Benefits Package
Denver, Colorado
Life at 9th & Colorado is quintessential Denver-polished, energetic, and effortlessly livable. This walkable, thoughtfully designed neighborhood feels like a small city within the city, where mornings start with artisan coffee, lunchtime errands are done on foot, and evenings unfold over patio dining, boutique fitness classes, or a quick stroll through nearby parks. You're steps from chef-driven restaurants, specialty grocers, and everyday essentials, while Cherry Creek, downtown Denver, and major cultural and medical centers are just minutes away. With more than 300 days of sunshine, easy access to bike paths and green space, and the mountains always on the horizon, residents enjoy an active, outdoor-forward lifestyle without giving up urban convenience. It's a place where work-life balance isn't just encouraged-it's built into the neighborhood.
Office Hours
M-Sat 8am-6pm
Our mission is clear - to become the most trusted and convenient destination for pet parents and partners, everywhere. This is an opportunity to join the industry leader that not only cares about what you do, but what you need as a person. We'll provide competitive benefits, scheduling options that fit your lifestyle, and a collaborative work environment where you can unleash your full potential! Join the team that understands that caring for the pets we love starts with greater care for our veterinary team members. APPLY TODAY!
The base salary range for this role is $145,000 - $232,500.
We offer different types of insurance and benefits, such as medical/Rx, vision, dental, life, disability, hospital indemnity, critical illness, and accident. We offer parental leave, family services benefits, backup dependent care, flexible spending accounts, telemedicine, pet adoption reimbursement, employee assistance program, and many discounts including 10% off pet insurance and 20% off at Chewy.com.
