For walkers

Start Earning With Pets You Love

Imagine getting paid to spend time with animals. No offices, no fixed hours, no limits. With Shapa, you decide when you work, who you work with, and how you grow your side income—walking, sitting, or both. To start, the app is free for all walkers while we grow the network. Only once there are enough people on the map will you need a monthly subscription to keep full walker access—and Shapa still never takes a commission from what owners pay you.

Flexible

Set Your Own Schedule

No offices, no fixed hours. You decide when you're available, how often you work, and how much you take on. Fit it around your studies, your job, or your life.

Local

Work Close to Home

Connect with pet owners in your part of Belgrade. Short commutes, familiar neighborhoods, and the chance to build regulars who live nearby.

Your choice

Choose Who You Work With

You pick the requests that fit you. Review the pet, the owner, and the schedule—and only accept what works. No pressure, no obligations.

Fair

Keep What You Earn

We're opening with free access for every walker so the map fills with real requests. When the community is strong enough, a simple subscription will keep your profile and visibility active—still no cut of what owners pay you. Agree rates directly and keep every dinar you earn.

How does it work for walkers?

Three steps from sign-up to your first booking.

Build your walker profile

1. Build your profile

Add a photo, your neighborhood, what services you offer, and your rates. Submit ID for verification.

Browse requests on the map

2. Browse requests on the map

Open the map to see walks and sittings in your area. Apply to ones that fit your schedule.

Walk and get paid

3. Walk, get paid, get reviewed

Owner picks you, you handle the walk in-app with GPS, they pay you directly. Reviews build your reputation.

What can you earn?

Walkers set their own rates. Here's what the typical Belgrade walker takes home — every dinar is yours.

~25,000 RSD
casual walker

5–10 walks per week, mostly evenings or weekends.

~60,000 RSD
regular walker

15–20 walks per week, 1–2 sittings per month.

~120,000 RSD+
full-time

30+ walks per week, multi-pet sittings, recurring clients.

These are illustrative averages based on typical Belgrade rates. Your actual earnings depend on your hours, neighborhood, and pricing.

Built for Walkers

Shapa is built so you can focus on great care—clear expectations, direct communication, and tools that help pet owners find and trust you.

No Commission

What owners pay you is yours. When a subscription applies, it covers platform access—not a percentage of every booking. Walkers start free while we grow the map.

Verified Owners

See who you're talking to, chat before you commit, and only take jobs when you're comfortable.

Reviews That Count

Great work shows on your profile. Build a reputation that helps you win more of the requests you want.

Direct Messages

Agree details, timing, and handoffs in-app so everyone stays on the same page.

Monthly Plans

Shapa is free for all walkers at the beginning. We want enough owners and walkers on the map first. Only when the network has grown enough will these monthly plans apply, unlocking a set number of walks and pet sits on the platform. All money you earn from owners stays yours — no commission, no hidden fees on your payouts.
