EVE Pet Hospital
Company Overview
Are you tired of working for the corporate board members who "zoom it in" and don't know you from Adam? Look no further than EVE Pet Hospital!
Who we are:
East Valley Emergency (EVE) is a brand new 24/7/365 emergency dog and cat hospital just built in Mesa. Just opened June 1st 2024. No general practice, no specialty. We are privately owned by the doctors who work here. That's right! The owners of the hospital will be working just as hard as you and by your side.
Who we are looking for:
At EVE Pet Hospital, we are looking to populate our team with positive people who take pride in their whole selves, because people who are happy with themselves take pride in their work. We value diversity and inclusion, no matter your skin or hair color, no matter your pronoun or piercing. We are looking for individuals who enjoy fun and even a little weirdness at work, but that can take responsibility for their contribution to this life saving care. If you are in this field we know you love animals, but we are looking for people who want to love their job and their coworkers as much as they love animals. We expect our DVMs to honor our veterinary technicians, assistants and customer service staff as the vital team members they are in delivering that efficient and quality care we all want to provide the fur babies.
Our Promise: Accessibility
You will know who your supervisors are and they will know you. They are accessible though more than just email. And the night managers are the ones working at night with you!
Access to the tools and training you need to provide the proper care to your patients and expand your skills.
Any price increases are transparently applied to the inflation of the product or the benefit of you: the staff; you won't be lining some board member's pockets.
Promise we expect of you: Responsibility/Accountability
We are looking for reliable individuals that take pride in their work and respect their coworkers. We are here to help the patients AND we are here to help each other.
Meetings will be required but paid, and they will be reasonable times for all shifts. No noon meetings required for overnighters. So we expect you to attend and participate, so you always have a chance to have your voice heard.
Self motivation to continually improve your skills and self awareness to communicate when you need help. Receptiveness to education, training and feedback.
Dedication to ethical, high quality, efficient and compassionate care for your patients and clients. (Obviously, but we have to say it )

Company History
Neither of us, came out of vet school thinking we would one day open our own practice. We met in 2018 when we both worked as emergency department associates at a practice that was privately owned. For a time, it was great; we had a lot of great staff who provided good patient care and the case load was enough to support a multi-doctor emergency department. Then our employer joined basically a ponzi scheme, disguised as an employee stock ownership program. The structure of the organization changed and began promoting competition between employees to encourage production. We found the theory does not translate well to medicine, and especially not emergency medicine. We cannot make sick or injured patients walk through the door and cannot predict how many diagnostics we need to run that week. Also each patient is different and might need different amounts of supplies. So when our employer was encouraging us to “sell” additional services that a patient did not necessarily need on an emergency basis, we felt good medicine and patient care was no longer the priority.
It had been discussed for over a year in joking terms and sometimes angry venting that we as an ER department could start somewhere else and work on our own terms. Technicians approached unbidden saying they would leave to work with a specific doctor(s) if they left for another practice. In November of 2021, Shannon and I had dinner together to discuss the serious undertaking of opening a practice. We decided if we were going to be “employee owners” then we wanted to really be an employee that was also the owner, be part of the floor team while also being responsible for the management decisions. We decided a core tenant of our business would be that all management members would work also on the floor; whether as a doctor, as a technician, or as a receptionist, managers of any level would work at least 4 shifts a month on the floor interacting with clients, patients and other staff. The goal is to keep us grounded in what it is actually like working on the front lines and thus our SOPs and any policy changes have a strong likelihood it will actually work in practice.
It took 3 years and countless hours but we eventually opened the doors to EVE Pet Hospital on June 1st, 2024. Like all start ups we have had our growing pains. Now we are happily settled into our space and are getting a great deal of positive feedback from clients that love our hospital ideals and level of care. Now is the time we would like to invite new team members to join in the dream!
