Hospice Veterinarian | Your Set The Hours | No Non-Compete | Columbia, SC
About The Position
Heartstrings Pet Hospice is seeking a compassionate veterinarian to provide hospice and in-home euthanasia care to pets and families in Columbia, Chapin, Lexington, and Elgin, South Carolina, and surrounding areas. Care is delivered in pets’ homes, where veterinarians have time to listen, explain options, and help families say goodbye with dignity and peace. The role involves independent mobile practice with support from the team, including thoughtful onboarding, one-on-one mentorship, and experienced colleagues available for guidance. Schedules are available for two to five days per week, with self-managed scheduling options. Compensation depends on the schedule: five-day full-time positions offer a $90,000 base salary plus quarterly bonus opportunities; four-day full-time positions start at $105,000 plus quarterly bonus opportunities; and two- and three-day full-time or self-managed part-time schedules receive prorated compensation. The posting gives a full-time compensation range of $50,000 to $130,000, depending on schedule. Veterinarians choose four weekend days per month rather than working a fixed weekend rotation. Heartstrings is family-owned, does not use non-compete agreements, and offers guaranteed base salary without negative accrual.
