Responsibilities

Wasilla Veterinary Hospital is looking to add a Veterinarian to the team

Join a Thriving Practice in Alaska's Adventure Capital

Step into an engaging role at Wasilla Veterinary Hospital, where professional fulfillment meets the unparalleled adventure of life in Alaska's Mat-Su Valley. We're seeking a veterinary to round out our growing team and support our loyal client community. All experience levels considered. We place a strong focus on mentorship and continuing education and professional development.


Why Wasilla is Your Perfect Adventure Base

Gateway to Alaska's Greatest Adventures Wasilla isn't just a destination – it's your launching pad for authentic Alaska experiences. Nestled in the heart of the Mat-Su Valley with the majestic Chugach Mountains as your backdrop, you'll have unmatched access to world-class fishing on the Susitna River, endless hiking trails, and some of Alaska's best hunting grounds. In winter, embrace the Iditarod spirit in the very town where champions are made, with cross-country skiing, snowmachining, and Northern Lights viewing right outside your door.

Year-Round Outdoor Paradise From summer salmon runs to winter aurora displays, Wasilla offers four distinct seasons of adventure. The Mat-Su Valley provides the perfect balance – close enough to Anchorage for convenience (45 minutes) yet surrounded by pristine wilderness where moose wander through neighborhoods and eagles soar overhead.


Lead a Foundation Built for Success

Well-Oiled, Steady Team Our team is a well-oiled system that has mastered the art of seamless collaboration. Our experienced staff knows their roles, works efficiently together, and takes pride in delivering consistent, high-quality care. As a fellow veterinarian you'll work alongside a group that values stability, professionalism, and continuous improvement without the chaos of constant turnover.

Deeply Loyal Client Base There's something special about Alaska communities – and Wasilla exemplifies this spirit. Our clients aren't just customers; they're neighbors, friends, and fellow adventurers who trust us with their beloved companions year after year. Many families have been with us for generations, creating relationships that make veterinary practice deeply rewarding. You'll lead care for pets whose families truly appreciate the dedication and expertise you bring.

Established Excellence Our hospital has earned its reputation through years of consistent, compassionate care. The systems are in place, the team is experienced, and the community knows they can count on us. Your role is to build upon this strong foundation while bringing your own leadership vision to guide our continued growth.

  • Stable Clinical Operations - Oversee established protocols with a team that executes them expertly
  • Community Relationships - Strengthen bonds with our loyal client families
  • Team Development - Mentor and guide veterinarians and staff who are committed to excellence
  • Practice Growth - Build upon our solid reputation to expand services and community impact
  • Quality Assurance - Maintain the high standards that have earned client loyalty and trust

What We're Looking For

  • DVM degree with Alaska veterinary license (or ability to obtain)
  • Foundation in small animal medicine
  • Collaborative working style that values team input and stability
  • Community-minded approach to veterinary practice
  • Alaska spirit – ready to embrace small-town community life and big-time adventure

What We Offer

  • Competitive compensation with performance incentives ranging from $120,000 - $130,000 guaranteed salary with Production Bonus (depending on experience and skill level)
  • Comprehensive benefits package including health, vision, dental, and retirement with 401k match
  • Stable work environment with experienced, committed staff
  • Professional development support for continuing education
  • Relocation assistance to help you transition to Alaska
  • Work-life balance that lets you enjoy Alaska's incredible lifestyle (4-day work week - no overnights)
  • Community integration – become part of Wasilla's tight-knit community

Your Alaska Adventure Awaits

This is more than a veterinary position – it's your opportunity to join a respected practice while living the Alaska dream. Imagine finishing a rewarding day of veterinary leadership and heading out to fish the world-famous Susitna River, or watching the Northern Lights dance over the Chugach Mountains from your own backyard.

Wasilla offers the perfect blend: a thriving veterinary practice with loyal clients and a steady team, set in one of Alaska's most adventure-rich communities.

Join us where career excellence meets the ultimate Alaska lifestyle.
