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.

• 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.

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

• 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.
