Three Simple Steps
Finding the perfect caregiver for your pet shouldn't be complicated. We've made it as easy as ordering your favorite coffee.
Browse Local Sitters
Search caregivers near you by service, availability, and pet type. Every profile shows real reviews, verified badges, and detailed info so you know exactly who you're trusting with your best friend.
Book & Confirm
Pick your dates, share your pet's routine and quirks, and send a booking request. Your sitter will confirm within hours, and you'll get their contact info to chat before the big day.
Relax & Get Updates
While you're away, your sitter sends photo updates, walk tracking, and daily reports through the app. Come home to a happy pet and a heart full of gratitude. Then leave a review to help other pet parents.
We Don't Just Connect. We Care.
RavPaw was built by people who truly love animals. We know the anxiety of leaving your pet behind, and we've designed every feature to give you genuine peace of mind. No more wondering, no more worrying — just happy pets and happy owners.
Live Face Scanning & ID Verification
Every caregiver completes identity verification with live face scanning and government ID checks. No exceptions, no shortcuts.
Real-Time Walk Tracking
Follow your dog's walk on a live GPS map. See the route, duration, and even when they stopped to sniff something interesting.
Photo Updates & Daily Reports
Your sitter sends photos and a daily summary of meals, walks, playtime, and mood. It's like being there without actually being there.
People Who Genuinely Love Animals
Our caregivers aren't just looking for a gig. They're pet lovers, dog walkers, and cat whisperers who treat every animal like family.
"Absolutely wonderful!"
Find Someone Who Treats Your Pet Like Family
Your pet isn't just an animal — they're your family. When you can't be there, you need someone who understands that. Someone who'll give belly rubs, play fetch, and send you photos because they know you're missing them too.
In-Home Pet Sitting
Your pet stays in the comfort of their own home while a loving caregiver visits for feeding, playtime, walks, and company. Perfect for pets who prefer familiar surroundings.
Daily Dog Walks
Regular walks to keep your pup happy, healthy, and exercised. With GPS tracking and real-time updates, you'll know exactly where they went and for how long.
Overnight Stays
Going away for a few days? A trusted caregiver stays overnight with your pet, following their routine and giving them the companionship they need while you're gone.
Medication & Special Care
Older pets and those with medical needs deserve experienced care. Our caregivers can administer medications, follow special diets, and provide the extra attention your pet needs.
Cat Sitting & Drop-In Visits
Cats are creatures of habit. A drop-in visit for feeding, litter cleaning, and play keeps your feline friend content in their own territory without the stress of boarding.
All Pets Welcome
Dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles — we love them all. Create a pet passport with their unique needs, and find a caregiver experienced with your specific type of companion.
Get Paid to Hang Out with Animals
If you're the person who stops to pet every dog on the street, who follows cat accounts on Instagram, who genuinely lights up around animals — this is for you. Turn your love for pets into flexible, meaningful income.
Work When You Want
Set your own schedule. Take bookings that fit your life — mornings, weekends, or full-time. You're in control.
Set Your Own Rates
You decide what your time is worth. Most of our sitters earn between $15-35 per visit, with top earners making $3,000+ a month.
Build Real Connections
Your clients become family. Many of our sitters have regular furry friends they see every week — relationships that last for years.

Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our community has to say about their RavPaw experience.
"I was so nervous leaving my golden retriever Max with a stranger. But Sarah sent me photos every hour and I could track their walk on GPS. Max was wagging his tail when I got home."

"My cat Whiskers is shy with strangers but his sitter gave him space and by day 3 he was curled up on her lap. The daily report with photos made my vacation stress-free."

Help Us Keep RavPaw Free for Everyone
RavPaw is 100% free for everyone. We're powered by people like you who believe every pet deserves great care. Your support helps us maintain the platform, verify caregivers, and keep improving. If RavPaw has helped you or your pet, consider chipping in.

Questions? We've Got Answers.
Everything you need to know about RavPaw.
Safety is our top priority. Every caregiver on RavPaw must complete a strict identity verification process that includes live face scanning and government ID verification. We also verify phone numbers and email addresses. Beyond that, we encourage pet owners to meet caregivers beforehand, and our messaging system lets you communicate directly to ask any questions. All walks are GPS-tracked, and caregivers send photo updates so you always know your pet is in good hands.
Yes, RavPaw is 100% free — no hidden fees, no commissions, no premium tiers. We believe pet care should be accessible to everyone. We keep the lights on through voluntary donations from our community. If you love using RavPaw and want to support us, you can donate any amount, but there's absolutely no obligation. The platform is fully functional for free, forever.
RavPaw doesn't handle payments between users. When you book a sitter, you arrange payment directly with them — whether that's cash, Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, or whatever works for both of you. This keeps things simple and means 100% of what you pay goes to your caregiver. We recommend discussing payment terms before confirming a booking.
We have a support team available to help resolve any issues. Both pet owners and caregivers can report problems through the app, and we'll mediate to find a fair solution. We also recommend keeping your pet's emergency vet contact info in their pet passport, and our caregivers are instructed to contact you immediately if any health concerns arise. For serious incidents, we have a review and escalation process to ensure accountability.
Absolutely, and we encourage it! Once you send a booking request, you can message your sitter to arrange a meet-and-greet. This gives your pet a chance to get comfortable with their new friend, and you can discuss routines, special needs, and any concerns. Most of our successful long-term matches started with a casual first meeting.
All kinds! While dogs and cats are the most common, many of our caregivers have experience with rabbits, birds, reptiles, fish, and even farm animals. When creating your pet's profile, you can specify their species, breed, and any special care requirements. Our search filters help you find caregivers with the right experience for your specific pet.
