The veterinary profession has long been associated with compassion, dedication, and resilience. Yet many veterinarians face burnout, unpredictable schedules, and financial uncertainty, often leaving them questioning how to balance their love for animals with their own well-being. Out of this challenge came a new model designed to restore joy and sustainability in veterinary careers. That model is Evette Staffing, a people-first organization reshaping relief work for veterinarians across the United States.
At its core, Evette Staffing exists to create an environment where veterinarians can reclaim freedom in their work without sacrificing stability. By pairing innovative employment structures with deeply human-centered values, the company has become both a trusted partner to clinics and a lifeline to veterinary professionals.
The mission of Evette Staffing is straightforward yet profound: take care of the people so they can focus on taking care of the animals. Everything the company does ties back to this central philosophy. Relief veterinarians are often left to navigate inconsistent hours and uncertain pay. Evette tackles these challenges directly with a guaranteed salary program that allows professionals to enjoy the flexibility of relief work while also having the security of predictable income, benefits, and paid time off.
The company’s values—collaboration, honesty, entrepreneurial spirit, being driven, and solution-oriented thinking—are more than guiding words. They are active principles woven into daily interactions with both veterinarians and clinic partners. Collaboration promotes teamwork and respect for diverse perspectives. Honesty emphasizes transparency and accountability. A driven mindset encourages professional growth. The entrepreneurial spirit fuels creativity and innovation, while solution-oriented thinking ensures challenges are met with practical and ethical approaches.
These values create a culture where veterinarians feel supported, clinics feel confident, and clients benefit from continuity of care.
While many staffing agencies operate with a transactional mindset, Evette Staffing prioritizes relationships and culture. Employees are encouraged to share ideas directly with leadership, including the CEO, reinforcing the belief that innovation can come from anywhere. This openness builds trust and ownership across the organization.
Volunteer opportunities and community engagement further strengthen team bonds. Staff members regularly participate in events that allow them to give back together, creating a sense of purpose beyond day-to-day operations. This culture of empowerment, openness, and connection is one of the defining features of the organization.
Evette Staffing is widely recognized for its Guaranteed Salary Program (GSA), which eliminates the uncertainty often tied to relief work. With the GSA, veterinarians know they have consistent pay and benefits, while also enjoying the flexibility of reduced work schedules. Many full-time veterinarians with the company work only three days a week or 12 days a month. This balance reduces burnout while still allowing professionals to build fulfilling careers.
A signature feature of the company’s approach is its white glove service. Each veterinarian is paired with a dedicated staffing manager who builds a real relationship with them. Managers create tailored schedules, match veterinarians with clinics that align with their working style, and provide ongoing support. This high-touch model not only improves the lives of veterinarians but also ensures clinics have dependable, well-matched professionals available.
Clinics benefit significantly from Evette’s model. Unlike gig-based or freelance systems, Evette employs its veterinarians as part-time or full-time team members, allowing clinics to see the same doctors regularly. This consistency strengthens workflow, reduces disruptions, and helps build trust among staff and pet owners alike.
Staffing managers also play a critical role in introducing veterinarians to clinics, setting expectations, and ensuring cultural alignment. By focusing on personality, communication style, and clinic culture, managers create partnerships where both veterinarians and clinics thrive. This continuity of care benefits animals, clients, and the clinics themselves by enhancing productivity and reputation.
Evette Staffing goes beyond providing salaries and benefits. Its Tier Reward Trips are a standout program that recognizes the contributions of its veterinarians. These trips are fully planned by the company, allowing doctors to simply enjoy the experience without worrying about logistics. The gesture underscores the company’s mission of taking care of people so they can focus on animals.
Additional benefits such as medical, dental, 401K, and paid time off round out the package, ensuring that veterinarians are supported personally and professionally. By making recognition and well-being a priority, Evette sets itself apart from other staffing providers in the veterinary field.
The true measure of Evette Staffing’s success lies in the stories of the veterinarians, clinics, and communities it serves. One rescue center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, faced the heartbreaking possibility of closing due to a lack of consistent veterinary coverage. The shelter’s clinic had over 1,000 voicemails from community members desperate for affordable pet care. When Evette stepped in with a full-time doctor, the shelter was able to stay open. The owner described the support as “the answer to her prayers,” highlighting the real-world impact of the company’s mission.
In another example, a small rural clinic in Indiana was at risk of shutting down after the owner fell ill. Without coverage, community members would have had to travel over an hour to the nearest veterinary service. Evette provided reliable relief support, keeping the clinic open and maintaining a vital lifeline for the community.
These stories reflect more than staffing solutions. They illustrate Evette’s role as a partner in sustaining communities, protecting animals, and preserving access to care.
Leadership at Evette Staffing is grounded in its core values of collaboration, honesty, being driven, entrepreneurial spirit, and solution-oriented thinking. Leaders prioritize open communication and feedback at every level. Initiatives like “Bagels with the Boss” allow team members to connect directly with the CEO, share ideas, and ask questions. This hands-on, approachable leadership style ensures that employees feel valued and heard.
Leaders also remain closely connected to the veterinary industry, staying current on trends and collaborating on new solutions. This proactive approach enables the company to adapt to industry shifts while remaining true to its values.
As Evette Staffing looks to the future, its focus remains on intentional growth. Expanding its national reach, strengthening clinic partnerships, and continuing to refine the experience for veterinarians are top priorities. By staying grounded in its mission and values, the company aims to scale without losing the personal touch that has defined its culture.
Future initiatives will include new rewards, enhanced communication strategies, and forward-thinking staffing solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of both veterinarians and clinics. Through careful planning and commitment to people-first principles, Evette is poised to remain a leader in veterinary staffing.
The veterinary field faces ongoing challenges with burnout, retention, and mental health. Evette Staffing emphasizes that the key to overcoming these issues lies in prioritizing people. Clinics are encouraged to foster cultures of openness, recognize team achievements, and provide relief support when needed. For veterinarians feeling overwhelmed, the company stresses that it is okay to explore alternative ways of working, whether that means relief work, new scheduling boundaries, or finding a clinic more aligned with personal values.
The broader message is clear: when people feel supported, everything else improves. By fostering strong relationships, encouraging transparency, and celebrating individuals, veterinary professionals and clinic owners can build sustainable practices that benefit both staff and animals.
Evette Staffing has redefined what relief work can mean in the veterinary industry. By combining security with flexibility, supporting veterinarians with innovative programs, and prioritizing long-term relationships with clinics, the company has created a model that benefits all stakeholders. Its mission-driven approach, rooted in core values and guided by compassionate leadership, ensures that veterinarians can find fulfillment in their careers while clinics receive dependable, high-quality support.
In a field where burnout and staffing challenges remain pressing issues, Evette Staffing offers more than a solution. It offers hope, empowerment, and sustainability for the future of veterinary medicine.
