Dr. Beckett grew up in Robbinston, Maine, the son of two dedicated school teachers. He started his career in Veterinary medicine in the Bangor area first as a Veterinary Assistant and then licensed Veterinary Technician before attending Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine. After graduating in 2014, he returned to Maine and spent 10 years in clinical practice where he acquired invaluable experience in everything from first puppy and kitten appointments, to wellness care, to treating and managing complex injuries and illnesses.

Throughout it all, the appointments that touched him most deeply were the ones when a family was saying goodbye to their beloved companion. Helping pets leave this world with dignity and comfort, and without needless suffering has always felt like the most sacred duty.

After an especially hard year of euthanizing 8 of his personal animals, some at home and some in a clinic setting, he felt called to begin offering in-home hospice and euthanasia services to his fellow Mainers in the fall of 2024.

Dr. Beckett resides in Exeter, Maine with his wife and their large personal menagerie of cats, dogs, horses, chickens, reptiles and amphibians. In his free time he enjoys geocaching, creative writing, 3D printing, running, and kayaking.
