Veterinary Relief — Colorado & Beyond
On-call relief veterinary coverage when you need it most. Small animals, mixed practice, and exotics — with same-day availability and a vet who genuinely integrates with your team.
About
Clinic life is unpredictable. Staff call out, cases run long, and the schedule never quite holds. I built Rodgers Veterinary Care around one idea: when you need coverage, it should be seamless — not stressful.
I integrate with your workflow, communicate clearly with your team, and bring the breadth of experience to handle whatever walks through the door — from routine wellness to urgent cases to exotics.
What I Offer
Whether you need someone for a day, a week, or recurring support — I adapt to what your practice actually needs.
Reliable day-to-day coverage including exams, vaccinations, diagnostics, and client communication. Your patients receive continuity; your team gets breathing room.
When a critical case comes in and you're short-staffed, I step in — assess, stabilize, and manage until the situation is resolved. No drama, just competent care.
I don't just show up and see cases in isolation. I work alongside your technicians and CSRs, reducing team stress and leaving the clinic in a better place than I found it.
How It Works
Pick a date right here on the site. Takes about a minute — no back-and-forth phone tag.
I confirm within 24 hours and we sort out shift length, scope, and anything your team needs me to know.
I arrive ready to work, integrate with your staff, and leave clean records and a clear handoff behind.
Rates
Simple, flat rates — whether it's a routine day or a critical case. All hourly rates are the same in-state or out. A standard shift is 10 hours; shorter coverage is available on request.
Multi-state licensed — available across CO, UT, IL, FL & TX. Standard shift is 10 hours; shorter coverage available — just ask.

Client Reviews
Dr. Rodgers has to be one of the kindest veterinarians I've ever come across as a pet owner. He took his time and was extremely gentle with both my dog and myself. In a scary time he made everything so much better.
We took our dog in late tonight and were seen by Dr. Jake Rodgers. He was incredibly empathetic, patient, thorough, and understanding. Vets like him make difficult moments easier to navigate, and his kindness made a hugely positive impact on the entire experience.
Dr. Jake Rodgers is the best vet! He really cares and takes the time to listen and explain. My cat got really sick and they were fully booked but they still took my cat in and saved his life. I am so grateful for Dr. Jake. I highly recommend their services.
