The Police check badge displayed on some sitters profiles indicates that the sitter has undergone a police background check.
At Pawshake, we offer Pet Sitters the opportunity to obtain a police check through our partners at Intercheck. When the sitters have passed the background check, the badge will display on their profile.
A police check is a check of a persons criminal records up until the date of issue. As a result, they do not have expiry dates.
Sitters can also obtain background checks through different providers. We ask those sitters to mention their police check in their profile description, and to bring it along to the Meet & Greets for their clients.
Pawshake recommends our sitters to update their background checks every 12 months, so that they remain current.
When sighting your sitters Police Check, please ensure to check the date of issue. Pawshake removes Police Check badges from sitter profiles after 12 months if they have not been renewed.
