How sitters update their profile on SitSignal

Everything on your sitter profile lives under one Profile button. This guide walks through all five Sitter Workspace tabs — Profile, Pricing, Availability, Payouts, and Settings — so clients always see accurate info and you stay visible in search.

Set rates and services on the Pricing tab

Tap Pricing to set what you charge. Earnings update live as you type (the standard fee model is 12%). Each service has an Enabled toggle so you can turn it on or off: Boarding (nightly), House Sitting (nightly), Dog Walking (per walk), and Drop-Ins (per visit).

For each service you set your first pet rate (dog/cat), additional pet rates, and other animal rates — birds, small mammals, reptiles, fish, farm animals, and other — which is where you price drop-ins and house sittings for pets beyond dogs and cats.

Tap Availability to control where and when you work.

Defaults are Boarding 50, House Sit 25, Drop-In 10, and Walk 5. Tap Save Settings.
