Physician - Emotional Support Animal Assessor (Colorado)
Company Description
Pettable was founded by pet lovers who believe our animals are family. We help people stay together with the pets that support their mental health - especially when it comes to housing - by connecting them with licensed clinicians who can assess their need for an emotional support animal and, where clinically appropriate, provide an ESA letter.
We're an established platform serving tens of thousands of clients a year, backed by a support team that handles scheduling, billing, and client communication so you can focus on care.

Time Commitment
This is a 1099 contractor role with flexible, self-directed hours.
Pettable operates as a marketplace: clients book directly with providers based on availability and fit, so your volume reflects overall client demand and the availability you open. Providers who offer near-term and same-day availability tend to see the most client volume—clients are seeking prompt support, and open near-term slots are what convert. We can't guarantee a set number of clients, but demand across our network is strong and steady.
Compensation
$90 - $120 per hour
Hourly rate potential is based on the # of consults performed. You will be compensated $30/consult, and consults typically take ~15-20 minutes.
Location
This is a US-based, remote position; however, you must hold a valid Colorado license to practice medicine.
