Frequently asked questions
How do payouts work? +
Owners pay via Stripe; your share is transferred to your connected account on Stripe’s payout schedule. No cash-on-the-doorstep.
Can students or people with a second-income gap apply? +
Yes, if you can legally take paid work and you can actually keep the hours you publish. Evening and weekend slots are built for that pattern.
What fees does LetzPaws charge sitters and walkers? +
Founding providers pay 0% commission for 90 days. After that, a published Fair Growth fee applies — designed to undercut the ~20% many people already pay on national apps. No pay-per-lead junk.
Can I offer walking and sitting together? +
Yes. Many founding pros list complementary services so rainy weeks still have drop-ins. Start with the one you can deliver every week.
Can I set my own prices? +
Yes. You control base rates, duration options, and travel surcharges in your local currency.
Is this a Rover alternative? +
If you want to keep more of each walk or sit, yes — that is the point. You can stay listed elsewhere while you fill a round on LetzPaws.
How do I start offering Dog Boarding in York? +
Apply as a founding pro, complete identity verification, add {$name} with GBP pricing, and publish your profile. You can take bookings once documents are approved — you do not need an existing pet-care company.
Do I need insurance for Dog Boarding in York? +
Professional pet-care insurance is strongly recommended in the UK and helps verification. You can start the founding application while you arrange cover.
