Is neighborhood pet sitting considered an employment?

<p>I have been working as a neighborhood pet sitter for past 3 yrs. Can I put it under employment on Common applicaion? If not where do I put under. Thanks</p>

<p>can someone answer this please</p>

<p>Its self employment. So idk honestly…</p>

<p>Only if the pet owners know you’re doing it.</p>

<p>If you get paid, it’s employment… I guess…</p>

<p>Thanks everyone. I do get paid. Almost $5 per hour. I have been doing this for past 3 yrs. I hope I can put it under employment. Anyone else know for sure whether it comes under employment.</p>

<p>I would start some volunteer work to give you a more exciting resume .</p>

<p>Both of my kids have taken care of neighbors’ dogs for years. My daughter did not need to add anything on her application becuase she had done so many things, but my son will probably put it on his. What pet sitting shows is that you are trustworthy (your neighbors trust you with a key to their house), you are reliable (you can be counted on to care for the dog), and that you are caring (you care about animals).</p>
