Offering stewardship of your animal

Participating caretakers can invite monthly support for an animal they own or co-own, personally or through their organization. Open the Stewardship Listings dashboard and select Create sponsorship. You can also use Create listing > Stewardship from an eligible animal's profile.

The animal must be public, not marked deceased, and not already listed for sale, committed to a sale, or attached to another unarchived stewardship offering.

Tell supporters what care looks like

Choose the caretaker under Offer As. Add an optional title and a description of at least 50 characters. Explain who the animal is, why support matters, and what a steward can expect. Help me write can suggest a description or terms; review its wording before saving.

Set the monthly commitment

Enter a Monthly Rate of at least $5. Under How often will you update stewards?, choose weekly, every two weeks, or monthly updates. Supporters see this promise before paying, so pick a schedule you can maintain.

Set Stewardship spots to 1 for an exclusive steward or up to 50 for a shared Circle. For a Circle, you can let active stewards invite friends into open spots.

The monthly rate, update frequency, three stewardship spots, and invitation setting

The steward pays the rate plus a 5% service fee. Creatures deducts a separate 5% caretaker fee from your payment unless you have Creatures Pro.

Protect the animal's location

Choose the animal's location under Address. Public location display lets you show the city and state, the region only, or hide the location. Hiding the location also excludes the offering from distance filtering.

Add optional Terms for any animal-specific expectations. Stewardship never transfers ownership, custody, breeding rights, or guaranteed physical access.

Draft first, verify before publishing

Select Save Draft. Review the saved offering, then select Publish from the dashboard when ready. If verification is unfinished, use Finish verification to publish.

You can save before completing phone and identity verification, but publishing and payments require those checks. A connected payout account is not required to collect money into your Creatures Wallet; you need one to withdraw. See connecting your payout account.

Manage the listing

On Stewardship Listings, use View offering to review the public page or Edit to update allowed details. Pause and Archive are available only when the offering has no current stewards.
