## What is CritterTrust?

CritterTrust connects pet owners with independent local sitters for drop-in visits, dog walking, overnight stays, and daycare.

Every sitter on CritterTrust is background-checked before they can take a single booking. No exceptions.


FOR PET OWNERS

Book directly with your sitter through their CritterTrust booking page. See their services, their prices, and what they're comfortable caring for — dogs and cats, but also rabbits, birds, reptiles, and small animals, because not every pet is a dog.

While you're away, you'll get a report card after each visit: how your pet did, photos, and a map showing where your sitter checked in and out. Message your sitter in the app, and pay their invoices by card or however you've agreed.

CritterTrust is free for pet owners. There is no fee to book or use the app.


FOR PET SITTERS

CritterTrust is built for solo sitters running their own business.

You set your own prices. You set your own hours. You choose which animals you take and which requests you accept. Your clients are your clients.

We don't take a cut of what you earn. Sitters pay a flat monthly subscription and keep everything else — no percentage, no commission, no booking fees skimmed off the top.

The app handles the tedious parts: scheduling, client records, visit check-ins, report cards, and invoices. Accept card payments through Stripe, or record cash, Venmo, and Zelle payments you take outside the app.

To get started, complete a background check, which costs $60 and is paid by you. It stays valid for a year. We think a platform that vouches for its sitters should mean something.

CritterTrust Starter is free and includes up to 5 active bookings at a time. CritterTrust Pro is $30 per month with unlimited bookings. No contract, cancel any time.


WHY WE BUILT IT

The big pet sitting platforms take 20 to 25 percent of what a sitter earns, control who gets seen, and treat sitters as interchangeable. The people doing the work carry the risk and keep the least.

CritterTrust is the other way round. Sitters pay a predictable subscription instead of a share of their income. Owners pay nothing. The sitter's name is on the booking page, not ours.

Veteran-owned, built in Dayton, Ohio.
