Become a sitter.
Get paid to care for pets the right way.
Sterling is built for people who treat animals like their own. If that is you, and you have the experience to back it up, we want to meet you.
Why sitters work with us.
Good pay, and your tips are yours.
We charge well so we can pay well, and every tip goes straight to you.
Clients who value you.
Our owners pay for quality and treat sitters like the professionals they are. No race to the bottom, no haggling over rates.
You choose your work.
Pick the work that fits your schedule, your area, and the pets you are comfortable with. Drop-in visits, dog walks, and overnight house sitting are all on the table, and recurring walk routes fit neatly around the rest of your life.
A real company behind you.
You are not alone on an app. We back you up, we carry the insurance, and we step in when you need us.
What we look for.
We hold a high standard, because our clients' pets depend on it. But we would rather you apply and let us sort it out together than count yourself out before you start.
- A real love for animals, and the patience that comes with it.
- Reliability. People are trusting you with their family, so you show up. Every time.
- A clean background check. Every sitter clears one.
- Experience and references help. If you're newer but serious, tell us anyway. We help the right people grow into the work.
- A plus, not a must: vet tech or animal health training. We pay more for it, and clients ask for it by name.
How it works.
Apply.
Tell us about your experience with animals.
Screening and checks.
We review your background and call your references.
Meet.
We sit down with you and watch how you are around animals.
Get matched.
Once you are in, we start matching you with stays that fit.
Take it seriously, and there's a place for you.
This is not a way to make a quick buck between other things. We're looking for people who treat someone's dog or cat like it matters, because it does. Bring that, and we'll help you build the rest.
