How do I find a suitable job?

A complete profile is essential
Before you start your search, make sure your profile is as complete as possible. Pet owners will look at it closely before contacting you. Your profile is comparable to a resume in a traditional job application.

Check your profile for completeness before applying:

• Upload a nice photo of yourself.
• Ask former employers for a positive review: You can get up to 2 reviews from outside the platform!
• Write an engaging description of your services.
• Make sure your hourly rate is in line with other pet sitters in your area.
• You can upload reference letters, work certificates, diplomas, or other relevant proof of employment under "Documents" at any time.

Read job offers carefully
When you find a suitable offer, read it carefully to see if all the details fit you. It's best to apply only for suitable job offers. This way, you have the best chances of getting your desired job.

Personalized messages
Take some time with your applications and write a personalized message for each job offer. Address the specific job in as much detail as possible. This shows your interest and increases your chances of getting your desired job.

Keep an eye on current jobs
In the search, you can sort jobs by creation date. This way, you can see the newest jobs at the top of the list and apply quickly.

Check the login date
Occasionally check the login date of the client, especially if a job offer was posted a while ago. The rule of thumb: last login today, yesterday, or this week – apply! Last login this month or more than a month ago: better to skip it.

Search radius
Consider that it is much easier if the workplace is near you than if you have to travel a long distance each time. Think about which locations are easily accessible for you and which are not feasible.
