The Animal Care Centers have been Cincinnati's leading provider of veterinary services, pet care, boarding and grooming for over 40 years, with offices in Fairfield, Forest Park and Blue Ash. Our practice has been selected as "Best of Cincinnati" 11 times and has an excellent reputation in the community. Our clinics are equipped with state-of-the-art veterinary technology, including digital radiography, ultrasounds, laser surgical units, cold laser therapy and more.
Receptionists (who are also called customer service representatives) are the customer-relations experts in a veterinary practice. They are the client’s first impression of the practice, on the phone or in person. Receptionists must possess strong organizational skills, excellent telephone and in-person communication skills, and the ability to remain calm under pressure. Receptionists must have compassion for animals and their owners and understand the stress that patients and clients endure.
Receptionists are responsible for greeting clients; differentiating routine cases from emergency cases; scheduling appointments; entering client, patient, and financial data into the computer; generating invoices and explaining them to clients; processing payments; and managing the retrieval and storage of medical records.
Receptionists should expect to spend nearly all of their workdays at the front desk. The position requires the completion of a high-school degree or further education, competence in the English language, patience, and a pleasant manner. Ideally, newly hired receptionists will possess computer skills and have had cashier and related front-office work experience.

What We Do
At Community Veterinary Partners, we believe a kinder, more compassionate world begins with how we care—for animals, for people, and for each other. We’re a growing community of over 140 locally led general practice, exotic, large animal, and ER/Specialty veterinary hospitals, across 18 states, united by a shared mission: to create more meaningful moments between pets and people. Each hospital in our community has its own story, culture, and values—and we believe in honoring and celebrating that individuality. What brings us together is a commitment to care that’s not just clinically excellent, but deeply human in spirit. Our work is guided by four core pillars: • Elevate Care: through clinical autonomy, innovation, and shared expertise • Champion People: with well-being support, mentorship, and career growth • Enhance Experiences: for our teams, clients, and patients alike • Expand Impact: in the communities we serve and the profession we love Whether it’s mentoring the next generation of doctors, hosting clinical trials, fostering leadership, or helping a team open the doors to a new hospital, CVP is building something lasting: a trusted community where veterinary professionals feel seen, supported, and empowered to lead. We’re not just in the business of veterinary medicine—we’re building a place where people grow, teams thrive, and every meaningful moment of care makes a difference.
