Become a HausDogs Provider

Dog care done to a real standard — and paid like it. HausDogs is a vetting-first network for people who take this craft seriously. Set your own schedule and rates, host your own group events, and join a roster of providers owners actually trust.

Why Join HausDogs?

Set Your Own Rates

You set the rate, and the standard you work to lets you hold it. We never cap your earnings.

Flexible Schedule

Work when you want, and take only the bookings that fit your life.

Clients Who Value Care

We connect you with owners who want calm, careful care — and come back for it.

Composure-Based Training

A real certification — nine modules and knowledge checks, not a checkbox — so the standard is something we build with you, not just ask of you.

The Certification

Every provider passes our certification before their profile goes live — nine self-paced modules, about 4½ hours, each ending in a short knowledge check (80% to pass, and retakes draw fresh questions). It's the standard behind the badge:

  1. 1The HausDogs Standard
  2. 2Reading Dogs: Behavior & Body Language
  3. 3Composure in Practice
  4. 4Safety Protocols
  5. 5Canine First Aid
  6. 6Emergency Procedures
  7. 7Professional Conduct
  8. 8The Platform: Bookings, Money & Policies
  9. 9Hosting Out of the Haus (for event hosts)

Already credentialed? A veterinary license, professional training certification (CPDT, KPA), or current pet first aid certificate waives the matching modules — the modules about how HausDogs works are the only ones everyone takes.

Run Your Own Events

Bookings are only half of it. Providers on HausDogs host their own Out of the Haus events and get paid by the group, not the hour. Run whatever you do best:

  • Group walks & pack hikes
  • Training workshops
  • Social meetups & park days
  • Breed meetups
  • Educational seminars
  • Seasonal celebrations
  • Or pitch your own idea

More Money, Less Time

One event with a full roster can out-earn an afternoon of back-to-back one-on-one bookings. You set the ticket price and the capacity — the math is yours.

You Run the Show

Pick the format, the place, and the schedule — a one-off or a recurring series. We handle the listing, RSVPs, payments, and payouts so you just show up and host.

Dogs & People, In Community

Events put you face to face with local owners and their dogs. It's the fastest way to meet your next regular clients — and the best part of the job.
