Your first week as a sitter

Welcome. Start with the clients you already have and the next booking you need to organise. Your page and booking link work from signup; profile approval is not a prerequisite for using them.

Bring your clients

Add your clients under Clients, one by one or by importing a CSV. Free supports up to ten clients; Pro removes the client limit. Adding a record does not create an account for that person or send them a booking.

Send a client invitation when you want to connect their account. They must sign in using the email link sent to the invited address before you can propose their first booking. You can also share your booking link and let them request dates themselves. Keep using email, WhatsApp or whatever suits you for the conversation.

Set your rates and payment instructions

Add a priced service in Services & Rates before taking a booking. Your location determines the starting currency; check your rates and currency together.

In Profile → Payment methods, choose how clients pay you and add your instructions. Cash, bank transfer, your own payment-provider links and market-specific options are supported. Local methods depend on your location and the provider account you use; selecting one does not open that account for you. We never collect booking money or confirm that a transfer arrived. Read payments for sitters.

Complete your first booking

Share the permanent booking link from your dashboard. Your client signs in, adds their pet and requests dates; you review and accept the request. Alternatively, propose dates to a client with a completed booking or an invitation followed by verified sign-in with the invited email; they must confirm your proposal.

During an in-progress booking, you can send report cards with photos, care notes and recorded GPS walk routes. After receiving payment directly, mark the booking paid. Free includes bookings and this manual payment tracking.

Invoicing is a Pro feature. When invoicing is available, Pro generates printable invoices for completed bookings and lets you create manual invoices for client records, including work arranged elsewhere. An invoice is not proof that money arrived. See Earnings and current plan availability.

Make your page useful

Add photos and your bio in Profile, and set services, rates and availability in Services & Rates. Your dashboard checklist shows the essentials needed to request a human profile review. Approval awards Verified Sitter and makes your page eligible for search-engine indexing while your visibility setting is enabled. It does not check identity or guarantee traffic. In-product sitter search is on the roadmap; your shared links already work.

Optional evidence badges are separate: Account → Verification accepts documents for human review. The badge guide explains each claim. Pro review imports can also show verified reviews from another platform with their source.

Need a hand?

Use the support widget or the getting started guide. We want bookings to be easier to organise, not to dictate where you talk to your clients.
