The problem
When you need another machine, you're trusting a stranger on a customer's property — and with your money. Mastiff makes the hire vetted, the work trackable, and the payment safe.

How it works
Search certified operators by service, city, and travel radius — mulching, right-of-way, cedar clearing. Compare ratings, rates, before/after portfolios, and Verified/Insured badges.
Open a direct thread, confirm the scope, dates, and price. No hire request required to start a conversation.
The operator sends a payment request; you pay it with a card. Mastiff holds the funds — they aren't released yet.
Assign the work and share a job packet or a no-login work link so the operator runs it from their phone in the field.
When the operator marks the job complete, release the payment (or it auto-releases after 7 days). Leave a verified-hire review.
Capabilities
A searchable network of certified land clearing operators with ratings, rates, services, travel radius, and before/after portfolios. Filter by service, location, and insurance.
1:1 threads between outfits and operators with an unread badge and an email nudge. Sort out scope, dates, and price before you hire.
Pay through Mastiff and the funds are held until the job is done. Release on approval or auto-release after 7 days. Cancel before release for a full refund, or open a dispute. The service fee is added on top so the operator keeps their full quote — 0% on clients you bring · 5% on network-sourced work (10% without a membership).
Operators can earn a Verified badge (admin-reviewed) and an Insured badge (proof of coverage), shown on their profile and network card.
Only outfits that actually hired an operator can review them, so ratings reflect real jobs. Averages show on profiles and network cards.
Join free, build a profile with services and a before/after portfolio, set up Stripe payouts, and send payment requests to outfits you've worked with.
FAQ
When you hire an operator, you pay into escrow — Mastiff holds the funds rather than sending them straight to the operator. The money is released to the operator only when you approve the job complete, or automatically 7 days after they mark it done. If the job falls through before release you can cancel for a full refund, or open a dispute for Mastiff to resolve.
The hiring outfit. The service fee is added on top of the operator's quote, so the operator receives their full amount and you're charged the quote plus the fee. It's 0% on clients you bring, 5% on network-sourced work, and 10% on network-sourced work without an active membership.
After you release the held payment, or automatically 7 days after the operator marks the job complete — whichever comes first. Payouts go to the operator's connected Stripe account.
