About the role

Part-Time / Seasonal Veterinary Assistant — Carroll Gardens Veterinary Group (The Garden Vet)
Brooklyn, NY | $26–$30/hr Who We Are
Welcome to The Garden Vet, your friendly neighborhood animal haven right here in Carroll Gardens. We’re the kind of place where the team greets patients by name, neighbors stop by just to say hi, and yes — we’ve probably seen your dog at the coffee shop down the block. Our mission? Top-notch veterinary care served with kindness, warmth, and maybe a sprinkle of sass when the situation calls for it.What You’ll Do

Gently handle and restrain pets — think firm but loving, like convincing a corgi to leave the dog run when they’re clearly not ready.
Assist our doctors and techs during exams, treatments, and diagnostics.
Gather thorough patient histories without being sidetracked by puppy wiggles or the world’s slowest tail wag.
Keep treatment areas and exam rooms tidy and stocked — because nobody wants to run out of gauze mid-surgery.
Learn and adapt on the fly, because in veterinary medicine, and in Brooklyn, no two days are ever the same.

What We’re Looking For

Veterinary experience is great, but if you’re a quick study with the right attitude, we’re happy to teach.
A calm, flexible demeanor — because pets don’t care about your carefully crafted schedule.
Solid communication skills with humans and with skeptical cats who think we’re plotting against them.
Able to lift and restrain pets up to ~40 lbs, and stay on your feet for most of your shift.
The kind of teammate who sees what needs to be done and just does it.

Perks & Benefits

$26–$30/hr based on experience
A tight-knit, genuinely supportive team
Opportunities to learn, grow, and advance
A mix of routine visits and “only in Brooklyn” surprises
Employee pet care discounts (your furry roommate will thank you)
