Job description

Practice Medicine the Way It Should Be

Tired of corporate production quotas, burnout culture, and one-size-fits-all protocols? At Rootstown Veterinary Hospital, we believe excellent patient care starts with supporting the people who provide it.

We are a thriving, privately owned small-animal clinic looking for a part-time Associate Veterinarian who values autonomy, collaboration, and a schedule that respects your life outside of work. No quotas. No emergency hours. Just thoughtful, case-by-case medicine in a supportive, team-centered environment.

Meet the Team

We currently have two full-time veterinarians, with our owner rotating between part-time and full-time coverage to support flexible scheduling and balanced workloads.

Why You’ll Love It Here

• Freedom to Practice: No rigid corporate mandates. We encourage open thinking and individualized treatment plans where patient care comes first, not production targets.


• A Culture That Cares: From annual team gatherings to monthly book clubs and interactive team meetings, your voice is heard here. Leadership actively monitors workloads to prevent overwhelm.


• Structure: 1-hour lunch breaks + catch-up blocks built into the schedule.


• Incredible Support: Work alongside a collaborative, long-term team with an exceptional 5–6 support staff per veterinarian (including dedicated RVTs, assistants, and receptionists).

We’re happy to provide references from previous relief and hired veterinarians upon request.

Exceptional Compensation & Unique Benefits

• Salary: $70,000–$100,000 (Based on 18–27 hours/week)


• Student Loan Relief: Monthly student loan contribution paid directly to your lender.


• Health & Retirement: Monthly health insurance stipend + 401(k) with employer match.


• CE & Dues: Fully paid CE (includes full conference registration + 3-night hotel stay), plus paid AVMA, OVMA, license fees, and DEA registration.


• Perks: Paid vacation/personal time, performance bonuses, yearly uniform allowance, and generous employee pet discounts.

Our Facility & Technology

We operate out of a beautifully designed facility equipped with the tools you need to practice high-quality medicine:

• Large surgical suite with Bionet BM3 monitor (CO sensor)


• Full-body digital radiography & Midmark dental radiographs (Dentalaire unit)


• In-house Idexx CBC, Chemistry Analyzer & Urinalysis, plus Tonovet Pro & K-Laser therapy


• Traveling ultrasound & echocardiogram services with board-certified IM/Cardiology review


• Updated electronic medical records (Impromed system)

What We Are Looking For

We are seeking a collaborative, growth-minded veterinarian who is passionate about small animal medicine and dedicated to ethical, compassionate care.

• DVM or equivalent veterinary degree from an accredited institution.


• Active veterinary license in the State of Ohio (or eligible to receive one).


• Strong communication skills, a healthy sense of humor, and an emotionally intelligent, team-oriented approach.


• Flexibility to work part-time hours, including rotating Saturdays.


• Bonus points if you have a special interest or focus in dental work!

Ready to practice medicine with integrity? We’d love to meet you and show you around!
