Octopus Moon is a membership register here to support pet sitters in reaching and maintaining a high level of professional standards helping you to stand out in the ever-growing pet sitting industry.
These standards are what give the register its credibility and what makes your membership genuinely valuable in an unregulated industry.
I truly understand the challenges you face as a professional pet sitter. You pour your heart and soul into caring for pets as if they were your own, yet it can feel disheartening when your hard work and expertise go unrecognised. Being undervalued, feeling pressure to lower your rates, and watching clients choose cheaper alternatives can leave you questioning your worth.
You’ve invested time, energy, and passion into building your skills, earning qualifications, and gaining experience. I see the dedication it takes to be there for every animal, to provide comfort, care, and consistency, often going above and beyond without expecting anything in return.
With Octopus Moon, I can honour that commitment. That’s why Octopus Moon sets a minimum daily rate for sitters, ensuring there’s no race to the bottom when it comes to pricing.
I am here to help you stand tall, feel empowered, and connect with clients who truly value what you bring to the table.
Together, we’re raising the standard for professional pet sitting for every pet sitter in the country.
Unlike other platforms where anyone can sign up and undercut professionals, Octopus Moon is an exclusive register. You will be part of a high-quality, trusted network, increasing your chances of being chosen by pet owners who value your credentials and experience.
Instead of applying for countless jobs that may never materialise, pet owners come to you already interested. Every pet owner using the register is actively looking to hire a professional sitter which increases conversion rates for bookings.
Along with the introduction of a minimum set of credentials, here at Octopus Moon, I believe in fair and sustainable pay for professional pet sitters. That’s why I’ve set a minimum daily rate to ensure your skills and dedication are properly valued.
It’s important to note that this is a minimum, not a limit. Sitters are encouraged to charge higher rates that reflect their experience, services, and the level of care they provide.
These groundbreaking changes will help elevate pet sitting as a respected profession. This helps remove the pressure to undercut your rates and ensures that sitters attract clients who value high-quality care over simply finding the cheapest option.
