No. Please quote prices that you see fit and fair. This is an open marketplace where the customer will get multiple quotes from service providers. Your experience will help you judge the right price.

No, once the verification is done, your certificate can be seen on your profile. Hence you need not carry any certification.

What is the service process?
The Service expert will report that he has reached the service venue via the button which appears when he is at the destination. The pet parent will then receive an OTP which he/she will give to the service expert who will enter it in the app to start the service. When the service is completed, the service expert will click on the end service prompt on the app. The pet parent gets an OTP which when given to the service provider will help him close the service.
