1. 5/5Relief Work Made Easy

   Several months ago I joined the Roo team just to see what was out there and maybe make some extra money if the “right” shift became available. I browsed the shifts occasionally but never requested any. Then I got laid off. Having an immediate option to continue earning money was wonderful. It took away all the stress of losing my job. I’ve done three shifts so far and it’s been amazing. All the little stressful details of finding relief shifts are already taken care of, so all I have to do is go out and be a good doctor. Hospital staff has been so grateful to me for filling shifts, keeping their doors open so that they can come to work and earn a paycheck, so I’ve not seen any unfriendly employees so far. And I’m making a lot more money than I have ever earned per shift, even though I’m careful to save some of it for taxes. So far I’ve signed up for a total of 9 shifts, and will be able to easily pay my bills for another two months. I am considering doing relief work long term now. I will definitely never again consider taking a regular job that isn’t a good fit for me because bills needto be paid.

2. 5/5Easy to use, get paid, and get organized.

   What a great idea for an app and company! I found this app very convenient to use while on the road. I still prefer to use the website version as I can have my personal schedule open side by side while signing up for things, but this is great for double checking things. Overall have been very happy with my roo shifts and have gotten paid quickly and can easily ask for overtime payment and leave feedback if needed. Would recommend.

3. 3/5Great App Idea, but…

   I was really excited when I found this app. I am currently in school to get my LVT and to become a licensed tech. When I was reading about Roo it looked like there were relief shifts available for veterinary technicians as well as veterinary assistants. When I went to sign up and create my account, the Roo app wouldn’t let me move forward without selecting one of the credentials. I do not have my LVT/CVT/RVT yet, nor am I a VTS. In Texas you can be a veterinary technician without being licensed or credentialed. I think it would be great if there was an option for students to select that they don’t have their credentials yet. I’m also confused how Roo can say that there are veterinary assistant shifts available when veterinary assistants have their own set of credentials (if they have obtained any at all), all of which were not listed as options to choose. Please make this app more accessible to every veterinary professional.

4. 1/5Two months no payment

   It’s been two months now, multiple phone calls and emails and being spoken to rudely and still haven’t been paid for one shift. ONE SHIFT! Two months for payment? People use this app to get money quick. Twice they said they would deposit my money within three days. My bank had been verified twice but apparently not completely. Had to give a random person there my personal information including my banking information to try and have them do it (they said this way would be faster and easier) since nope, now coming up on another week after giving them my personal information to verify my bank and get paid. I worked one single shift two months ago and have not been paid. I have had multiple 0.01 cent deposits into my account and nothing verified?! I will never use this relief app ever again and will continue to tell my friends to stay away from it. If it is this hard for you to pay someone YOU have a problem not ME and my bank! FIX YOUR PAYMENT ISSUES!

5. 5/5Great but needs changes

   I think this app is phenomenally built well and super easy to navigate. I would like if they had away for too techs to put their availability so other hospitals can see. Or a way for too tech to message hospitals to offer them different times. For example if there is an 8-4 shift but tech can only do 8-2 they can offer that to the hospital but it’s up to the hospital to accept that. Just a thought
