You've Built Your Skills. Now Build Your Career.

You already know how to greet clients with warmth. You can juggle a busy phone line, soothe an anxious pet parent, and keep a waiting room running smoothly — all at once. You're an experienced veterinary receptionist, and your skills are genuinely valuable.

The question is: are you working somewhere that truly values them?

At Mission Pet Health, experienced receptionists aren't just a front desk — they're the heartbeat of the hospital. And this organization is built to help you grow, feel supported, and love the work you do every single day.

A Most Loved Workplace® — Verified, Year After Year

Mission Pet Health isn't just claiming to be a loved place to work. They've earned it — certified as a Most Loved Workplace® every year from 2022 through 2025. They've also been recognized as a Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces® in 2025.

But the recognition goes even deeper. Mission Pet Health holds verified badges for:

  • Most Loved Workplace® for Career Advancement 2025
  • Most Loved Workplace® for Women 2025
  • Most Loved Workplace® for Young Professionals 2025
  • Most Loved Workplace® for Wellness 2025
  • Most Loved Workplace® for Mental Health 2025
  • Most Loved Workplace® for Inclusivity 2025
  • Most Loved Workplace® for Parents & Caregivers 2025

These aren't self-awarded titles. They're independently verified — which means you can trust them.

What Makes This Role Different Here

Mission Pet Health was formed by the merger of Southern Veterinary Partners and Mission Veterinary Partners in December 2024. It's now one of the leading veterinary care organizations in the U.S., with a network of 850+ hospitals, specialty centers, and resorts across 42 states.

That scale creates something rare for a receptionist: real career mobility. If you want to grow into a lead receptionist, practice manager, or a home office support role, the doors are open. The network is vast enough to offer those paths — and the culture is invested enough to help you walk them.

Leadership here is also different. The company is led by Dr. Jay Price, a practicing veterinarian and the only general practice DVM leading a company of this scale in the nation. That means the people making decisions actually understand what it's like to work in a hospital. Your experience is seen and respected at every level.

The WAG Values: More Than a Motto

Everything at Mission Pet Health runs on three core values: Work Together. Amaze. Grow. — known internally as WAG.

For a receptionist, this matters in everyday ways:

  • Work Together means your hospital team has your back, and so does the home office.
  • Amaze means you're empowered to deliver exceptional experiences to every client who walks through the door.
  • Grow means your professional development is a priority — not an afterthought.
