Job description

In-Home Hospice & Euthanasia Veterinarian — Pearland & Friendswood, Texas.

Heartstrings Pet Hospice is hiring Full-Time in-home hospice and euthanasia veterinarians to serve pet families across Metropolitan Pearland & Friendswood, Texas. $110,000–$140,000, you set your own schedule, and there is NO Non-Compete agreement.

No waiting room. No double-booked appointment columns. No production dashboard. Just you, a family who loves their pet, and the time to provide end-of-life care the way you believe it should be provided.

Why veterinarians choose Heartstrings

• No non-compete. None. Not a shortened one. Not a smaller radius. Not a \"reasonable\" restriction. Your career stays yours.
• Privately held, family-owned, doctor-led. We are not a private-equity-owned veterinary group.
• You set your hours. Self-managed scheduling, backed by a dedicated scheduling, operations, and veterinary medical team.

Who thrives here

Doctors who have always been best in the moments that matter most - the hard conversations, anticipatory grief, and compassionate end-of-life care.

If you have ever finished a euthanasia appointment thinking \"that was the most meaningful thing I did all week — I just wish I'd had another twenty minutes,\" you already understand this work.

Strong fit for experienced general practice and emergency veterinarians stepping away from clinic pace without stepping away from medicine, veterinarians returning to clinical practice, and doctors building a schedule around family or life outside of work.

What you need

• DVM, VMD, BVMS, or equivalent degree from an accredited or otherwise qualifying program
• Active Pennsylvania veterinary license, or eligibility to obtain one
• Valid U.S. driver's license and ability to travel between appointments
• Comfort working independently in the field
• Empathetic, clear communication during end-of-life conversations
• Availability for rotational weekend scheduling
• Ability to lift 50 lbs unassisted and assist with up to 100 lbs, with reasonable accommodation
• Successful background and motor vehicle record check after hire

BENEFITS

Compensation & autonomy

• $110,000 - $140,000 based on experience and schedule

• No non-compete agreement

Health & insurance

• Medical, dental, and vision
• FSA and Dependent Care FSA
• life insurance
• short- and long-term disability
• AD&D
• pet insurance

Time off

• Generous PTO that increases with tenure
• paid parental leave
• separate Continuing Education time off

Retirement & development

• 401(k)
• up to $2,000 annual CE allowance (based on eligible schedule)

Common questions

Is there a non-compete? No. Heartstrings does not use veterinarian non-compete agreements of any kind.

Do I set my own schedule? Yes. Scheduling is self-managed, with rotational weekend coverage.

Where would I work? In pet families' homes across Metropolitan Pittsburgh and Washington, Pennsylvania — no clinic, no waiting room.

Do I need prior hospice experience? No. GP and ER veterinarians transition into this work successfully, and you'll be supported by our veterinary medical team.

Heartstrings Pet Hospice — Compassion. Dignity. Respect.
