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 Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News, Portsmouth & Other 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)
