Creating an account on The Animal List is your first step toward hiring top-tier animal talent or listing your own animal services. Whether you're a buyer looking to book animal talent or a seller ready to showcase your services, this guide will walk you through the simple steps of setting up your profile (or what we call a PETfolio).

Step 1: Choose Your Account Type

The Animal List offers two types of accounts:

•Buyer Account: Ideal for individuals or businesses looking to hire animal talent. Whether you need an animal actor for a film, a therapy animal for an event, or a pet influencer for a marketing campaign, the buyer account is your gateway to connecting with the right talent.

•Seller Account: Perfect for those who want to list their animal talent for hire. If you own an animal with special skills, are a professional animal wrangler, or run an animal-related service, this account will help you reach potential clients.
