Euthanasia Veterinarian

Veterinarian - In-Home Euthanasia & End of Life Care

Restful Paws | San Francisco Peninsula & South Bay

Some moments in veterinary medicine are quiet and incredibly meaningful.

Restful Paws is seeking a compassionate veterinarian to join our in‑home euthanasia and end‑of‑life care team, supporting families and their beloved pets across the Peninsula and South Bay. This role allows you to practice medicine in one of the most meaningful ways possible – helping pets pass peacefully in the comfort of the home they love, surrounded by the people who love them most.

No specialized experience necessary!

For many veterinarians, this work becomes one of the most fulfilling parts of their career. You’re welcomed into a client’s home during an incredibly important moment, and your presence, empathy, and expertise truly matter.

If you’re looking for a change in your career path while still making a profound impact, this could be the right next chapter.

• Provide in‑home end of life services for pets and their families
• Travel throughout the San Francisco Peninsula, South Bay, and Fremont
• Work in a calm, intimate setting where you can give clients the time and support they need
• Be supported by dedicated social work trained staff, so you can focus on helping patients
• Daily appreciation and gratitude from clients

We’re ideally seeking a veterinarian who can see ~12 appointments per week (over 3-4 days a week), though we’re open to discussing slightly more or fewer depending on your goals.

• Typical hours scheduled 9‑5
• Some weekend availability needed
• No nights required (unless you prefer them)

This position can be a great fit for veterinarians looking for:

• A more flexible schedule
• A meaningful way to continue practicing
• A slower, more personal pace of medicine
• Be given the time and space to focus on one patient and family at a time

For a schedule of approximately 12 appointments per week, compensation typically ranges from: $70,000 - $150,000 annually, depending on experience and schedule.

• 401(k) participation
• CE support
• Licensing reimbursement
• Mileage reimbursement
• Company‑covered car insurance
• Must possess valid driver's license and own a hatchback or SUV

• Value deeply personal connections with clients
• Want to practice medicine in a more peaceful and intentional setting
• Are seeking a different pace while still making a meaningful impact
• May have stepped away from clinical practice and are looking for a thoughtful way to return
• Have the ability to lift up to 35lbs unassisted and up to 100lbs assisted

This role is based out of SAGE Veterinary Centers in Redwood City or Campbell, serving the Peninsula and South Bay communities.

If providing compassionate guidance during one of life’s most meaningful moments sounds like work that you would find fulfilling, we’d love to connect.
