Career Center

VCA PetCare West Veterinary Hospital located in Santa Rosa, California is seeking a highly experienced Veterinarian to lead our tenured DVM team as Medical Director.

Our hospital is located in the heart of wine country. Sonoma County in the broader sense provides many desirable places to live; from the coast to the inland hills and miles of vineyards, to quaint small towns or more urban settings, all are available in Sonoma County. There really is something for everyone. San Francisco is an hour away, the coast is just a short drive, and Russian River with its beautiful scenery are nearby. If you want to live just outside of town on a small farm, near a vineyard, or with a view of the foothills, the river, or the coast, it is all available within a short drive of VCA PetCare West.

Over the past 10 years since PetCare opened its second hospital, VCA PetCare East (Specialty / Emergency / General Practice), VCA PetCare West has evolved into a large Primary Care practice that has maintained a diverse caseload that is urgent care friendly. The quality of medicine is top notch and always evolving to answer the needs of the local community. We build lasting relationships with our clients and their furry family members. Our team members are very connected to each other and we have a definite family feel, while always striving for a culture of positivity. We believe in treating all team members with respect and place a high value on self-care and work-life balance. We are passionate about preventive care, and are committed to offering our clients high caliber medicine, promoting the best service possible in all aspects of the veterinary visit. Our doctors have access to dedicated surgery and dental suites, digital radiography, ultrasound, and in-house lab in our spacious hospital. Our hospital is Fear Free friendly, with many practices in place to reduce stress for our patients.
