Absolutely horrible Company to work for - Pet Sitter Meowtel Employee Review

I've been doing this job for almost a year and I haven't had a negative experience, it's a great option if you love cats. Peak times for getting reservations are near major holidays or over the summer months.

Earnings transfers take forever if you want to avoid fees, especially since there's no direct bank deposit and it has to go through Paypal first. I've also experienced glitches with the app directing an address into Google maps, it tries to send me to a random set of coordinates instead of the correct location. It's better to type the address into maps manually to avoid this.

Getting paid to play and spend time with cats. Just being on the platform brings clients to you. I never advertised myself outside of the platform, and now I am making $4k a month! You are your own boss and set your own hours. Support staff is very helpful and it always feels like they advocate for you. No need for makeup - you can wear athleisure everyday and cats dont care if you have messy hair.

Commission taken from your earnings is significant - 30% base. Commission taken can go as low as 15%, but that's ONLY after a client spends $3k on reservations with you, which realistically takes years. It can feel unfair. As an Independent Contractor, you have to save earnings for taxes and record your own mileage for deductions. There will be wear and tear on your car that can become expensive. Cats are apex predators at the end of the day, so some of them are spicy. They will hiss and could bite you. Some of the clients are nightmares to deal with.
