Why sit with Patudo.
No chasing payment.
Owners pay through Patudo, so you never have to ask for money or follow up on a payment yourself.
Covered for late cancellations.
Plans change. If an owner cancels within 24 hours of the booking, you receive €10 with your next payout.
Owners can make you a favorite.
Owners keep a list of favorite sitters. Favorites get most of that owner's new requests 15 minutes before everyone else.
You decide.
Set your hours, how far you'll travel and how many bookings you take. Accept only the requests that suit you.
Keep your other work.
There's no minimum to commit to, and Patudo doesn't ask you to stop working on other platforms.
Help when you need it.
If something comes up on a booking, message us. Someone on our team reads and answers every message.
What you can earn.
Owners set the price for each booking, and you only accept what works for you. You keep 82% of the price, and Patudo's 18% fee includes VAT.
I'm looking for a 30-minute walk for Luna, a friendly dog tomorrow at 12:30. I'll pay €10.
An owner's favorite sitters hear first; otherwise every eligible sitter nearby is notified at once, and the first to accept gets the booking. On a €10 walk you receive €8.20 after Patudo's 18%.
Amounts are before your own taxes. Payouts arrive every 14 days.
Be one of the first sitters in Arroios, Penha de França and Areeiro.

Things you're probably wondering.
How do I get a booking?
When an owner sends a request, every eligible sitter nearby is notified at once, and the first to accept gets the booking. Eligible means you're within your radius, free at that time and have capacity. Owners can also keep favorite sitters: a request reaches an owner's favorites first, and if none accepts within 15 minutes it goes to every other eligible sitter.
Can I set my own prices?
Not per booking. Owners set the price, and you choose which requests to accept.
Can I take overnight stays?
Yes, if you want to. Longer sits and overnight stays are optional: you turn them on in your schedule, and you only get the requests you've said you can take.
Can I keep working on other platforms?
Yes. Patudo doesn't ask you to stop working elsewhere.
How much time do I need to give?
There's no minimum. You set your own availability.
What checks do you do?
A person on our team reviews every application, checks your ID against your details and photo, and reads your reference.
When does Patudo launch?
We're opening first in Arroios, Penha de França and Areeiro. We'll email you when registration opens.
