Roo is a great tool to support with your hiring process that will save you time. Work together and see how Vets or Techs care for pets, connect with your clients, and mesh with your existing team before you make a full or part-time hire that you know will be a great fit.

Roo prices shifts based on market factors like your hospital’s location, type of veterinary work performed, local supply and demand factors, and the length of the shift itself.
We’ll always let you know what a shift will cost before you post it, and you’ll be able to update the final price in real time before you commit. If a shift’s pricing is too high, you can bring down the shift’s cost by adjusting start/end times and other factors.
Roo takes care of all payments and payroll taxes! That’s work off your plate and time saved.
You’ll never have to worry about whether a Roo relief professional will be paid on time, and you won’t have to deal with any taxes or start paperwork. With Roo, it’s all taken care of.
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.
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. You can also select a Technician Tier based on the skills required for your Tech Shifts.
Your hospital is not responsible for providing liability insurance for Roo relief professionals. While we’re unable to require Roo relief professionals carry liability insurance as independent contractors, we do highly recommend all our Vets obtain their own professional liability and license defense coverages.
If you would like to make liability insurance a requirement for shifts at your hospital, please reach out to our Support Team. We’re happy to work with you to accommodate your needs.
How you facilitate Roo Relief Vets and Techs at your hospital is up to you. We recommend providing a good experience as this will make them want to come back and help your hospital again, improving your ability to find coverage.
Some best practices are reaching out to your Relief Vet or Tech at least 24 hours before their shift using the 🔔 Roo Messaging feature to let them know what to expect during their shift and any other relevant information about your hospital (like where to park, dress code, PIMS login info, etc.).
To save time, you can upload Onboarding Documents that will automatically be shared with confirmed Vets or Techs ahead of their shifts and can include any important info you want them to know.
It’s nice to have a team member greet the Vet or Tech when they first arrive to show them around before their day begins. This gives them someone they can go to with questions throughout the day.
Yes. You can make having a DEA license a requirement when creating a new shift. When you select the option “DEA License Required,” only Vets with DEA Registration will be able to view and request your shift.
YES! We have teamed with Fear Free to match Fear Free Certified Hospitals with Fear Free Relief Professionals for a seamless experience that upholds your hospital’s values.
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.
We have a zero tolerance policy for no-call/no-shows very and take this very seriously. If a Roo Vet or Tech doesn’t show up for a shift, please let our Support Team know immediately. We’ll try to reach them, and if we can’t get in touch, we’ll do our best to find you a replacement as fast as possible using our SOS tools (free of charge).
If we can’t find a replacement, you’ll be refunded the full amount for the shift.
"What we appreciate most is the ability to work with the people before making an offer. It gives us a chance to assess them and essentially do that working interview."
Roo can help you find your next full or part-time hire that you know will be a great fit for your team!
Our Career Pathways Team partners with you throughout the recruiting process to connect you with our best Veterinarians who are looking for full or part-time positions. Work a relief shift together and see how it goes. If it’s a great fit, we can help with the transition.
Stay productive while giving your team time off or bring in Roo Vets and Techs during busy periods to reduce the burden on your staff. The result: happier teams that practice better medicine. You'll never have to choose between productivity and burnout again.
We take care of taxes, payroll, and review the credentials, qualifications, and experience of all our healthcare providers, so you can feel comfortable you’re always getting support you can trust.
