1. Apply
Tell us about your cat experience, why you want to sit, and provide two references we can call. The form takes about ten minutes. We read every application ourselves.
For sitters
Applications are open in the San Francisco Bay Area. Here is how the process works and what sitting on mraav is like.
Why sit with mraav
Your time with the cats is the job. Here is what we take off your plate.
Our fee is built into the price parents see, so it never comes out of your pocket. Parents pay through Stripe at booking, and your earnings are released to you about 24 hours after the booking ends.
Every sitter clears a third-party background check before going live. We pay for it, so there is one less cost between you and your first booking.
The process
Every sitter on mraav clears the same path. No exceptions, no shortcuts.
Tell us about your cat experience, why you want to sit, and provide two references we can call. The form takes about ten minutes. We read every application ourselves.
If your application looks like a fit, we set up a video call with our team in the San Francisco Bay Area. Cat-specific questions, a few scenarios, and your chance to ask anything about how the platform works. It is a two-way fit check.
After the interview, a third-party background check verifies your identity and runs your record, and we call your references. The background check is on us. Standard for the industry, non-negotiable for us.
Clear the checks and you create your account, build your profile (rates, service area, availability), and go live. From that moment cat parents in your zip codes can book you.
Once you are live
You set your own rates, service area, schedule, and cancellation policy. mraav is a marketplace, not a manager.
Where we are
We are launching in the San Francisco Bay Area first so we can personally interview every sitter and keep the bar high while we grow.
