Why tipme
for Pet Sitters?
Independent pet sitters use tipme to take card, Apple Pay and Google Pay payments for visits, overnights, daily walks. Owners pay your personal link from anywhere. No cash on the counter, no marketplace commission, money directly to you.
Owners pay from the airport, the beach, or the couch
Your payment link travels with your daily photo updates. Owners can settle the stay before they've even landed home. No envelope on the kitchen counter.
Direct clients keep the whole rate
Word-of-mouth sitting paid through your own link means no platform commission and no held payouts. The full fee lands directly in your account.
Happy reunions earn tips
Coming home to a happy pet and a tidy house earns extra, and an owner who has been watching your photo updates all week usually decides on that tip somewhere over the Atlantic. Owners add it on top of the fee in the same tap.
