As a Pet Sitter on Mad Paws, you can apply for two types of badges to enhance your profile: the **Police Check Badge** and the **Seasonality Badge**. These badges help build trust with Pet Owners and increase your booking potential.

## **Badges You Can Apply For**


1. **Police Check Badge**
   * **What It Is**: This badge shows Pet Owners that you’ve undergone a police check, adding a layer of trust and credibility to your profile.
   * **How to Apply**:
     * Obtain a police check issued within the last 12 months from an accredited provider.
     * Log in to your Mad Paws account and upload the police check via your dashboard.
     * Once submitted, the badge will be visible on your profile within 7 business days if approved.
   * **Why It’s Important**: A Police Check Badge reassures Pet Owners that you are a responsible and trustworthy Sitter.
2. **Seasonality Badge**
   * **What It Is**: This badge highlights your availability during busy holiday periods, such as Christmas, New Year’s, and Easter.
   * **How to Apply**:
     * Update your calendar to indicate full availability during holiday periods.
     * The badge is automatically applied when your calendar reflects availability for the season.
   * **Why It’s Important**: Pet Owners actively look for Sitters during peak times. A Seasonality Badge makes your profile more attractive during these periods.
