About Calming Pathways

Calming Pathways provides in-home euthanasia for pets, helping families say goodbye with their pet comfortable, at home, surrounded by the people who love them. We're being started by a company with a successful in-home euthanasia business model in another city, and we're bringing that proven model to Boston. If you've felt the toll of high-volume clinical work or in-hospital end-of-life care, this role is built differently: one family at a time, no waiting room, no rush.

What a Day Looks Like

You set your availability in the app, five days a week. We match you with appointments and pair you with a veterinary technician for support and setup. You drive to the family's home, provide compassionate in-person euthanasia care, and handle the medical side. We handle booking, payment, and client communication before and after the visit.

Compensation & Structure

• W-2 employee position with benefits, not a contractor role.
• Paid per completed appointment. Annual earnings range from $175,000-$225,000 depending on appointment volume.

• Active DEA registration and Massachusetts Controlled Substances Registration (MCSR), or eligibility to obtain them
• 2+ years of small animal clinical experience
