“I absolutely love dogs and cats!” “I’m great at responding to messages quickly!” “I want to earn extra income efficiently in my spare time with flexibility”
This job is perfect for you!
Fluv, a trusted next-generation pet care community, is actively recruiting new sitters in the Shinjuku Ward area (Shinjuku Station, Takadanobaba, Shin-Okubo, Yotsuya, and more), where last-minute bookings have been surging.
Fluv puts sitters’ “ease of work” and “safety and security” first. Since this is a job where you’re entrusted with the care of a living being, we welcome anyone with a strong sense of responsibility who can keep their commitments and respond promptly and attentively — even if you have no prior pet sitting experience!
🐾Turn your love for animals into a job! Why pet sitters are in high demand in Shinjuku Ward
Shinjuku Ward is home to one of Tokyo’s busiest transit hubs, making it an area with extremely high demand for last-minute pet care due to sudden business trips, overtime, and outings by busy professionals. However, there currently aren’t enough sitters who can reply to messages quickly or handle urgent requests.
In other words, for those who respond quickly on their phone or are flexible and mobile, Shinjuku Ward is the ideal area for getting matched with jobs and earning efficiently — a true hidden gem!
If you’re thinking, “I’m worried about handling things on my own as an independent sitter…,” don’t worry. With Fluv‘s comprehensive support system and reliable insurance coverage, you can make the most of your quick response skills and start thriving — even with no experience!

🐾Frequently asked questions
Q1. I don’t have any professional qualifications — is that really okay?
A. Yes, absolutely! If you have experience caring for dogs or cats at home (daily feeding, litter box cleaning, walks, monitoring their condition, etc.), that’s more than enough to get started. Of course, if you hold certifications such as veterinary nurse, groomer, or pet care specialist, or have professional experience, you’re especially welcome and will be given priority!
Q2. Are there any registration fees or monthly charges I need to pay?
A. There are no upfront costs, registration fees, or annual membership fees whatsoever. Everything from downloading the app to registering as a sitter, screening, and training is completely free. You can get started with zero risk.
Q3. Can I cancel a confirmed booking if something comes up suddenly?
A. You can decline during the pre-match stage (quote stage), but last-minute cancellations of confirmed bookings are strictly prohibited as a rule. Since cancellations can seriously impact pet owners’ work schedules and travel plans, we ask that only those who can manage their schedule responsibly apply.
Q4. How do I receive my payment?
A. After completing a service, payments are securely processed through Fluv‘s system. You can focus entirely on pet care without worrying about payment issues.
Q5. What types of pet care are most common?
A. The most common requests are dog walking and caring for cats while their owners are away (feeding, water changes, litter box cleaning). You’ll only receive match requests for the pet types you’ve set as “available,” so there’s nothing to worry about.
