Licensed Veterinary Technician

Small Door is membership-based veterinary care designed with human standards that is better for pets, pet parents, and veterinarians alike. We designed and delivered a reimagined veterinary experience via a membership that includes exceptional care, 24/7 telemedicine, and transparent pricing—delivered with modern hospitality in spaces designed by animal experts to be stress-free. We opened our flagship location in Manhattan's West Village in 2019 and have expanded across the East Coast, now operating in New York City, Boston, Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia with continued expansion plans in 2026.

At Small Door, our nurses are part of a supportive and collaborative network invested in their growth. Our nurses work in state-of-the-art facilities with strong doctor-to-nurse staffing ratios and have the added support of a 24/7 telehealth team and dedicated call center, drastically reducing incoming calls to the practice. This allows you to focus on the pets in front of you. We are committed to a healthy work/life balance and to creating and maintaining a positive work culture. In addition to practicing Fear Free, we are AAHA accredited, meaning we abide by incredibly high standards as an organization.
