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 Austin, Plugerville, Georgetown, Round Rock, New Braunfels and surrounding areas 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.

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.

• Direct access to leadership and medical decision‑makers

• A collaborative, family‑centered culture

• Support families through the end‑of‑life process with empathy, patience, and professionalism

• Participate in ongoing training, education, and clinical development

• 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.

• Active (or ability to obtain) veterinary license in the state of practice
• Must possess a valid U.S. driver’s license
