Are pet loss grief counseling sessions virtual?

Almost always. Counselors on PetWorks book video and phone sessions, which means you can support grieving pet parents anywhere in the United States and Canada instead of only in your area.

Do I set my own pet loss session length and price?

Yes. You create your own session packages - a single session, a series, or support for the whole family - and set the length and price for each one.

How much does it cost to list my pet loss counseling practice?

Pro membership is free once you're approved. Optional Featured and Premium subscription upgrades are paid. When a pet parent books a session through PetWorks, we withhold 15% as a booking fee (e.g. on a $100 session, you receive $85). On larger bookings the fee is 15% on the first $1,000 + 3% on every dollar over $1,000.

How do I get pet loss counseling clients on PetWorks?

A pet parent finds your listing, picks one of your session packages, and pays for it up front, and the booking arrives in your PetWorks inbox. You confirm, hold the session by video or phone, and mark the booking complete when you are done. This tutorial video walks through it end to end.

When do I get paid?

When a pet parent pays - whether they book a package or pay a custom quote - their card is charged through Stripe and your earnings are paid out to your bank automatically. Funds often arrive within a few business days; your first payout may take longer while Stripe verifies your account. Premium members with instant payouts may receive funds sooner.

How do pet parents pay me?

Once you enroll in online payments, pet parents book you online using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Affirm, and Klarna. Our payments are powered by Stripe.

Can I counsel grieving pet parents outside my own area?

Yes. PetWorks covers the United States and Canada, and because sessions are held by video or phone, you can support grieving pet parents anywhere we operate, not only in your own area.

Why list my pet loss counseling practice on PetWorks?

Because pet parents come here during the hardest week of their pet's life, and in the weeks after it, already looking for someone to talk to. You set your session lengths and prices, hold sessions from anywhere, and we handle getting you found, booked, and paid.

How do pet parents find PetWorks?

Mostly Google and ChatGPT. A pet parent searches for what they need - "pet transport to Florida", "animal chiropractor near me" - and a PetWorks category or listing page comes up, or they ask an AI assistant to help them find a pro and it sends them here. Either way they arrive already looking to hire, which is why your photos, your description, and your reviews do so much of the work once they land on your listing.

Can I join PetWorks without using your payment system?

You cannot list your pet care services with PetWorks without enrolling in our payment system.

Can I create a listing if I'm not in the U.S.?

Yes, if you're in Canada! We currently welcome pet pros and pet parents in the United States and Canada. For this reason, we're only looking for pet lovers in the U.S. and Canada to join us (for now!)
