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! 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. 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.
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.
Getting paid with Roo is fast and easy — immediately after you work a shift, you’ll be paid via direct deposit in just 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!
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!
Roo Relief Vets earn nearly twice as much per hour as the average full-time associate vet, helping you reach your financial goals faster!
Request the shifts you need to reach your next life milestone like freeing yourself from student loans or putting a down payment on your first home.
"Roo allows me the ability to prioritize my young son. I can build my schedule around his school schedule, holidays, and vacation for his birthday. I’ve never had so much freedom to be able to prioritize my family."
Roo was created to give you total flexibility and autonomy. Take full control of your schedule and choose the shifts you want so you can make time for what’s most important.
The result? Relief Vets surveyed by the AVMA have some of the highest job satisfaction rates in the industry.
"As a full time relief veterinarian who is always traveling, I love how easy Roo makes it to see shifts in any area I want to visit!"
Do away with paperwork, find your ideal shift in seconds, and get paid automatically in as little as two business days saving you valuable time. Plus, we keep track of all your income to make independent contractor taxes a breeze!
