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 Brooklyn, New York, and surrounding areas and are seeking exceptional Associate Veterinarians who want to practice meaningful medicine in a supportive, values‑driven environment. You will never be asked to sign a non‑compete agreement.

Position Overview

As an Associate Veterinarian, 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.

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.

• Strong communicator during emotionally sensitive situations.
• Seeking meaningful, purpose‑driven veterinary work.

• 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 lb unassisted and up to 100 lb 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.
• CE registration covered at conferences where Heartstrings exhibits (VMX, WVC, etc.).
• All medical equipment, medications, and supplies provided.
• Strong administrative, scheduling, and on‑call leadership support.
• Growth opportunities within a rapidly expanding, privately owned practice.
