Care when it counts — from wherever you are.
At Dutch, we’re on a mission to make high-quality veterinary care more accessible, affordable, and supportive for pets and their people — whenever and wherever it’s needed. We believe care shouldn’t be limited by clinic hours, state lines, or how close you live to a vet.
With Dutch, pet parents can connect with licensed veterinarians for real advice, real prescriptions, and real peace of mind — all from the comfort of home.
We're currently seeking experienced veterinarians to join our growing telemedicine team as independent contractors. This is a flexible, remote opportunity ideal for DVMs looking to pick up additional work, explore virtual care, or contribute to meaningful change in how veterinary medicine is delivered.
What You’ll Do
- Conduct virtual consultations with pet parents via video and asynchronous messaging
- Review medical history, symptoms, and treatment concerns shared through Dutch’s digital platform
- Establish a valid VCPR (when required) and determine whether telemedicine is appropriate for the case
- Provide evidence-based treatment recommendations, including prescriptions when clinically appropriate
- Communicate clearly, compassionately, and with care in every interaction
- Document all encounters thoroughly using Dutch’s EMR
- Collaborate with Dutch’s clinical leadership team as needed
What Makes This Role Unique
- Flexible scheduling — Work from anywhere, with scheduling that fits your life
- Remote-only — No commuting, no clinics, no shifts
- Pay per consult — Average $50–$80/hour depending on appointment volume
- Vet-designed platform — Built to support clinical focus, not increase admin burden
You’d Thrive in This Role If You Have:
- Graduated from an AVMA-accredited veterinary school or completed requirements to practice in the United States
- An active license in one or more of the states where Dutch operates*
- A license in good standing with no malpractice or disciplinary actions
- 3+ years post-graduate clinical experience
- A quiet, professional space and reliable internet for video consults
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- A collaborative, compassionate approach to care
- Comfort using telehealth tools and managing consults independently
What to Expect
This is a 1099 contractor role with no set hours — though vets who thrive here typically offer 10–15 hours/week, including some evening or weekend availability.
You’ll be supported by our Clinical Director, Vet Support team, and a streamlined platform that helps you focus on what you do best: providing excellent care to pets and peace of mind to their people.
¹ To prescribe medication, Dutch vets must be licensed in one or more of the following states: AL, AZ, AR, CA, CO, DE, FL, GA, ID, IL, IN, KS, LA, ME, MD, MA, MI, MS, MO, NE, NH, NJ, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SD, TX, VT, VA, WA, WY. You’ll be able to indicate your licensure in the application.
