It depends on your dates, location, and the type of coverage you need.

Yes. Every DVM we place holds an active California veterinary license, and we verify credentials before they work a shift at your clinic.

We offer single-day relief, recurring per diem shifts, temp-to-hire, and permanent placements. Whether you need coverage for PTO, a sudden call-out, or a long-term hire, we can build a plan around your schedule.

We cover coastal and central Orange County, including Newport Beach, Irvine, Anaheim, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, and Mission Viejo. We support general practices, emergency and urgent care clinics, specialty and referral hospitals, and mobile veterinary services.
