In-Home Euthanasia & Pet Hospice Veterinarian - No Non-Compete | Louisville, KY
About the role
Heartstrings Pet Hospice is hiring an In-Home Hospice and Euthanasia Veterinarian to serve pet families across Louisville, St. Matthews, Lyndon, High Point, Shively, and Spring Mill, Kentucky. This role offers the opportunity to practice medicine without a waiting room, double-booked schedules, or corporate production metrics—just you, a family who loves their pet, and the time to do it right.
We are a privately held, family-owned, and doctor-led veterinary practice that does not use non-compete contracts. Your career here is built on your terms, and we aim to earn the right to be part of it.
Who thrives here
The veterinarians who excel in this role are those who find meaning in the hard conversations. If you’ve ever finished a euthanasia appointment and thought, "that was the most meaningful thing I did all week—I wish I’d had another twenty minutes," this role is designed for you.
We welcome experienced doctors looking to step away from the pace of general or emergency practice without leaving medicine, as well as those returning from a break or building a schedule around family.
