Do I need to be licensed or bonded to be a pet sitter? Open
PetBacker requires that you follow your local laws and regulations regarding licensing and other requirements. Requirements vary by location, so check with your local Animal Control to learn about the regulations where you live.
Often, licensing regulations apply only to facilities that handle a high volume of dogs. If you sit for one or two dogs at a time, you may not need a license. Nevertheless, it’s a good idea to check your local regulations.
PetBacker will not be held responsible for any legal action taken against you should you fail to adhere to your local laws and regulations regarding licensing and other requirements.

We're here to provide ongoing support, educational opportunities, and to help each individual grow their business—and we’re in it for the long haul. These fees help us do that, along with facilitating PetBacker’s customer support, trust and safety coverage, and important site maintenance and product improvements.
