Whether you’re balancing family commitments, pursuing personal interests, or simply seeking a more sustainable pace, we’re here to support you. This role allows you to stay clinically engaged without sacrificing balance, connection, or continuity of care. We’re flexible, open to conversation, and committed to understanding your availability and goals—and building a schedule that works for both you and the hospital.

Montecito Pet Hospital in beautiful Santa Barbara, California is a comprehensive small animal practice. You cannot beat our hospital's friendly & professional culture as we have a 4.9-star rating on Google! Our ideal candidate will have an interest in dentistry to compliment their general practice surgical skills and client service. 

Why Join Us:

• Our well-trained team members will allow you to focus on being a doctor and not technician, allowing you to make a difference in the lives of pets and our clients.
• Located on a pristine stretch of California’s central coastline, Santa Barbara brings together the Golden State’s Spanish influence, laid-back vibe, and upscale sensibility in a way few places can.

Santa Barbara is best known for its broad, sandy beaches, and whether you’re looking to catch the perfect wave or the perfect sunset, there are plenty from which to choose. As a world-class destination, Santa Barbara does not disappoint when it comes to food and drink, and the surrounding area now rivals Northern California’s Napa and Sonoma regions for wine production.
