How are Roo's relief vets and techs screened? What are their qualifications?

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.

When setting up your hospital profile, you’ll have the option to indicate whether your hospital is Fear Free Certified, which will be visible to Vets and Techs. Roo Vets and Techs will also indicate whether they are Fear Free Certified on their profiles, so you can choose to confirm relief professionals who hold these certifications.
