⚠️ 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.
