Frequently asked questions

When do I get paid?

Weekly bank transfer to your local account, or on-demand once you reach your country's minimum threshold (typically USD 50 equivalent).

Do I pay taxes on OnlyPaw income?

Yes — your OnlyPaw income is treated as self-employment or freelance income in most jurisdictions. Download annual earnings reports directly from the Earnings tab in the app. Consult a local accountant for country-specific advice.

Can I offer multiple services?

Yes. Most top earners on OnlyPaw offer 2–3 services (e.g. walking + drop-in visits, boarding + grooming). Each service has its own price and knowledge quiz.

Is OnlyPaw income stable?

Pet care is remarkably recession-resistant — people pay for their pets even in downturns. Boarding follows travel seasonality (spikes at holidays); walking and drop-ins are steady year-round.
