Practice bold medicine — without burnout.

Night Watch Elite Animal Emergency is looking for an Overnight Emergency Veterinarian who wants to practice high‑quality ER medicine with autonomy and strong technician support.

If you love the pace of emergency medicine but want a hospital that values your time, judgment, and well‑being, you’ll fit right in at Night Watch.

• True overnight autonomy — you direct your cases
• Strong, experienced technician support
• No corporate politics or daytime chaos
• Competitive compensation
• A team that understands the joys and discomforts of ER reality
• Room to grow — clinically and financially
• For the right person, long‑term growth opportunity, including the potential for equity or ownership participation
• Mentorship and training available if needed

This is a role where you can practice excellent medicine, build client trust, and go home knowing you made a real impact.

• Provide high-quality emergency and critical care to canine and feline patients
• Triage and manage cases ranging from urgent to critical
• Diagnose and stabilize trauma, toxicities, respiratory distress, shock, and complex medical and surgery cases
• Perform emergency procedures and surgeries including:
  • GDV
  • Foreign bodies
  • C‑sections
  • Wound repairs and urgent soft‑tissue procedures
• Communicate clearly and compassionately with pet owners — including diagnostics and treatment plans
• Work collaboratively with a skilled overnight technician team
• Maintain thorough, efficient medical records

Interest in exotics or bone surgery is a plus but not required.

• DVM or equivalent from an accredited institution
• Licensed (or eligible for licensure) in Texas
• Small animal experience required
• Emergency or critical care experience preferred but not mandatory — we’re open to confident GPs transitioning into ER
• Calm under pressure, decisive, and team‑oriented

• Salary: $120,000–$150,000 base salary + production (based on experience)
• 401(k) with matching
• Health, dental, vision & life insurance
• Paid time off
• Professional development support, including paid continuing education and license fees
• Employee discounts

• Overnight shifts, 3 shifts per week, 3 on - 4 off
• Full-time, consistent scheduling
• In‑person at our San Antonio location

Overnight ER medicine isn’t for everyone — and that’s okay.

But if it is for you, you deserve a hospital that respects your expertise and supports your success.

We’d love to meet you.
