About Doorstep Vet
Founded in 2016, Doorstep Vet is an exclusive mobile euthanasia practice serving Austin and the surrounding communities. It was started by Dr. Casey Hill in an effort to improve her own quality of life as she struggled to find her place in the demanding and often thankless world of veterinary medicine.
Since that time, we have grown to be able to serve more of our community and, even more importantly, bring the peace and wellbeing that comes with this career to more veterinarians. As we’ve grown, we have been dedicated to the idea that Doorstep Vet is here to serve, first and foremost, the people who work for it, not just its owners. We are able to do that by accomplishing one of our other important company values which is to provide comfort and aid to pets and families during end-of-life.
Our Company Values
We believe that a company should have defined company values which exist as a guiding light for the individual members of the team. It allows us to present a united experience to our clients and helps us to make decisions in situations that are not straightforward.
Most of all, our company values unite us as a team. Anyone joining our team should feel that their personal values can be aligned with our company values in the context of their work. This is vital for the individual team member to be fulfilled and satisfied with their work and it is equally important for our company to continue to thrive.
Without further ado, these are Doorstep Vet’s company values listed in order of precidence:
-
We act ethically
-
We exist to provide our employees with a great job
-
We make a difficult time easier for our clients and patients
-
We believe in equitable pricing and compensation
-
We recognize that we don’t have the full picture*
*we withhold judgement and acknowledge that we do not have all of the information that led a family and pet to their current situation (this thought process also applies to our interactions with each other, vendors, support teams, et cetera)
Positions
Associate Veterinarian
An Associate Veterinarian at Doorstep Vet is a compassionate person interested in providing pet euthanasia services to our clients within the comfort of their own homes.
This position provides an elusive work-life balance, typically hard to find in veterinary practice.

All the logistics of making this happen are handled by our compassionate client support and management teams. Appointment scheduling, client communications, and day-to-day operations are taken care of, allowing our veterinarians to focus on what they love doing best: providing needed relief to our patients in the presence of their loving family.
