Looking for a client service role where you can grow your career while helping shape the experience of a modern veterinary hospital?

The Castro Animal Hospital is a fast-paced, community-focused veterinary hospital in San Francisco’s vibrant Castro neighborhood. With high demand for quality pet care, our dedicated team provides expert treatment, compassionate service, and a welcoming environment for every pet and family we see.

As a Client Service Representative, you’ll be one of the first people clients speak with and one of the last they see before leaving. You won’t simply answer phones or process payments. You’ll help clients understand what comes next, keep communication flowing between families and the medical team, and create a calmer experience during moments that can feel stressful or uncertain.

Why You’ll Love It Here

• Recognize routine concerns and situations that may need urgent attention, and escalate appropriately
• Schedule and coordinate appointments, prioritizing needs and keeping the hospital calendar organized

• Prepare invoices, explain charges clearly, and process payments accurately
• Enter and maintain accurate client, patient, financial, and medical records

• Communicate hospital policies, services, and next steps, and help manage expectations during busy times
• Provide compassionate support to families whose pets need care

• Strong organization, time management, and attention to detail, with accurate data entry
• Confidence juggling multiple calls, appointments, and competing priorities
• The ability to stay calm and organized in a fast-paced environment
• Comfort discussing invoices, services, and hospital policies with clients
• Compassion for families and an understanding of the stress they may feel
• A self-motivated, collaborative attitude and willingness to take initiative
• Leadership potential and an interest in continued professional growth
• Availability to work Saturdays as part of the regular schedule
