When choosing a freelance platform, there are three key things to consider:

1. How much can you earn: Caring for pets is rewarding, but after a full day of play and companionship, your income matters too.
2. What protection is included: Accidents can happen while caring for pets, and vet bills can easily run into the thousands. A platform that provides insurance gives you much greater peace of mind.
3. Customer support: Issues big and small can come up during bookings — having a support team to turn to makes a huge difference!
