Healthcare & Benefits

Roo’s got you covered, literally! We’ve partnered with Stride Health, a company that specializes in helping independent contractors save time and money getting important health coverage to get you the benefits you need. Remember, as a 1099 contractor, any health benefits you enroll in can be written off as expenses on your taxes.

We know health insurance can be a huge stressor for independent contractors, which is why we’ve made big Strides to take this off your plate (see what we did there?).

Life Insurance

Life insurance creates peace of mind for ourselves and our loved ones. Ensure that you can focus on your career goals while knowing that your family is taken care of.

Professional Liability Insurance

While we don’t require you to have personal liability insurance to work Roo shifts, it's highly recommended. Thankfully, Roo has teamed with the AVMA to offer PLIT plans that are affordable and convenient.

Since relief vets are independent contractors, neither Roo nor the hospital is responsible if something goes wrong during a shift. This means it’s up to you to make sure you’re covered. Having your own personal liability and workers comp plans will ensure you’re prepared.
