Are you a veterinary student or recent graduate looking for meaningful, real-world experience? Dr. Alex of Urban Tails at Home Veterinary Care is now accepting a limited number of externs to work directly alongside him in a one-of-a-kind mobile practice that provides compassionate care to animals in the comfort of their homes.

 

This is not a clinic job. This is an immersive learning opportunity with a veterinarian who truly loves what he does and gives his all to every pet and pet parent he serves. His kindness is real, his work is deeply personal, and the standard of care he delivers is exceptional.

 

Who This Is For
We are looking for high-character individuals who are:

Motivated and proactive -You take initiative, solve problems, and are ready to contribute without waiting to be told what to do.
Compassionate and respectful - You care about people as much as you care about animals.
Reliable and loyal - You understand that being part of a small, close-knit team means showing up with integrity every time.
Flexible and grounded - You are just as comfortable answering phones in the office as you are assisting during home visits.
Focused and teachable - You follow instructions carefully, learn quickly, and want to grow.

Dr. Alex takes great pride in mentoring and guiding future veterinary professionals, and we want to ensure that the people who join him are just as committed to excellence as he is.

Who This Is Not For
This is not the right fit if:

• You are looking to do the bare minimum or are just trying to fill hours

• You prefer to work in a traditional clinic and get restless outside of that environment

• You are uncomfortable with house calls, office tasks, or client communication

• You have a pattern of cutting corners, ignoring feedback, or resisting direction

• You are not ready to treat this opportunity and the people behind it with the respect and responsibility it deserves

 

Dr. Alex has built a practice rooted in trust, empathy, and consistency. The people who join him should reflect that same energy.

A Note on Independence and Readiness
Dr. Alex is incredibly generous with his knowledge and mentorship, but this is a working environment, not a training facility. If you are selected for this opportunity, we expect that you show up prepared, focused, and confident in your foundational skills. This means you are not asking constant questions that disrupt workflow or requiring hand-holding every step of the way. We are looking for someone who is ready to listen, learn, and rise to the occasion with minimal supervision.

Why This Opportunity Matters
This externship is more than a line on your resume. It is a chance to work alongside someone who is making a real difference and to learn in a setting that values both skill and soul. If you are looking to be mentored by someone who will teach you not just medicine but also humanity, this could be the opportunity that shapes your career.
