At Mueller Veterinary Services, we love what we do — and we have fun doing it. We’re a four-doctor, mixed-animal practice that believes caring for our patients starts with caring for our people. Our team values authenticity, laughter, and balance just as much as we value excellent medicine.

We’re looking for a Certified Veterinary Technician who’s eager to bring their skills, personality, and passion for animal care to our dedicated team. If you’re looking to work with energized, supportive people who bring their authentic, funky selves to work each day — we’d love to meet you!

Why Our Certified Veterinary Technicians Love Mueller Veterinary Services
