A career designed for how veterinarians actually want to work

IndeVets is built for veterinarians who want more control over their time without giving up the stability, support, and consistent income they depend on.

This model may be right for you if you:

  • Want control over your schedule without unpredictable income
  • Feel overworked or unsupported in your current role
  • Want to stay in clinical medicine long-term in a more sustainable way
  • Value being part of a team and having support behind you
  • Are curious about relief work but don’t want the instability or extra work that comes with being an independent contractor

You don’t have to choose between autonomy and stability anymore.

You shouldn’t have to choose between stability and control over your schedule

Traditional associate roles offer stability, but often come with limited control over your schedule. Independent relief work offers more control, but can mean unpredictable income and navigating everything on your own.

IndeVets was created by veterinarians who believed there had to be a better way to practice.

This is not shift work. This is a structured veterinary career.

As an Associate IndeVet, you are a salaried veterinarian with the stability of W-2 employment while still having the freedom to choose the days you work.

Say goodbye to negotiating contracts, office politics, and 16-hour days.

Our team coordinates scheduling, logistics, and hospital relationships so you can focus on practicing great medicine, not managing your calendar.

The result is a career that gives you control over your schedule, backed by the stability, support, and structure needed to sustain it long-term.

Relief work, structured as a long-term career

Relief work is often seen as temporary or supplemental. IndeVets was built to change that.

This is not gig work. This is a structured, salaried career path where you can:
