Heartstrings Pet Hospice & In-Home Euthanasia & Aftercare Pay RangeAbout 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-backs organizations, our focus is on people—our families, our patients, and our medical team. We are expanding into the San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Berkeley, San Mateo, Redwood City & 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 will work independently in the field while being fully supported by a collaborative medical leadership team, Veterinary Care Specialists, 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.
