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 expanding into Cleveland, Westlake, Strongsville, Chagrin, Cuyahoga Falls, Kent & 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'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?

• 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

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

• 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

• 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)
