Roo is devoted to providing veterinary relief staff of the highest quality that you can depend on to provide exceptional care.
All our relief professionals are fully licensed in the state(s) in which they fulfill shifts, and we review their qualifications during our onboarding process and conduct background checks. The work history and experience of all our professionals will be available for your review in their profiles.
Additionally, if you need veterinarians who are DEA registered, you can make this a requirement when you post a shift so you can be certain you're getting the qualified support you need.
