Can I do house sitting jobs in Long Beach at 16 or 17?
No. Petme sitters must be 18 or over, so under-18s cannot take bookings yet. From 18 you need a smartphone with the Petme app, to pass ID verification, and a profile that describes the pets you have cared for, including your own.
Is house sitting a good part time job in Long Beach?
It fits part-time schedules well because you are self-employed: no assigned shifts, no minimum hours, and you set your own rate. Many Long Beach sitters take a few bookings a week around a job or studies and scale up or down as their calendar allows.
