Signing up our first Boston sitters

Look after pets
on your own terms.

You set your rates. You set your calendar. You choose which bookings to take — and you are never assigned work you did not accept.

Free to apply · No fee until you accept your first paid booking

Why sit with nesti

Built around the person doing the work.

🗓

Your schedule

Block any day in a tap. Nothing is ever assigned to you, and turning down a request costs you nothing.

💷

Your rates

Price each service separately, with your own puppy and extra-pet surcharges. An undiscounted rate is charged exactly as you set it.

📍

Your service area

Set a travel radius and a travel fee. Clients come from your own neighbourhood, not across the city.

🏦

Weekly payouts

Paid out through Stripe, with earnings visible per job. Tips are yours in full.

📄

The payout up front

Every request arrives with the full brief and exactly what you will be paid. You decide with the numbers in front of you.

⭐️

Work that compounds

Your repeat-client rate sits on your profile. Doing right by people is visible to the next person who finds you.

How it works

Four steps to your first booking.

1

Apply

Name, email, postcode, and which services you would offer. Takes under a minute, and there is nothing to pay.

2

Verify

Government ID matched to a selfie, then a background check through a third-party provider. Most clear in two to three days.

3

Set up your profile

Photos, a short about, your services and rates, your calendar and travel radius, and any certifications you want shown.

4

Accept the work you want

Requests arrive with the pet, the dates, the access details and your payout. Accept, decline, or leave it — your call.

What we ask of you

Honesty about the standard.

People are handing you their front door key and an animal they love. We are strict about this on purpose, because it is what makes the rest work.

  • Pass ID verification and a criminal-records and sex-offender-registry check
  • Turn up when you said you would, and message if anything changes
  • Send photo updates after every walk, meal and visit
  • Treat someone's home and their access codes as private
  • Tell us straight away if a pet is unwell or something goes wrong

Be one of the first.

nesti is opening in Boston, neighbourhood by neighbourhood. Founding sitters are onboarded first, and get set up before pet parents arrive.

Questions

Before you apply.

What does it cost?

Applying is free and stays free until you accept your first paid booking. nesti takes a commission from each booking, and you see your exact payout on every request before you accept it — there is no request where the number is hidden.

Do I need experience?

Not professional experience. You do need to pass ID verification and a background check, and to be reliable with someone's pet and home. Certifications can go on your profile if you have them.

How do I get paid?

Weekly, through Stripe, with earnings visible per job. Tips are yours in full.

Do I have to take every booking?

No. Requests arrive with the full brief and payout, and declining costs you nothing. You also set your own calendar, travel radius and daily capacity.

When does it start?

Boston first, neighbourhood by neighbourhood. We are onboarding our first sitters now, and applying today means you are set up before pet parents arrive in your area.
