This is a flexible, part-time independent contractor position where all jobs are voluntary and you set your availability and service area, and we match you with clients.

What You’ll Do

Pet sitting visits may include:

Feeding and refreshing water
Cleaning up waste

Sending visit updates and photos through our app
Following each client’s detailed care instructions
Bringing in mail or packages
Adjusting lights, blinds, or trash/recycling when requested
Administering medication when within your experience and comfort level

Most visits take place while clients are traveling, so weekend, holiday, morning, afternoon, and evening availability is especially valuable.

Service Types

Walks: 30-90 minutes (1-3x daily)
Drop-ins: 30 / 45 / 60 minutes (1–3x daily)
Extended daytime visits: 2-8 hours
Overnights: 10-12 hour stays
24-hour care: live-in with overnight care

What We Look For

Experienced with dog or cat care, especially in a pet sitting capacity
Confidently handle dogs from small to large
Reliable, punctual, and detail-oriented
Strong written communication
Comfortable working independently in clients’ homes
Smartphone with reliable internet & camera
Medication experience (oral, injections, fluids)
Holiday & weekend availability

Pay + Perks

Sitters are paid per visit, with rates typically starting around $25 per 30 minute visit, with higher pay for longer visits, overnight care, house sitting.
Weekly direct deposit
Bonus opportunities (holidays, short notice, strong feedback)
100% of tips go to you
