Work / Life Balance

Becoming a traveling relief doctor isn’t just about changing where you work—it’s about changing how you live. We know firsthand that relief medicine can give veterinarians the freedom to create better work/life balance while still practicing high-quality care. By choosing your own schedule, you can work fewer shifts, avoid burnout, and still earn a competitive income that supports your goals.

​

Relief work gives you variety, flexibility, and the chance to experience new hospitals without being tied down by corporate contracts or unrealistic demands. Whether you’re craving more family time, hoping to travel, or simply ready to reclaim your passion for good medicine, Roaming DVM is here to help you chart a new path. Life outside the clinic matters—and relief work makes it possible.

Freedom

Relief work should give you freedom—not tie you down. You decide when, where, and how often you want to work. Best of all, we take care of the logistics of that schedule so you can focus on what matters most: practicing great medicine on your own terms.

​

With The Roaming DVM, you get flexibility, independence, and the peace of mind that comes from working with a vet-owned, non-corporate agency that understands your world.

As a traveling relief doctor, you can earn a competitive income while working fewer shifts, giving you more time for family, travel, or simply breathing room outside of the clinic.

​

But how does that competitive contract happen? That's what we do! The Roaming DVM negotiates fair contracts between our doctors and the hospitals that take into consideration your value as an experienced reliable ER professional and what the industry standard should be and is, protecting our veterinarians from any unfair labor or pay practices.

​

We also never charge veterinarians a fee to work with us and you’ll never be locked into a contract or pressured to meet a monthly shift minimum.
