We have created the verification process to help build trust in our community and enable you to provide reassurance to pet parents when they are deciding who should care for their home and pets while they are away.
The ID document check is made up of:
- Identity check
- Visual ID document check
All ID document verifications are carried out by our trusted third-party provider, Evident ID.
Sitters are asked to provide a visual document of an identification document - for example, a passport, driving licence or National Identity Card. Identification checks are then performed on their chosen document to ensure that they are valid, including cross-checking databases to ensure that they have not been reported as lost, stolen or compromised.
Evident ID have compiled a useful checklist below to help you in completing the check successfully:
