Ready to Apply?
The application takes less than 60 seconds — no account creation required. We just need your basic info so we can see how close you are to our clients and match you with pet sitting jobs that require minimal commute.
What you’re signing up for
You’re a W-2 employee, not a gig app. We match you with clients near your home. You choose each one. Once you say yes, that client is yours.
The job. Most visits are 25 minutes at the client’s home. If a household’s routine needs more time, we may book 40 or 55, paid at the same rate prorated. Dogs, cats, and other pets. You feed, potty, walk, play, and give medication when they need it. Pets stay home. You drive to them, usually within 5 miles of where you live.
- We offer you the client. A pet owner books. We start with the closest sitter. You get a text with the address, the dates and times, how many visits a day, and what pets. You say yes or no. Nobody is auto-assigned to you.
- If you say yes, they become your client. You are never sent to a pet nobody has met. New households get an in-person meeting first, and you are paid for it. From then on, you are the person they get the next time they travel.
- You do the visits. When they book again, those visits come to you.
- If you can’t make a visit, we line up a backup. Tell us. We find the cover. The client still stays yours. When you’re back, you’re their sitter again.
Your clients stay yours. When a household books again, it comes to you first, and they are expecting you. That is the point: not an assembly line of visits, but a short list of homes and animals you actually know. It also means this works best if your life is fairly settled. We can arrange backup when something comes up, but the sitter who keeps showing up is the one clients ask for.
You need to be available 7 days/week, but you won’t work 7 days/week. Clients travel sporadically — maybe you work 3 days one week, 5 days the next, then 1 day the following week. As long as you have the flexibility to cover mornings, middays, and evenings when clients need you, we’ll work around your life!
Pay
$12.50 minimum per 25-minute visit
Two 25-minute visits in an hour is $25/hour at the $12.50 starting visit.
Because most visits pay more than the floor, visit time generally works out to about $25 to $30 an hour. The $12.50 is a floor, not a typical visit: it is what you get for one pet within 5 miles. Client meetings, key trips, and backup meetings are paid at that same rate.
Most visits pay more than the floor. Most households have two to four pets, so a typical visit runs $13.50 to about $16. Medication, longer drives, holidays, and short-notice requests are added on top of that.
What that looks like
- Two cats, three miles from home $13.50
- Three dogs, four miles away, one on medication $16.50
- Two pets, eight miles out, booked the same day $26.50
Every add-on is per visit, so three visits in a day is three times the extras.
| Add-on | Per visit |
|---|---|
| Each mile past 5 miles | +$1 |
| Medication | +$2 |
| Second pet, and each after | +$1 |
| Last-minute | +$10 |
| Holiday | +$10 |
The rates are the same for every sitter. What a visit pays depends on the household: how far, how many pets, medication, and timing.
Mileage is paid, but the goal is to keep you under 5 miles. Less driving is worth more to you than a dollar a mile makes up for, so we offer you the closest households first.
Visits are not always back-to-back — you might have one in the morning and another midday. If you have a flexible schedule and like the idea of short trips near your house, this setup is a great fit.
What the rate includes
- Client meetings, key pickup and drop-off trips, and backup meetings are all paid
- You are paid whether or not we collect from the client
- Taxes withheld, your Social Security and Medicare paid by us, W-2 at year end
- Covered by the company liability insurance
On a gig app, a higher sticker price is self-employment income: the meet-and-greet, the key trip, both halves of Social Security and Medicare, and the bad clients are all yours to absorb. Here they are ours.
You’re not on your own
A company is behind every visit
- We know where you are and which pet you’re with. There is always someone to call.
- Homes and pets throw surprises. When something comes up, you call us and we handle it together.
- Every pet is screened before it’s booked. We do not take aggressive or difficult animals.
- Need a day off? Tell us. We find the backup, not you.
Where we hire
Sitters live near the homes they visit. We are hiring in Allen, Plano, Dallas, Frisco, Irving, Keller, Addison, Coppell, Prosper, McKinney, Arlington, Grapevine, Carrollton, Fort Worth, Lewisville, Richardson, Flower Mound, Southlake, University Park, and Colleyville.
What happens after you apply
- You apply online. Under a minute. No account to create.
- Then there is usually a wait. We add sitters when a client comes up near their home, so this can take a while. Keep your current job — this is supplemental income, not a replacement for it.
- We text you when something opens up in your area. We tell you about the household first: the address, the days and times, how many pets, how much work it is. If it still looks like a fit for both of us, we keep going.
- You record three short videos. Under a minute each, from your phone, whenever it suits you. Redo them as many times as you like — nobody sees the practice runs.
- We run a background check. We pay for it, and it takes about a day. There are no upfront costs to join — you are a W-2 employee, not a contractor.
- Paperwork and setup. Three short forms, then we set up your schedule and direct deposit.
- You meet your client. If the household is new to us, you meet them in person before you commit, and you are paid for that meeting whether or not you take them on.
You will need a car, a phone that can text and send photos, and the flexibility to cover mornings, middays, and evenings.
Training and support after you are hired
You are not handed a key and left to figure it out. Every employee gets access to a private employee section on this site — a written handbook that covers the visit routine, how new client meetings work, what to do in an emergency, how to check in and out of visits, how to submit timesheets, how pay and direct deposit work, how to request time off, and what equipment we recommend. It is all written down, and it stays available to you for as long as you work here.
You also get a manager you can actually reach. Phones are answered from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Central, and the texting line is watched around the clock. If you get to a house and something is wrong — a pet seems sick, a key will not turn, you are running behind — you text the office and a real person answers. If you cannot make a visit, we have 250+ employees and a manager whose job is to find coverage. You are never the only thing standing between a pet and a missed meal.
That employee section is private and only open to people on the team, so you will not find it from the outside. We point you to it during onboarding.
