How the Job Search Works for Sitters (Update 25.10.2024)

With the Job Board, we aim to provide pet owners and sitters with an additional way to connect with each other. Pet owners can now easily post their care requests and receive the best offers from qualified sitters in their area. For caregivers, the Job Board opens up access to a variety of care opportunities that perfectly match their availability and preferences.
