Stripe will charge your card at the time of booking, similar to LYFT and UBER. You will see an authorization hold for the transaction, which will drop off within 3-5 business days. Processing times may vary depending on your bank.
Your funds are stored in an escrow account where both you and your sitter will see the said funds. The sitter will not have access to the funds unless you release payment which may take up to two days after the service is complete.
If a provider does not accept your request, any processing charges will be dropped from your bank account.
Important: Never pay your pet sitter or dog walker by cash or check—this can expose you to fraud and make your bookings ineligible for support.

Fizgig was developed with pets in mind. Our platform creates a unique ecosystem for pet lovers to connect with the ones they care for the most – Pets. As we continue to innovate and optimize our app, the service fees below will allow us to keep our platform running smoothly.
Bookings Service Fees
Under $500 15%
Above $500 10%
  As you build your book of business, we consider these fees to play an integral role in providing ongoing support, the introduction of educational material, and 24/7 customer care support. These fees also help our sitters cover the cost of background checks, payment processing, and promotions on Fizgig.

While Fizgig has liability insurance to help protect owners and Pet Sitters alike, we encourage our sitters to secure additional insurance.
