You’ve decided to become a Mad Paws Pet Sitter?! PAW-SOME!!
We’re excited for you to join our pack, and this article will walk you through how to apply.
To get started, you’ll need photo ID and it will take about 25-30 mins.
To become a Sitter you need to be at least 18 years old and have any of the following ID:
- Passport
- Driving License
- National ID card
- State issued Proof of Age card
If you’re under 18, you’ll need to follow the additional steps outlined on our Help Centre.
Creating a profile to become a Pet Sitter is simple
Step 1: Create a Mad Paws account
Fill in your details to create an account. You can use Facebook or your email address to sign up.
Step 2: Set up your Pet Sitter profile
After registering with Mad Paws, you will need to create a Sitter profile. This is where you set prices for the services you will offer. This is a good opportunity to tell prospective clients (pet parents):
- About yourself
- What you bring to the table as a Pet Sitter (e.g. sending frequent updates to Owners during the booking, regular walks for the dogs in your care, etc)
- Any experience or training you may have
Your profile is where you will need to upload a couple of photos:
- A profile photo (preferably one with you and a pet)
- Several pet-friendly photos for your photo gallery
Step 3: Submit your application and your ID
After completing your application, you will need to upload a photo of your ID and your Course Certificate. Our Customer Service team will then review your profile and ID. If these are acceptable, we will approve your profile within a week. We may ask for more information if needed.
Step 4: Download our App
Our App is the fastest way to communicate with clients. Search Mad Paws in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
