Heartstrings Pet Hospice is hiring an In-Home Hospice and Euthanasia Veterinarians to serve pet families across Cleveland, Shaker Heights, Lakewood, Parma, Garfield Heights & North Olmstead - Ohio.
No waiting room. No double-booked columns. No corporate production dashboard. 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 — and we DO NOT USE NON-COMPETE CONTRACTS. Not a shortened one. Not a "reasonable radius" one. NONE! Unlike the national and private-equity-backed end-of-life networks, your career here is never held hostage by a contract clause. You are free to build your professional life on your own terms, and we would like to earn the right to be part of it.
The veterinarians who love this work tend to be the ones who were always best at 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," you already understand the job.
Experienced doctors looking to step away from the pace of general or emergency practice, without stepping away from medicine, are exactly who we built this for. Doctors returning from a break, or building a schedule around family, are genuinely welcome.

Veterinarian Jobs in Ohio: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a veterinarian in Ohio?
To become a veterinarian in Ohio you must earn a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from an accredited college and pass the North American Veterinary Licensing Examination, then apply for licensure through the Ohio Veterinary Medical Licensing Board. Ohio also requires passing the Ohio Veterinary Jurisprudence Examination, which covers state-specific laws and regulations. Once licensed, you must complete continuing education hours to renew your Ohio license on its two-year cycle.
How much do veterinarians make in Ohio?
Veterinarians in Ohio earn a median of about $125,060 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $54,050 for the lowest 10% to over $207,190 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire veterinarians in Ohio?
Employers hiring veterinarians in Ohio right now include Heartstrings Pet Hospice, In-Home Euthanasia & Aftercare, DESORT STAFFING, and IndeVets, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Ohio's mix of large academic veterinary centers, corporate multi-site practices, and independent clinics means openings exist across a wide range of practice types and patient populations.
Which Ohio cities have the most veterinarian jobs?
Columbus, Cincinnati, and Cleveland have the most veterinarian openings in Ohio. Columbus dominates because of The Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center and a dense network of corporate and independent practices, while Cleveland and Cincinnati support strong demand through specialty and emergency hospitals that draw complex caseloads from surrounding suburban and rural communities.
Are there remote veterinarian jobs in Ohio?
Yes, but they're rare. Veterinary work is almost entirely hands-on and requires physical presence with patients, so fully remote positions are uncommon. About 22% of veterinarian openings tied to Ohio are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those roles tend to be in telehealth triage, veterinary consulting, or medical review rather than direct clinical care.
How can I get hired as a veterinarian in Ohio with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a rotating internship or new-graduate associate position at a large Ohio practice. The Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center and MedVet both offer structured internship and residency programs for new graduates. Veterinary technician experience or a completed externship at an Ohio shelter or mixed-practice clinic strengthens an application considerably, and holding an active Ohio veterinary license before you apply removes a common barrier for hiring managers.
Where can I find and apply to veterinarian jobs in Ohio?
You can find and apply to veterinarian jobs in Ohio on Migrate Mate, which lists current Ohio openings across companion animal, large-animal, emergency, and specialty practices. Find roles that fit your experience and practice preference and apply directly to the employers posting them.
