Become a caregiver
Join a curated network. We are selective on purpose.
Shinyu is the best place to find high-quality work with pet parents who take care seriously — with local support, and without being treated like a listing. We approve only a small share of applicants. That’s the promise we make to the people who book you.
The work
Better than an open marketplace. More flexible than a job.
Compared with big open apps, caregivers on Shinyu tend to earn more per service and deal with fewer no-shows and fewer strangers who found them in a search. Compared with being an employee, you keep your calendar.
It is not a side hustle we fill a roster with. If you already take this work seriously, apply.
Clients who already care
Pet parents on Shinyu came here because they didn’t want a stranger-on-an-app experience. That’s a different kind of booking.
Pay that reflects the work
You’re not racing the lowest listing in a giant directory. Rates are yours. The network is selective, so the work tends to pay like it.
Flexible, on purpose
Set your own services and availability. Walks one week, boarding the next — or not. You’re not an employee on a shift board.
A local team behind you
Scheduling, billing, insurance, and a person in Albuquerque when a stay gets complicated. You focus on the pets.
Apply
Tell us who you are. We’ll be honest about fit.
Evaluation, an in-person interview, a mock service, and a background check come next. If it’s not a match, we’ll say so. If it is, you’ll show up in the app for pet parents nearby.
Start with the evaluation
The form is the first gate. If it’s a fit, we’ll be in touch about the interview.
ApplyWe approve only a small share of applicants. Applying does not guarantee a spot in the app.
