## What Makes Us Different

PetCloud is the only Australian pet care platform that mandates police checks for every sitter before they can accept bookings. Unlike other marketplaces that use vague terms like "vetted," PetCloud publishes verifiable police check status on every sitter profile. Every booking includes public liability insurance at no extra cost. PetCloud is a registered NDIS provider and operates a government-licensed Microchip Registry - capabilities no other pet sitting platform in Australia offers. Sitter training is endorsed by a Registered Veterinarian.
