You did the meet and greets. You earned the five-star reviews. You know their dog's breakfast routine. Why does the platform take 20% of that — forever?
You paid $75 just to create a profile. Then they take 20–40% of every booking on top of that.
You can't even get your client's phone number. The platform forces every message through their chat so they can keep taking their cut.
Howl is built for professionals, not gig workers.
That's it. No per-booking fees. No percentage cuts. Whether you make $500 or $5,000 in a month, Howl costs the same.
Other platforms charge $49–$79 just to create a profile. On Howl, your first month is completely free. Build your profile, get clients, then decide.
After matching, you get the owner's real phone number. Build real relationships. Repeat bookings happen between you and your client, not through platform chat.
On other platforms, sitters can't rate owners. On Howl, it's mutual. See if an owner paid on time, communicated well, and provided accurate pet info — before you accept their request.
Your profile, reviews, and booking history are saved forever. Cancel your subscription and come back anytime — everything picks up where you left off.

“I was giving away 20% of every single booking on Rover. On Howl I pay $50 a month and keep everything else. It paid for itself in the first week.”

“I brought over six of my regular clients in the first week. They were happy to switch because nothing changed for them except my sitter fee dropped. I finally have one place to manage my whole business.”

“The mutual review system is a game-changer. I can finally see if an owner is respectful and communicative before accepting a booking. No more surprises.”
