# Checklist of a Good Pet Sitter Profile for Faster Approval

Available on Mobile/Desktop Browser or App? ✅ Yes, accessible on both mobile and web platforms.


---

A complete and well-presented profile helps us approve your Pet Sitter account faster — and helps Pet Owners feel confident booking with you!
Before submitting your profile for review, make sure you’ve checked all the boxes below.


---

## Accepted ID Types

To verify your profile, you’ll need to upload one of the following valid IDs:

* Australian Driver’s Licence
* Australian Proof of Age Card
* Australian Passport
* International Passport + Australian Photo ID
* International Passport + Australian-issued Police Check *(within 12 months from issue date)*

> ⚠️ Only clear, valid, and current documents are accepted.

## Quality Bio Content

Your bio helps Pet Owners understand who you are and why you love caring for pets. It must be at least **150 characters** and include:

* Your **love for pets** and why you want to be a sitter
* Your **experience** with animals (mention specific breeds or sizes if applicable)
* Your **work setup** or lifestyle (e.g., “I work from home and can keep pets company all day”)
* Details about your **home environment** and safety features (e.g., fenced yard, lockable gate)
* A bit about **your personality** — let owners get to know you!

> 💡 Tip: Write naturally and authentically. A friendly, detailed bio attracts more bookings.


---

## Profile Photo

Make sure you upload **one clear, professional-looking photo** of yourself.

**Do’s:**
✅ Clear, bright image where your face is visible
✅ Friendly and approachable expression

**Don’ts:**
🚫 Blurry or low-quality photos
🚫 Revealing or inappropriate clothing (e.g., topless, bikinis)
🚫 Hidden faces or heavy filters (masks are okay if the sitter can still be clearly identified)


---

## Carousel Photos

Your profile should include **at least 2 photos** in the carousel that:

* Are clear, well-lit, and professional-looking
* Show your love for animals (e.g., photos with pets, your home setup, or play spaces)

> 📩 If your profile lacks quality photos, you’ll receive an **“Add More Photos”** email before it can be approved.


---

## Final Check

Make sure your:

* ID is valid and clear
* Bio meets content and character requirements
* Profile and carousel photos meet the image guidelines

Once everything looks great, your profile will move through our verification process faster — and you’ll be ready to start meeting pets and owners in no time!
