Associate Veterinarian (Part-Time – Weekend Coverage) – Hilltop Family Vet, Alachua, FL
You’d do anything for your family — and so would we.

At Hilltop Family Vet, family isn’t just part of our name — it’s the core of who we are. Nestled in the warm and welcoming town of Alachua, FL, our full-service veterinary hospital is home to three exceptional DVMs and a stellar support team that brings skill, heart, and a whole lot of humor to every shift.

We’re currently on the lookout for a Part-Time Associate Veterinarian to help anchor our weekend schedule — ideally Saturdays, with opportunities to add Fridays or Sundays if you'd like a little more time in the clinic. Whether you’re looking to round out your week with a fulfilling side gig or you’re easing back into clinical life, we’d love to hear from you.

Our team thrives on collaboration, communication, and community — and we’re proud to offer a flexible, low-drama environment where every voice matters and every case is a team effort.

We’re talking winding trails, rolling wildflower fields, towering pines, and crystal-clear springs (seriously, it’s a diver’s paradise). The town is buzzing with innovation, thanks to its growing tech and manufacturing hubs, while still holding on to its peaceful, hometown vibes.
