About Heartstrings Pet Hospice & In-Home Euthanasia & Aftercare

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. We are expanding into Detroit, Troy, Royal Oak, Ferndale, Southfield and surrounding areas 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 will 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?

• 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

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

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

• 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.

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

• 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

• Strong administrative, scheduling, and on‑call leadership support
• Growth opportunities within a rapidly expanding, privately owned practice
