Tired of corporate production quotas, burnout culture, and one-size-fits-all protocols? At Rootstown Veterinary Hospital , we believe excellent patient care starts with supporting the people who provide it.

We are a thriving, privately owned small-animal clinic looking for a part-time Associate Veterinarian who values autonomy, collaboration, and a schedule that respects your life outside of work.

• Structure: 1-hour lunch breaks + catch-up blocks built into the schedule. 
• Incredible Support: Work alongside a collaborative, long-term team with an exceptional 5–6 support staff per veterinarian (including dedicated RVTs, assistants, and receptionists).

We’re happy to provide references from previous relief and hired veterinarians upon request.
