Part-Time Veterinarian - Cleveland, OH

Heartstrings Pet Hospice & In‑Home Euthanasia & Aftercare

This 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 hiring Associate Veterinarians in Cleveland, Lakewood, Shaker Heights and surrounding areas. 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, Veterinary Care Specialists, and a 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.

• Your voice matters — clinically and professionally

No Non‑Compete Requirement

Your career belongs to you. Always.

Flexibility & Balance
