboratory and pharmacy Preventive care House-call appointments We're actively pursuing AAHA accreditation and Fear Free certification, and we believe excellent medicine starts with an engaged team that genuinely enjoys working together. Although we're still a small practice, we're busy, growing quickly, and intentionally building a hospital where quality always comes before quantity. The Opportunity As our Lead Veterinary Technician, you'll be much more than the person running treatments. You'll become a trusted clinical partner to the practice owner, helping establish medical standards, train the team, improve workflows, and create an environment where both patients and employees thrive. Because our team is intentionally small, you'll have the opportunity to make a significant impact every single day. Your ideas won't get lost in layers of management—they'll help shape the future of our hospital.
