Any and all healthcare professions are regularly experiencing staffing shortages, stress, and strain due to the shifting needs and high stakes of the field. During the 2020 pandemic, for example, hospitals were regularly overwhelmed by inbound patients, with nurses and doctors overbooked and facilities packed to bursting. Both medical facilities and medical professionals alike were overburdened and suffering from insufficient staffing, which impacted the quality of their care and greatly contributed to burnout.
These same pressures exist in veterinary care as well. People who had a dream of helping animals live long and happy lives are being crushed by interminable caseloads, paperwork, and scheduling nightmares. Combined with the already-difficult path of a veterinary care provider—challenging schooling, often exhausting emotional labor, and pressure to perform—these animal care professionals are trapped between a rock and a hard place. The individuals are in danger of burning out, and the clinics are in danger of being unable to keep up with their patients’ needs.
Evette Staffing looks to solve both problems. The company was built to give veterinary professionals more flexibility, financial stability, and career control by providing some of the structural support often given to traditional, human-focused doctors. Founded by a dedicated team of driven industry insiders, Evette Staffing aims to redefine what relief work can look like. Through concierge service, a guaranteed salary program, and systems to enable veterinary care providers to work anywhere within the company’s national network of clinic partners, Evette Staffing is changing the face of veterinary medicine.
Relieving Pressure
Evette Staffing provides structure and support while working as relief veterinarians— filling in when vets are out on leave, clinics are expanding their practice and need to build up clientele, or just want a vacation. Relief vets set their own schedules and work at or with a number of veterinary hospitals and clinics at their own discretion, letting them balance their working and personal lives while ensuring that patients are able to get the care they need. By stepping in for the permanent staff at a clinic, and letting those people take time off and avoid burning out, relief veterinarians play a vital supporting role in keeping animal healthcare functioning smoothly.
Beyond stepping in as temporary replacement vets, these relief veterinarians often also serve as supplementary staff during high-stress, high-pressure periods where clinics and hospitals would otherwise be overwhelmed. The first priority in any healthcare industry is the well-being of the patients, and that often means that the people doing the important work are often exceedingly busy. By relieving that pressure, either by holding space for another or by stepping in to help, relief veterinarians perform an industry-essential service, while still building a solid career.
The Evette Staffing Style
Compassion and pragmatism combine to form the core of Evette Staffing’s company policy and philosophy. As a purpose-driven and solution-oriented company, Evette is deeply committed to making a meaningful difference in the veterinary industry, for the benefit of everyone involved. In the wake of large, commercial clinic expansions leaving few veterinarians and fewer resources for small and independent clinics, many professionals are burnt out, overwhelmed, and disheartened. Evette Staffing is looking to solve these problems for clinics and professionals alike.
Evette Staffing looks to revolutionize the veterinary care industry and the relief vet process by providing support via concierge service and their guaranteed salary program. By doing so, Evette Staffing aims to provide relief vets with the same freedom and flexibility they’re used to, paired with the long-term financial security and certainty that a more traditional associate veterinarian might promise. It’s much easier for professionals to care for patients and perform optimally when their income is predictable and their placements are in alignment with their goals.
In 2024, Evette Staffing staffed veterinarians in 84% of the United States, covering well over 40 of the 50 states to give their veterinarians a wide range of reputable practices to work with. Beyond the accessibility of the network, vets working with Evette have the benefit of a matching program that pairs vets with clinics that share their values and professional strengths. Additionally, the company handles payroll, scheduling, and communication as part of their dedicated concierge service and 24/7 support, taking the burden of administrative duties off the doctor and freeing their time and energy to better serve their patients.
Full time veterinary professionals working with Evette Staffing also benefit from a number of perks and benefits, including medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage, 401K matching, accumulating paid time off, with increasing rewards, the longer your tenure. There are no strings attached—no non-compete agreements to sign, no sign-up fees or paid search coverage, and no binding contracts—just support. Evette’s administrative support and advocacy give relief vets the stability they need, which then lets them give clinics and patients the care they deserve.

While reviews from clinic partners speak highly of the company’s clear vision.
“Having a management team removes all the stress of interviewing hospitals and negotiating pay. Excellent communication and support,” says one review from a small animal relief veterinarian. Another vet says, “There is a big focus on work-life balance with Evette, which is a huge benefit.
