Traveling Veterinarian – Missouri (State-wide) – #9555

If you’ve ever wanted to practice great medicine and still have the freedom to enjoy your time off, then this is the role you’ve been waiting for! We are looking for traveling Veterinarians to practice throughout the state of Missouri!

Our Traveling DVM program is designed for experienced veterinarians who want flexibility without sacrificing clinical quality, earning potential, or support. Think of it like a travel nursing — but for DVMs, built around how you actually want to live. Full and part-time options are available!

The Schedule

Pick your ideal rotation:

  • 2 weeks on / 2 weeks off — averaging 20 hours per week
  • 3 weeks on / 1 week off — perfect for those who prefer longer rotations

Both options are available — we’ll build the schedule around you!

Compensation & Coverage

  • $135/hr | Part-time, no benefits
  • $100/hr | With full benefits package
  • $2,500 annual CE stipend + paid CE time
  • Professional dues and state license fees covered by CareVet
  • Travel, hotel, and meals covered… we handle the logistics
  • No negative accrual. No upfront non-compete. No surprises.

Where You’ll Practice

Our traveling DVMs rotate across high-performing, community-rooted hospitals located throughout Missouri — from vibrant cities to welcoming small towns. You’ll experience a variety of practice styles, client bases, and caseloads, all while being supported by a consistent and connected network. New locations are added regularly as our footprint continues to grow.

The Medicine

Each hospital is equipped with modern diagnostics and treatment capabilities, giving you the tools to practice high-quality medicine at every stop. We prioritize clinical autonomy — no rigid protocols or unnecessary oversight. You’ll be trusted to make the right decisions for your patients, with the support of a collaborative network behind you.

The Team

With 93% retention across DVMs and support staff, our teams speak for themselves. You’ll walk into hospitals with experienced technicians, supportive leadership, and teams that genuinely value collaboration — making it easy to step in and focus on patient care.

Life in Missouri

Missouri offers a great mix of affordability, convenience, and things to do, which is why so many people choose to call it home. Cities like St. Louis and Kansas City bring major league sports, a growing food scene, and plenty of entertainment, while smaller towns and suburbs give you more space and a slower pace without feeling isolated. The cost of living is lower than the national average, so your money tends to go further whether you’re buying a home or just enjoying day-to-day life. If you like the outdoors, you’ve got easy access to places like the Ozark Mountains, with hiking, lakes, and weekend getaway spots all within driving distance. Plus, Missouri’s central location makes it easy to travel just about anywhere in the country without a hassle.
