Is There An Age Requirement To Sign Up As A Pet Sitter?

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

To be a Mad Paws Pet Sitter, you must be 18 or older. However, minors can assist in pet sitting if a parent or guardian creates and manages the account, ensuring compliance with specific conditions.

Instructions

1. Invite a Parent/Guardian to Join

   If you are under 18 and you are able to have one of your parents/guardians willing become a part of your profile, then we can let you create a shared pet sitter or dog walker account

2. Mention in your Profile that You are a Team

   As an example, we have a pet sitter who shares her profile with her Mum. She must be present at every single Meet and Greet. Her Mum takes ownership of their shared listing on Mad Paws, be part of communication with clients, and takes full responsibility to act for any emergency situations that arise, such as driving a car to rush a pet to a Vet.

3. Add Verification for Your Parent/Guardian

    Ask your parent to upload of their Driver's Licence or Passport under the Verifications section so we can add a badge to your profile saying ID has been provided.
