Description

Ready to elevate your career? Companion Animal Hospital is excited to add you as an Short Term Stay Veterinarian! Our team located in Lakeland, Florida prides themselves on their collaborative culture that integrates a variety of medical and surgical cases, while supporting you in your professional aspirations.

This is an ideal role for:
  • Full time W2 doctors looking for a location change, a change of pace, or are looking to be reenergized.
  • Relief doctors looking for a little more stability without the full time leash.
  • Seasoned veterinarians looking to slow down without stepping away – keeping clinical skills sharp while traveling, mentoring younger teams, or finding renewed energy in the profession.
  • A doctor who wants flexibility to travel or ability to 'try before you buy' without the leash of a noncompete.
What Makes This Opportunity Special
  • Built-In Flexibility: Choose the locations and time periods that work for your life. Whether you want extended breaks between assignments or back-to-back opportunities, we support your timeline.
  • Housing, Travel and Onboarding Supported: Travel costs and short-term housing are covered with our monthly stipend. This allows you to focus on what you do best—providing excellent care.
  • Strong Compensation & Benefits: Competitive daily rate pay that reflects your experience. No need to set up your own LLC or work through a third party relief agency, you'll be paid as a W2 employee, which can help to simplify your lift during tax season. You're also eligible for benefits like 401k match, pet care discount, and PLIT coverage.
  • Clinical Focus, No Admin: Step away from day-to-day management responsibilities and operational logistics. This role is designed for veterinarians who want to practice medicine—not manage spreadsheets.
  • Support for Life’s Transitions: Whether you’re easing into retirement, returning to clinical work after time away, or simply exploring a new pace, this role offers the flexibility and support to meet you where you are, professionally and personally.
  • State-of the-Art-Facility: Beautiful 3,100 square foot hospital featuring 4 exam rooms
  • Expert Care: Highly skilled veterinary support staff that can run appointments, assist in surgery, run anesthesia, and perform dentals

Key Responsibilities

  • Deliver high-quality medical care in your specified hospital location
  • Serve patients and clients with a relationship-based approach
  • Collaborate and engage with the clinical team and leadership
  • Grow relationships within the practice and the Lakeland community
  • Encourage the growth of support staff members through our internal LevelUp training program
  • Manage a varying caseload, including surgeries and appointments during our open hours
  • Represent AVG with professionalism and compassion in the hospital you support

Skills, Knowledge, and Expertise

  • DVM/VMD degree from an AVMA accredited college (or successful completion of the ECFVG or PAVE program)
  • Active license in good standing to practice in the state in which candidate will be employed (or the ability to obtain a license in that state)
  • Minimum 1 year of clinical experience strongly preferred
  • Comfort in adapting to new clinical environments and team structures
  • Strong communication and a collaborative mindset

Inclusive Compensation Package:

  • Flexible Scheduling with a 3 Day Work Week!
  • Monthly Housing/Travel Stipend for Veterinarians Residing 60+ miles from the Hospital
  • Competitive Compensation Paid as a Daily Rate
  • Part-Time Employment Qualifications and Benefits
  • Significantly Discounted Personal Veterinary Care – Multiple Pets!
  • No Long-Term Commitment Required - 90 day term with ability to renew
  • Easy Transition into Permanent Role with Mutual Interest
  • Covered Professional Liability Insurance (PLIT)
  • Internal Veterinarian Collaboration & Consultations Platforms
  • Custom Hospital Scrubs, Jacket or Lab Coat
  • 401k Retirement Match


Relationships are at the heart of everything we do. At AVG, this phrase is our North Star for empowering our 200+ hospitals across America, including General Practices and the first-of-its-kind industry disruptor, UrgentVet. Our relationship-based approach guides our victories, sweetens our celebrations, fuels our Core Values, and shapes our interactions with intention and compassion.

We believe this sets us apart from everyone across virtually every industry — not our fast growth and countless wins, but our culture and the values that inspire it. Here, our people don’t just work; they thrive, grow, and lead with a passion that's anything but ordinary. And they aren’t just our colleagues; they are our mentors, cheerleaders, and friends.
The best part? There’s room for you at AVG, too.
