Keep more of what you earn.
Most pet care platforms take 15–25% of every booking — including the clients you already have. Lukas takes 1% on clients you bring yourself. $0/month, no contract.
The platform math doesn't work in your favor
Most pet care platforms charge 15–25% of every booking — including clients who've been with you for years. That's not a finder's fee. That's a forever fee.
A walker doing $2,000/month pays up to $400/month to their current platform. On Lukas: $20 in platform fees, plus standard payment processing.
That's over $300 back in your pocket every month.
| Other platforms | Lukas | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly fee | $0 | $0 |
| Platform take | 15–25% of every booking, forever | 1% on your own clients |
| New client fee | 15–25% forever | 10% of their first 30 days |
| Your take on $2,000/mo | ~$1,550 – $1,700 | ~$1,920 – $1,965 |
| Your yearly take | ~$18,600 – $20,400 | ~$23,000 – $23,500 |
Based on $2,000/month from your own clients. Lukas range includes typical payment processing (bank transfers on the high end, cards on the low end). Cash, Zelle and Venmo: 0% Lukas fee.

Get discovered. New clients in your area find and book you directly through your Lukas profile page.
Your clients are always yours.
Independent walkers and sitters worry about one thing when they take time off: will their clients still be there when they come back?
With Lukas, yes. Lukas Pet Care only steps in when you ask for help covering a confirmed booking, and when a sitter is available. The moment you're available again, your clients are yours. We have a strict no-poaching policy: if we help cover a booking, we never keep your client.

Lukas
Solo walkers to full teams
- 1% of payments from clients you bring yourself
- 10% of a marketplace client's first 30 days, then 1%
- 0% on cash, Zelle and Venmo you mark as paid
- Full platform: booking page, scheduling, CRM, invoices, marketing tools
- Help covering bookings when you can't make it
Card and bank payments also carry standard processing fees, paid to the payment processor, not Lukas. Bank transfers cost far less than cards, so we default to them.
Common questions
Can I keep my existing clients?
Yes. Your existing clients are yours. Lukas gives you a personal booking link to share with them directly — they book with you through Lukas, and you stop paying platform fees to anyone else on those bookings.
Do I have to stop using other platforms?
No. Most providers start by using Lukas for existing clients while continuing to use other platforms for new client discovery. Over time, as your Lukas profile gets found organically, many providers naturally shift more of their business to Lukas. There's no requirement to be exclusive.
What's the catch?
No catch. $0/month, any team size. Lukas takes 1% of payments from clients you bring yourself, and nothing on cash, Zelle or Venmo payments you mark as paid. When a new client finds you through the Lukas marketplace, we take 10% of what they pay in their first 30 days. After that, it's 1% like everyone else. Standard payment processing fees apply to card and bank payments.
What if I need to cancel a booking?
It happens. If you have to cancel a confirmed booking, Lukas Pet Care will try to cover it at the same rate your client was already paying, when a sitter is available. When you're back, your client relationship picks up where it left off. We don't use coverage situations to build our own client base.
What do I need to join?
If you have an active profile on a verified pet care platform — just share your booking link and you're verified. We skip the background check because you were already vetted. If you're starting fresh, we run a background check and ask for proof of pet-sitting liability insurance. Either way, you can be live on Lukas within 24 hours.
Is there a contract?
No contracts. No lock-in. Your client data is always yours — export it anytime. Cancel whenever you want.
Your clients are already paying you.
