The ideal candidate will practice high quality medicine, possess excellent communications skills, and be service oriented. PetCare values its family like culture and places an emphasis on teamwork and collegiality. 

Take a typical day in Santa Rosa: Have a quick breakfast at a funky downtown coffee shop. Once you are fueled up, take a bike ride through a vineyard or the redwoods to the coast. Come back downtown to quench your thirst with one of our world-famous local beers, and dine on fresh, Sonoma-grown food or enjoy wine from one of our numerous world-renowned Sonoma County Wineries. Outdoor activities abound in this area – with picturesque wine country and rugged, beautiful beaches just a short drive away.

Santa Rosa is a thriving community – with a proximity to the big city-life of San Francisco, while still maintaining a small town feeling. Santa Rosa is truly one of the most desirable places to live in California.
