Lapdog connects you with pet owners in your area based on your skills, availability, and the care their pets need.
Do What You Love
Show up, be brilliant, get paid. We handle the bookings, payments, and admin so you can focus on the animals.
A platform designed around
your expertise.
Earn on your terms.
No rotas. No on-call. No asking permission. 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.
Use every skill you have.
Post-op recovery, medication schedules, behavioural observation — the same standard of care they'd get at a clinic, without ever leaving home.
Lapdog exists because we'd rather have someone who can spot early signs of distress and give incredible belly rubs.
Do what you love, love what you do.
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 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, all on your terms.
We've got your back.
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.
We know you might
have questions.
Every concern is valid. Here's our honest take.
You don't need a free weekend to get started. Offer telehealth consults from your couch, or fit in a home visit between shifts. You choose what's available and when — Lapdog works around the schedule you already have.
Lapdog lets you build a care practice on your terms — choose the services you offer, from house sitting and home visits to telehealth consultations, set your own schedule, and name your own rates. You're not just watching someone's pet. You're delivering qualified, professional-grade care that pet parents can't get anywhere else.
We ensure every pet owner provides up-to-date emergency contact information, and your clinical training gives owners extra peace of mind. In addition, Lapdog requires all providers to hold appropriate public liability insurance, and our platform support team has your back in case of a tricky situation.
You set your own rates for every service you offer. House sits, home visits, telehealth — you decide what each one is worth.
Built around vets and nurses.
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.
Insurance Required
We require all vets and nurses to hold public liability insurance appropriate for the services they offer, giving pet owners confidence in your professionalism.
Simple, Reliable Payments
No chasing invoices. Payments are handled through the platform, so you get paid for the work you do on time, every time.
No Marketing Required
While you focus on the animals, Lapdog's platform connects you with pet owners based on your skills and location.
