Licensed Veterinary Technician - LVT PawDoc Urgent Care + Surgery Dental Center

Opening January 2027! We are looking for a Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT) to work in our Urgent Care department at the new PawDoc Urgent Care and Surgery Dental Center in Tacoma, Washington. Earn a $3,000 sign-on bonus with an active Washington LVT license.

About the role

At PawDoc, we are reimagining veterinary care to be more accessible, transparent, and stress-free for every pet family. By combining high-quality medicine with a concierge-style experience, we make it easier for pet parents to get the care their pets need, without the anxiety or uncertainty.

Our client-centric approach is designed around convenience and connection. From pre-visit digital onboarding to real-time SMS updates, we keep pet owners informed and engaged every step of the way. Our reception-less, open lobby ensures every client and pet is personally welcomed, while our team takes time to sit down with clients, review care plans, build trust, and take care of pets. Every detail—from warm greetings to thoughtful pick-up experiences—is intentional. We’re not just providing veterinary services; we’re creating a personalized partnership in care that puts the human-animal bond at the center of everything we do.

We understand the friction in veterinary medicine. That's why we work to combat compassion fatigue and burnout, focusing on collaboration, creativity, and wellness to support your career and personal goals.
