Why OSVS?

We believe in meeting our technicians where they are and helping them grow from there. With structured training that includes formal lectures, hands-on skills labs, and cage-side mentoring, we give you the tools to succeed in the areas that inspire you most-emergency, ICU, or specialty medicine.

Our newly renovated ICU is equipped with the latest technology, including wireless EKG, HiFlow oxygen, Snyder oxygen cages, mechanical ventilation, portable ultrasound, defibrillator, and an in-house blood donor program.

  • Support patients and clients with empathy, professionalism, and clear communication
  • Assist with emergency procedures and surgeries, from anesthesia to recovery care
  • Document patient histories and ensure accurate medical records
  • Mentor and collaborate with team members in a supportive, team-focused environment
Evening, weekend, and holiday shifts are part of providing 24/7 emergency and specialty care-but with flexible scheduling options, you'll have balance too.
What We're Looking For
  • At least 2 years' experience in a small animal clinical setting
  • Strong communication, organization, and time-management skills
  • A collaborative team player who thrives in a fast-paced environment
  • Ability to anticipate patient needs and remain calm under pressure
  • Physical ability to lift/handle pets (40+ lbs) and remain on your feet throughout your shift
Benefits & Perks
  • Employer-paid medical premiums and deductible
  • Dental, vision, and life insurance
  • 401K with company match
  • PTO, paid holidays, and EAP support
  • Veterinary Social Worker available on-site
  • Paid CE opportunities, CE stipend for CVT and VTS
  • Uniform allowance & personal pet discounts
  • Flexible scheduling options (8, 10, or 12-hour shifts)
  • Bi-annual performance, skills, and compensation reviews
  • Competitive pay:
    • Non-credentialed Techs: $20-$30/hr
    • Credentialed Techs: $22-$32/hr
    • VTS: $29-$37/hr
