Why board dogs with WinniePaws
Your rate, your hours
You decide what to charge, which days you work, and which requests to accept — declining a booking costs you nothing and never affects your standing.

Direct payouts, no invoicing
Held for 48 hours after the visit. Reviewed by our team, then sent to your bank — arrives in 1–3 business days. No invoicing, no chasing payment.

What could you earn in Simpsonville?
Not enough local data yet
No active boarding sitters are listed within 15 miles of Simpsonville yet, so there is no local rate to base an estimate on.
We would rather show you nothing than a number we made up. You set your own rate on WinniePaws either way — being early in Simpsonville means owners searching here find you first.
Whatever you charge, you keep 85% of it — WinniePaws' service fee is 15%. That share grows automatically the more bookings you complete. See the full tier breakdown on our fee details page.

How to apply
This is the actual signup flow, in order. The form takes about ten minutes and you can leave and come back to it.
Create & verify your profile
Add your name and basic details, then tell us where you are based so nearby owners can find you in search. Your street address is never shown to owners or other members; they see only your city and general area. About ten minutes, and you can leave and pick up where you left off.
Set your services & rates
Pick the services you want to offer, set your own base rate for each, and choose the days you are generally open to bookings. You can adjust your availability any time from your dashboard.
Tell us about yourself & complete safety review
Write a short bio about your experience with pets, then review and accept the caregiver liability waiver and complete the background-check disclosure. That lets us run the records check; when it comes back clear, your profile shows the Vetted badge, the credential owners look for before they book.
Get approved & go live
Your application goes to the WinniePaws team for review. Once approved, your profile goes live and owners in your area can find and book you.
Questions from people thinking about it
How much do boarding sitters earn on WinniePaws?
You set your own per-night rate, so your earnings depend on what you charge and how many bookings you take. WinniePaws keeps a percentage of each booking as its service fee and pays you the rest — the exact current split is shown in the earnings estimate on this page and on our Fee Details page. We do not publish an average or a guaranteed figure, because neither would be honest for a marketplace where every boarding sitter prices their own work.
Do I need professional experience or a qualification?
No formal qualification is required to apply. You will be asked to introduce yourself and describe your experience with dogs, and your application is reviewed by the WinniePaws team before your profile goes live. Owners then choose their own boarding sitter, so a clear, honest profile matters more than a certificate.
What does it cost to sign up?
Nothing. There is no signup fee and no profile review fee for caregivers joining WinniePaws. WinniePaws only earns when you do, through its service fee on completed bookings.
Do I have to accept every booking request?
No. You choose which requests to accept, and you set the days you are generally available during signup — you can change that at any time from your dashboard. There are no shifts and no minimum number of bookings.
How and when do I get paid?
Payment is handled through the platform, so you never have to chase cash or cheques, and the service fee is already deducted from your earnings. Your earnings are held for 48 hours after the visit ends. Reviewed by our team, then sent to your bank — arrives in 1–3 business days. Your first payout can take longer while Stripe verifies your account.
Is my home address shown to pet owners?
No. Your location is used to match you with owners searching nearby, and the search map deliberately shows an approximate position rather than your exact address. Your street address is never shown to owners or other members. They see only your city and general area.
How long does the application take?
The signup form itself takes roughly ten minutes. After you submit it, your application goes to the WinniePaws team for review, and your profile becomes visible to owners once it is approved.
