How do I create a payout account?

To receive payment for jobs on SitterTree, create a payout account. This allows you to securely transfer your earnings to your bank account.

The setup process is simple and only takes a few minutes.

Why a payout account is required

A payout account allows you to:

• Transfer earnings directly to your bank account
• Receive required tax forms

You must create a payout account to apply to jobs.

Setup payout account

1. Log in to SitterTree
2. Select the Create a payout account to apply banner. (Or, select a job to apply to.)
3. Select Start verification.

You’ll be redirected to Stripe, SitterTree’s secure payment partner.

Verify your identity through Stripe

Stripe will securely verify your identity and process payments.

1. Enter your personal information exactly as it appears on your government-issued ID
2. Take a photo of your government-issued photo ID
3. Take a live selfie to confirm your identity.

These steps help protect your account and ensure payments go to the right person.

Before submitting, double-check that your information matches your ID. Small errors can delay approval.

Connect your bank account or debit card

Next, connect the bank account or debit card where you’d like your earnings deposited. This is the account you’ll transfer your SitterTree job earnings to.

What happens next

Once your payout account and background check are complete, your profile will move forward in the approval process.

If everything is in order, you’ll receive your Identity Verification and Background Check badges on your SitterTree profile. Your full profile will then be reviewed by our Support team.

Keep an eye on your email in case additional information is needed. Responding quickly helps avoid delays.
