Why trainers pick WellKept Pet.
You keep more
Standard 20% take rate. The first 25 founding trainers keep 90% for their first 12 months.
Your sessions
Offer private lessons, board-and-train, or recurring group classes. You set the format, length, and price for each.
Show your creds
Add your certifications (CPDT-KA, KPA, IAABC, and more) to your profile so clients can see exactly who they're hiring.
Insured by you
Carry your own professional pet-care insurance ($1M general liability + $25k animal bailee); a professional-liability line is recommended. Verified before your first session.
Paid via Stripe
Stripe Connect pays out directly into your bank from a dashboard you own. Standard Stripe payout cadence applies.
Founding badge
First 25 trainers get a permanent Founding Member badge on their public profile, plus first-page placement in their service area.
What we ask of every trainer.
Training shapes how a dog lives for years, so we hold trainers to a high bar. Every trainer on WellKept Pet is someone we'd trust with our own dog's behavior.
- Be 18 or older
- Pass identity verification and background check
- Have demonstrable dog-training experience or certification
- Complete a short video onboarding
- Maintain a 4.5+ star rating over time
- Respond to messages within 24 hours
- Use humane, reward-based methods and follow our safety protocols
- Carry professional pet-care insurance before your first session
Optional: Earn the Meet First badge
Record a short video introducing yourself and your training approach. Owners can watch it before they book. Meet First trainers tend to stand out in search and book more often. You can do this after signup — and if you'd rather not record video, a quick call with our team works too.
