Family Compass is looking for dedicated, caring individuals to join our growing team of independently contracted pet sitters.

How do I become a Family Compass pet sitter?

To become a Family Compass contracted pet sitter and provide services in a pet family's home, you must be at least 18 years old, live in Indiana or Illinois, have transportation, and participate in two, in-depth interviews where we learn about you, especially your passion for pets and your personal and/or work experience with pets. You must also pass extensive criminal background checks, provide references who can attest to your love and compassion for pets and ability to exercise good judgment in their care, and either complete or provide proof of pet First Aid/CPR certification.

Why join us?

Being a contracted pet sitter for Family Compass means you are working with people who have a history of providing excellence in care for abused and neglected children and are now striving to create higher standards of care for pets.

​We do not charge any upfront fees to join us. Background checks and trainings are provided at no cost. Your profile is also created and marketed for you for free.

Most importantly, Family Compass wants you to focus on what you love and do best, pet sitting. We handle the rest. We find and schedule bookings for you, including meet and greets.  All financial transactions (rate setting & collections of funds from the pet family) are handled for you. Finally, we have dedicated staff available to you to answer any questions and handle any concerns.
