This setup ensures compliance with Mad Paws policies and eligibility for insurance coverage. --- ## 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.* ![Sitter Profile - Family Profiles With Children Under 18](https://madpaws.brainfi.sh/api/attachments.redirect?id=689c5411-b0e2-4a25-9cc6-b28837927240 " =387x516") --- ## Related Articles * [Do I Need to Get a Permit to Become a Pet Sitter?](https://madpaws.brainfi.sh/articles/do-i-need-to-get-a-permit-to-become-a-pet-sitter-e37Pdi5Jks) * [How Do I Become A Mad Paws Sitter?](https://madpaws.brainfi.sh/articles/how-do-i-become-a-mad-paws-sitter-kOPklXHj1M) * [Mad Paws Accident Cover: What is Included?](https://madpaws.brainfi.sh/articles/mad-paws-accident-cover-what-is-included-UZbCSbI7xa) --- ## FAQs & Tips **FAQs** * **Do I need to upload my ID if I’m under 18?** No, sitters under 18 are not expected to upload their own ID.
