Why Join HausDogs?
Set Your Own Rates
You set the rate, and the standard you work to lets you hold it. We never cap your earnings.
Flexible Schedule
Work when you want, and take only the bookings that fit your life.
Clients Who Value Care
We connect you with owners who want calm, careful care — and come back for it.
Composure-Based Training
A real certification — nine modules and knowledge checks, not a checkbox — so the standard is something we build with you, not just ask of you.
The Certification
Every provider passes our certification before their profile goes live — nine self-paced modules, about 4½ hours, each ending in a short knowledge check (80% to pass, and retakes draw fresh questions). It's the standard behind the badge:
- 1The HausDogs Standard
- 2Reading Dogs: Behavior & Body Language
- 3Composure in Practice
- 4Safety Protocols
- 5Canine First Aid
- 6Emergency Procedures
- 7Professional Conduct
- 8The Platform: Bookings, Money & Policies
- 9Hosting Out of the Haus (for event hosts)
Already credentialed? A veterinary license, professional training certification (CPDT, KPA), or current pet first aid certificate waives the matching modules — the modules about how HausDogs works are the only ones everyone takes.
Run Your Own Events
Bookings are only half of it. Providers on HausDogs host their own Out of the Haus events and get paid by the group, not the hour. Run whatever you do best:
- Group walks & pack hikes
- Training workshops
- Social meetups & park days
- Breed meetups
- Educational seminars
- Seasonal celebrations
- Or pitch your own idea
More Money, Less Time
One event with a full roster can out-earn an afternoon of back-to-back one-on-one bookings. You set the ticket price and the capacity — the math is yours.
You Run the Show
Pick the format, the place, and the schedule — a one-off or a recurring series. We handle the listing, RSVPs, payments, and payouts so you just show up and host.
Dogs & People, In Community
Events put you face to face with local owners and their dogs. It's the fastest way to meet your next regular clients — and the best part of the job.

FAQ
How much can I earn?
Providers set their own rates and typically earn $20-75 per service. The service fee on completed bookings is 18% of the service price, capped at $250 per booking. No subscription, no listing fee.
What does HausDogs charge?
18% of the service price, capped at $250 per booking. No subscription, no listing fee. Or switch to Pro after 5 bookings: $99/month flat, no commission on services. Clients pay a small booking fee on their side; it never comes out of your rate. Event ticket revenue carries its own 18% host fee, on every plan.
Is the fee really capped?
Yes, $250 per booking, no exceptions. A percentage made sense when this was mostly walks and drop-ins. It stops making sense on a multi-week training program, where the work is yours and the introduction was ours.
What if I book a lot?
After 5 bookings you can switch to Pro: $99/month flat, no commission on services. Around $550/month in bookings it costs less than commission. Event fees still apply.
What are the requirements?
For individual providers: a background check, our nine-module certification training, and verifiable dog care experience. Your profile goes live the moment your certification is complete.
What does the training involve?
Nine self-paced modules (about 4½ hours) covering behavior, first aid, safety, emergencies, professional conduct, and the platform. Each ends in a short knowledge check — 80% to pass, retakes draw fresh questions. Credentials like a DVM, CPDT, or pet first aid cert waive the matching modules.
Can I set my own schedule?
Yes! You have complete control over your availability and which bookings you accept.
Can I run my own events?
Yes — approved providers host their own Out of the Haus events. You set the ticket price and capacity; we handle the listing, RSVPs, payments, and payouts.
How do payments work?
Payments are processed through Stripe with payouts to your bank within 2-3 business days.
