The Role You are an independent contractor, providing calm, careful dog care for local owners who value it — and come back for it. Depending on the services you choose to offer, that can include: Dog walking — solo or group walks on your schedule Pet sitting & drop-in visits — check-ins at the client's home Overnight care & boarding — in your home or theirs Dog training — if you hold the credentials Hosting Out of the Haus events — pack walks, workshops, breed meetups, seminars, or your own idea. You set the ticket price and capacity; we handle listings, RSVPs, payments, and payouts. One well-attended event can out-earn an afternoon of back-to-back bookings. You choose which services you offer, which bookings you accept, and what you charge. We never cap your earnings. What We're Looking For Verifiable dog care experience — professional or substantial hands-on experience caring for dogs Composure — you can read dog behavior and body language, and you stay steady when a dog doesn't Reliability — owners are trusting you with a family member; you show up when you say you will Professional conduct — clear communication with clients, respect for their homes, and honest handling of anything that goes sideways Willingness to be vetted — a background check and our certification are non-negotiable for everyone Bonus credentials (these waive matching certification modules): veterinary license (DVM), professional training certification (CPDT, KPA), or a current pet first aid certificate. The Certification Every provider completes our composure-based certification before their profile goes live — nine self-paced modules, about 4½ hours, each ending in a short knowledge check (80% to pass; retakes draw fresh questions):

Bookings, Money & Policies Hosting Out of the Haus (for event hosts) It's a real certification, not a checkbox — the standard is something we build with you, not just ask of you. Already credentialed? Matching modules are waived; only the platform modules are universal. Earnings & Fees You set your rates. Providers typically earn $20-75 per service. You keep 82%. Our founding rate is an 18% service fee on completed bookings — the big platforms charge 20%. The same rate applies to event ticket revenue. No signup fee, no monthly fee, no listing fee. HausDogs only earns when you do. Client fees never touch your rate. Owners pay a small booking fee on their side. Payouts via Stripe , direct to your bank, typically within 2-3 business days of a completed service. Transparent and itemized — no invoicing to chase. How to Apply Apply at hausdogs.com/apply with your experience, service area, and the services you'd like to offer. Get vetted — pass a background check, then complete the certification at your own pace. We review every application within 3-5 business days. Build your profile — photos, bio, certifications, availability. It goes live the moment your certification is complete. Start earning — accept bookings, host events, do the work properly, and build a reputation that compounds through client reviews. Businesses and licensed facilities follow a separate verification path (entity registration, insurance, and staff credentials) — start at hausdogs.com/apply and select the business option.
