Lapdog connects pet owners with qualified Vet Nurse Sitters for professional, in-home pet care. No kennels, no strangers — just a credentialed provider who treats your pet like family.
We're building our community of pet parents and providers as we prepare to launch. Join the waiting list to be the first to know when we go live in your area.
Lapdog connects you with qualified Vet Nurses who treat your home like theirs and your pet like family.
We love your pet almost as much as you do. Almost.
Lapdog connects qualified Vet Nurses with pet owners who need professional, in-home care. You choose what you take on, when you work and how much you earn.
Sign up, verify your qualifications, tell us about your experience and the services you'd like to offer.
We pair you with pet owners in your area based on your skills, availability and the care their pets need.
Show up, be brilliant, get paid. We handle the bookings, payments and admin, so you can focus on the animals.
No rotas. No on-call. You pick the jobs, set the hours and name your rates. Imagine getting paid to spend a whole weekend with a labrador who thinks you're the greatest human alive.
Even one booking a week puts your qualification to work and your bank account in a considerably better mood.
Post-op recovery, medication schedules, behavioural observation — this isn't just pet sitting, it's professional-grade care in the comfort of their own home.
Lapdog exists because we'd rather have someone who can spot early signs of distress and give incredible belly rubs.
Remember why you became a vet nurse in the first place? That feeling when an anxious pet finally relaxes in your hands, or an owner tears up because they know you genuinely care.
Lapdog focuses on the parts of the job you love the most. It's just you, a pet who needs your expertise, and the deep satisfaction of doing what you're brilliant at.
We handle bookings, payments and finding clients, meaning you can focus on the part you're best at — the animals.
The Lapdog app lets you manage your profile, your bookings and your rates at any time.
Every concern is valid. Here's our honest take.
You pick the jobs and set the hours based on your availability. The Lapdog platform is designed to work around the life and schedule you already have.
Pet sitting is what your neighbour's teenager does. You're a qualified nurse providing professional-grade care: medication management, post-op monitoring, behavioural assessment. Your expertise is what sets Lapdog apart.
We ensure every pet owner provides up-to-date emergency contact information, and your clinical training gives owners extra peace of mind. Lapdog provides platform support and a team that has your back in case of a tricky situation.
You set your own pricing based on the services you want to provide. Overnight stays, specialist post-op care and additional services can all be priced differently. Your qualification is your pricing power, and Lapdog makes sure customers know they're paying for expertise.
Lapdog is more than a pet-sitting app, it's a platform built around qualified veterinary professionals. We believe pets deserve clinical-grade care even when they're not at the clinic.
No chasing invoices. Payments are handled through the platform, so you get paid for the work you do on time, every time.
While you focus on the animals, we'll match you with pet owners based on your skills and location.
Have a question about a booking, a tricky situation, or just need to talk something through? We're here for you.
Work when you want, as much or as little as you like. The platform is designed to fit around your life, not the other way around.
Sign up and share your pet's personality, health needs, routine and what kind of care you're after.
Our team connects you with a qualified Vet Nurse Sitter based on your pet's needs, your location and your schedule.
An introductory visit so your pet (and you) can get comfortable before the first booking.
Your pet is in expert hands. Enjoy photo updates and check-ins, giving you the peace of mind you deserve.
Each sitter's qualifications, study transcripts, and professional registrations are verified by our founding team before they're approved. We don't skip steps.
Every Lapdog sitter is a credentialed veterinary professional. That means your pet gets clinical-grade care, even when they're not at the clinic.
Whether it's a medication schedule, post-op recovery, anxiety management or dietary needs, your sitter knows exactly what to look for and how to respond.
This isn't just pet sitting. It's professional care delivered with the clinical knowledge that only a qualified Vet Nurse can provide.
Photo updates, routine logs and a qualified professional who notices the small things. You'll wonder why you ever worried.
Booking updates mean you always know how things are going.
Your pet stays where they're already the most comfortable — in their own home. One-on-one attention, familiar surroundings, zero cage vibes.
Vacation mode: on. Guilt mode: off. Leaving your pet is hard. Leaving them with a Lapdog provider? Honestly kind of luxurious.
We built Lapdog around the things pet parents actually lose sleep over.
Update your pet's profile anytime. Tell us about new medications, dietary changes and health updates, so your sitter always has the full picture before they walk through the door.
Qualifications, transcripts, and registrations verified. Every sitter is checked before they're approved to take bookings.
Photo updates, routine logs and direct messaging with your sitter, so you always know how things are going.
No cages, no shared spaces, no strangers' pets. Just their own bed, their own toys and a qualified provider keeping them company.
