Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a minimum amount of hours or shifts I need to work?
Accordion indicator

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.

Does Roo cost anything?
Accordion indicator

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.

Does Roo withhold taxes from my paychecks?
Accordion indicator

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.

Does Roo require a non-compete?
Accordion indicator

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.

When and how do I get paid?
Accordion indicator

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!

If I'm already employed full-time, should I still sign up with Roo?
Accordion indicator

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!

Does Roo require liability insurance?
Accordion indicator

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!
