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.
