While tips are not expected, they are absolutely appreciated! You can easily send a tip to your pet sitter or walker in our app or through Venmo.
Forgot to tip? No problem! You also have the option to "add tips" to paid invoices. From the dashboard of your account, select invoices then paid invoices. From there, select "add tips" and select your desired amount.
