Earn money caring for pets — right in your own neighbourhood
Petolina is a Canadian platform where pet care stays local. We're looking for trustworthy, pet-loving neighbours to join as sitters and get matched with owners in the same neighbourhood.
Why sit with Petolina?
- Bookings come from your neighbourhood. No driving 45 minutes for a 30-minute walk. Your clients are real neighbours — the kind you'll run into at the same park.
- You set your own rates. We suggest Canadian medians (boarding ~$50/night, drop-in ~$25, walks ~$22/30-min), but you decide. Paid securely to your bank through Stripe — no chasing e-transfers.
- Everything in one place. Bookings, payments, messaging, and reviews — all on Petolina. Owners message you directly. No middle-tier customer service.
- Your strengths shine. Great with senior pets, reactive dogs, or exotics? Have a fenced yard or a quiet street? Owners filter on exactly what they need, and your specialties surface.
- Free to list. No subscription, no monthly minimum, no exclusivity. We take a small platform fee only on completed bookings — nothing upfront, nothing for empty weeks. Cancel any time.
Services you can offer
Boarding · House sitting · Drop-in visits · Doggy day care · Dog walking
For dogs, cats, birds, rodents, or reptiles — you pick what you take.
What we're looking for
- 18+ and a Canadian resident
- Genuine love for animals and reliable, caring habits
- Punctual, communicative, and comfortable following feeding/exercise/medication instructions
- A clean, safe, smoke-free space (if boarding at home)
- Willing to act fast — contact a vet immediately if a pet shows signs of illness or injury
No prior professional experience required — many of our best sitters started by caring for friends-of-friends.
