Pet Sitter in york
on 20 July 2023
not much to say
Had an active, verified profile for years but never got any bookings, people don't reply to quotes though they were very reasonable and competitive. good idea initialy for more like a hobby than an actual source of income but don't rely on it. I thought at least a few bookings over the years would be good but it as if it's dead, maybe it's the area, or too many apps available like borrow my doggy,...

Horrible
I have been with them since they first opened. There were no issues. They don’t take into consideration your view and the insurance doesn’t do anything.

Would not recommend
By the time Tailster have taken their 20%, you are left with less than minimum wage. Pet owners will try and push your prices down & usually choose the cheapest carer, rather than the most experienced or competent. It is more worthwhile to set up your own pet care business - just make sure you don’t “poach” any clients from Tailster as they WILL stalk your social media and try to charge you a larg...
