Overview

Veterinary Assistant / Client Service Representative | Golden, Colorado

Every pet that stays with us deserves to feel safe, loved, and well cared for. That's where you come in.

Some people are great with pets. Some people are great with their humans. This job is for the person who's both. At Mesa Veterinary Hospital, our Veterinary Assistant / Client Service Representative is one hybrid role that works both sides of the hospital: the front desk, where a worried phone call becomes a booked appointment, and the treatment area, where a nervous cat needs steady hands for her blood draw. You're the one person who sees a pet's entire visit through, from check-in to check-out.

About the Practice

Mesa Veterinary Hospital has been part of Golden's Applewood neighborhood since 1974, and we've held AAHA accreditation since 1986, a standard only about 12% of practices in the U.S. and Canada reach. Our nine doctors provide wellness care, surgery, dentistry, urgent care support, and advanced diagnostics for dogs, cats, and exotics, so a bearded dragon in exam two is just another Tuesday. We're proud of our medicine, but we're even prouder of how this team communicates, collaborates, and shows up for each other, and we're minutes from the foothills with everything Golden, Lakewood, and Denver have to offer. If you want a hospital where your work touches every part of a pet's visit, this is it.
