Stamford, CT, United States Heartstrings Pet Hospice, In-Home Euthanasia & Aftercare Full time
About 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-backed organizations, our focus is on people-our families, our patients, and our medical team.

We are expanding into Stamford, Connecticut & Other Surrounding Area's 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.
Position Overview

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.

Why Heartstrings?

  • 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.
