About Heartstrings Pet Hospice

Heartstrings Pet Hospice is a privately owned, rapidly growing in‑home euthanasia and end‑of‑life care practice founded on the 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 Jacksonville, Palm Valley, Orange Park, Baldwin Yulee & Surrounding Areas and 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, 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.
• 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.

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.
• 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 the 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.
