Associate Veterinarian — Part-Time Mobile Practice

We are currently hiring for this role.

Job Description

Three days/week · Flexible weekdays · San Diego, CA
$105,000–$120,000 annually for a 24-hour workweek

More time with patients. Meaningful relationships. We handle the driving.

ZumiVet is a privately owned, veterinarian-led mobile practice seeking an associate veterinarian for three eight-hour days per week. Weekdays are mutually agreed upon, with the potential to increase days as the practice grows.

We provide personalized, low-stress care in pets’ homes throughout San Diego. If you enjoy thoughtful medicine, lasting client relationships, and a manageable appointment schedule, we’d love to meet you.

Why ZumiVet?

  • Typically five appointments daily, with 30–60-minute visits and time for client education.

  • One household at a time, without juggling multiple exam rooms or a crowded waiting room.

  • No driving required. Your accompanying veterinary technician handles driving between visits.

  • Dedicated technician and client service support.

  • Time built into the workday for travel, medical records, and patient follow-up.

  • Clinical autonomy and direct collaboration with the veterinarian who owns the practice.

  • Opportunities to contribute ideas, develop your interests, and help shape a growing independent practice.

Our Caseload

Wellness and preventive care, internal medicine, chronic disease management, geriatrics, palliative care, and in-home euthanasia. ZumiVet also offers dentistry and rehabilitation, with opportunities to discuss how your interests fit the practice.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Guaranteed annual salary of $105,000–$120,000 for 24 hours per week, based on relevant experience.

  • Three weeks of paid vacation: nine scheduled days annually.

  • Separate paid sick leave.

  • $2,000 annual CE allowance plus two paid CE days.

  • California veterinary license, required DEA registration, and professional liability coverage.

  • Paid practice holidays when they fall on regularly scheduled workdays.

  • SIMPLE IRA retirement plan with employer contributions, subject to plan eligibility and terms.

  • Compensation and workload review after six months.

Health insurance is not currently offered for this part-time position.

About You

  • Active California veterinary license.

  • Strong general practice skills and sound clinical judgment.

  • Comfortable making independent clinical decisions with collaborative support.

  • Clear, compassionate client communication.

  • Commitment to low-stress handling and personalized patient care.

  • Comfortable providing in-home euthanasia.

Fear Free certification is preferred. Previous mobile experience is welcome but not required—we’ll support your transition.
