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 Hiring DVM Team Members San Jose and 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.
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.
Your career belongs to you. Always.
Every visit is centered on comfort, compassion, and dignity—for pets and the people who love them.
Experience in hospice, palliative care, or Fear Free certification is a plus—but not required. Comprehensive training is provided.
