Baltimore Free CE

No! Roo CE Events are for the Veterinary Community — NO STRINGS ATTACHED! All veterinarians and technicians are welcome to attend whether they're Roo Users or not. Roo CE Events are completely free, and you're not committed to join by attending.

No! It’s completely free for vets. It costs nothing to join, and there are no membership fees or other costs. You’ll only make money with Roo.

No! You have complete control over your schedule. Only work when you want, period. Take as much time off as you like, Roo will always be here for you.

No! Roo stands for the freedom of vets everywhere. Therefore, Roo does not require vets to sign a non-compete to work through our platform.

Hospitals have no visibility into your profile, contact info, or search activity until you request a shift through Roo. Hospitals also have no way of seeing who is on the platform. Your activity is hidden from all Roo hospitals until you reach out to them.

Getting paid with Roo is fast and easy — immediately after you rate a shift, you’ll be paid via direct deposit in as little as two business days!

When you first join Roo, you’ll be prompted through a one-time setup where you fill out a W-9 form and link your bank account. After that, all payments are sent to you automatically, no waiting around and no chasing it down!

No. As a relief veterinarian, taxes are not taken out of your income, so you’ll get paid every cent you see listed on the shift card. However, you will be responsible for paying taxes on this income at a later date, so we recommend setting some of your Roo earnings aside for tax payments.

Roo provides a number of resources and significant help with your taxes as an independent contractor, which you can find in our Tax Center. Roo's platform automatically keeps track of your earnings and milage to help you file taxes each year.

Yes! Even if you're employed full-time, you can always pick up relief shifts to earn extra money. Relief work is also a great way to try new hospitals and specialties and learn from other doctors. Roo is free to join with no membership fees and no penalties for inactivity so you have nothing to lose!

While Roo does not require you have personal liability insurance, we highly recommend getting your own coverage as you won’t be covered under the hospital’s policy as an independent contractor. Roo has teamed with the AVMA to offer PLIT plans that are affordable and convenient. You can get covered for a whole year for less than half of what you’ll make working just one shift!
