Relief shifts without the fine print.
We keep it simple. Hospitals post shifts. Vets and vet techs browse and request them. The hospital pays CoverVet at booking; CoverVet pays the practitioner after the shift wraps up. A flat 15% platform fee, paid by the hospital. Full transparency. No finder's fees to block full-time hires.
Built by a Veterinarian
for Veterinarians.
Set the pay rate. Set the hours. We show it to every verified practitioner in your state — same day.
Browse every open shift. Pay rate, location, hospital details upfront. No agent assigning.
Payment, payouts, 1099s. Flat 15% on every shift — same fee, no exceptions.
If a hospital hires a relief contractor full-time, CoverVet charges nothing — saving hospitals up to $40,000 per hire.
Relief work, on your terms.
Whether you're a vet or a vet tech, CoverVet hands you the keyboard. Choose the hospitals you want to work with, name your schedule, get paid fast.
Browse every open relief shift in your state. Pay rate, hours, hospital, and practice details visible before you request. No middleman picking for you.
Other platforms charge hospitals heavy fees (up to $40,000) for hiring you as an employee, which can make you a less attractive hire. At CoverVet, we don't charge anything if you decide to go to a client hospital full-time.
Paid within 1–2 business days after each shift completes. Direct ACH to your bank via Stripe. No invoicing, no chasing checks.
CoverVet takes a flat 15% from the hospital, not from you. No placement fees, no minimum commitments, no "platform tax" on your earnings.
Coverage when you need it.
As former practice owners, we know how difficult it can be to find help. Our number one goal with CoverVet is to provide maximum value to you. We do that in a number of ways that sets us apart:
- Flat 15% on every shift. Some services hide their fees and practices have no idea what the practitioner is actually making. CoverVet has the same transparent fee whether it's emergency cover or a routine Tuesday — no surge pricing, no hiding the ball.
- License-verified bench. Every veterinarian license-checked before they can request shifts. Past peer reviews visible at decision time.
- Hands-off compliance. CoverVet handles all tax and reporting requirements for the practitioners on our platform.
- No finder's fees. Other services charge practices thousands for hiring practitioners off the platform within an 18-month period. At CoverVet, there is no fee for hiring a practitioner full-time.
If a CoverVet practitioner joins your staff full-time, we charge $0. That's up to $40K less than what competing platforms charge. Move to CoverVet for 18 months, and hire whoever you want.
