Independant Contractor Application Form

To ensure this opportunity aligns with your financial needs, could you please share your desired income level on a weekly and / or monthly basis and whether you have other sources of income? 
Our sitters earn between $500 for part-time and up to $2500-$3000 full time, especially over holiday periods. As a guide, our most popular visits initially pay as follows: $14.00 for 30mins | $15.00 for 45mins | $18.00 for 60mins. These fess increase the longer you stay with us and the more more valuable your contribution is to the team. If these levels do not suit you initially please do not apply. However, we do reward excellence and commitment quickly, once proven.

To help us understand your availability, please tell us how often you could typically offer the following services:

  • Weekday and Weekend Visits: How many mornings, afternoons, and evenings could you typically dedicate to 30/45/60-minute visits?
  • Overnight Stays: How often are you available for 12-hour sleepovers (typically 7pm to 7am)?
  • Live-In Care: How often could you commit to 15-hour or 20-hour live-in assignments?
  • Holiday Availability: Are you available to work on holidays, and if so, which ones?

We understand that everyone's availability varies, so please be honest! This will help us match you with the right clients and ensure a good fit for both you and the pets in our care.

  • This is an Independent Contractor opportunity. You set your availability; the more available and willing to travel within your service area, the more clients we can connect you with. We offer a mileage supplement of $0.70/mile for visits over 10 miles from your home.
  • Successful contractors will need to obtain pet sitting insurance and bonding (we'll discuss options, from $90/year). A criminal background check is also required ($20 deposit, refunded after your third payment).
  • Payments are processed monthly: invoices are finalized the last day of the month, submitted to the bank on the 1st, the bank takes 1-3 business days to process.
  • We only visit pets in their home, we do not offer boarding in your home nor in any other facility
