Job description

About Heartstrings Pet Hospice

Heartstrings Pet Hospice is a privately owned, rapidly growing in-home euthanasia and end-of-life care practice founded on our core values of Compassion, Dignity, and Respect. Unlike corporate or private-equity–backed organizations, our focus is on people—our families, our patients, and our medical team.

We are Hiring DVM Team Members in Troy, Detroit & Surrounding Area's and we are seeking exceptional Associate Veterinarians who want to practice meaningful medicine in a supportive, values-driven environment.

At Heartstrings, you will never be asked to sign a non-compete agreement.
We believe great veterinarians stay because they’re valued—not because they’re restricted.

Position Overview

As an Associate Veterinarian with Heartstrings Pet Hospice, you will provide compassionate, gentle in-home euthanasia, hospice, and palliative care. You’ll work independently in the field while being fully supported by a collaborative medical leadership team, dedicated Veterinary Care Specialists (VCS), and strong operational infrastructure.

This role offers flexibility, autonomy, emotional fulfillment, and a low-stress medical environment, allowing you to focus on what matters most—supporting pets and families during life’s most meaningful moments.

Why Heartstrings?

Privately Owned – Not Corporate

• Direct access to leadership and medical decision-makers
• No private equity or volume-driven pressure
• A collaborative, family-centered culture
• Your voice matters—clinically and professionally

No Non-Compete Requirement

Your career belongs to you. Always.

Flexibility & Balance

• Full-time and part-time opportunities
• Thoughtfully scheduled appointments
• No clinic chaos, no double-booking
• Autonomy over your workday

Purpose-Driven Medicine

Every visit is centered on comfort, compassion, and dignity—for pets and the people who love them.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide in-home euthanasia, hospice, and palliative care in a compassionate, Fear Free–aligned manner
• Support families through the end-of-life process with empathy, patience, and professionalism
• Maintain accurate and timely medical documentation
• Collaborate with Heartstrings’ medical leadership and support teams
• Participate in ongoing training, education, and clinical development

Ideal Candidate

• Compassionate, emotionally intelligent, and client-focused
• Comfortable working independently in the field
• Strong communicator during emotionally sensitive situations
• Seeking meaningful, purpose-driven veterinary work
• Values autonomy, flexibility, and a supportive team environment
• Interested in a long-term role with a privately owned practice

Experience in hospice, palliative care, or Fear Free certification is a plus—but not required. Comprehensive training is provided.

Veterinarian Core Responsibilities

• Provide in-home euthanasia and hospice care for geriatric and terminally ill pets
• Guide families in making end-of-life decisions for their pets
• Build relationships with local veterinary clinics, serving as an extension of their excellent care

Requirements

• Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM, VMD, or BVMS) from an accredited veterinary school
• Active (or ability to obtain) veterinary license in the state of practice
• Must possess a valid U.S. driver’s license
• Availability to work some weekends as part of a rotating schedule
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs unassisted and up to 100 lbs with assistance
• Candidates will be subject to a background check and motor vehicle record (MVR) check post-hire and prior to their associated start date

Benefits

• No non-compete agreement
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Short-term and long-term disability
• Paid time off
• DEA reimbursement
• State veterinary license reimbursement (including multi-state coverage when applicable)
• Access to VetGirlU
