ODD & sole trader

How to earn legally: ODD or s.p.

Personal supplementary work (ODD)

For occasional pet care, the lightest registered path is personal supplementary work (osebno dopolnilno delo, ODD). Helping care for pets at the owner's home is on the official ODD activity list. You register with AJPES before you start; employed, unemployed, and retired people can all sign up. The monthly voucher (vrednotnica) is €14.54 (from 1 April 2026), with a per-half-year income limit. Check the details at spot.gov.si.

Normirani s.p.

Once income becomes regular, most sitters open a normirani s.p. through AJPES: it deducts a flat 80% of revenue as expenses, contributions are paid monthly, and income is reported annually to FURS. Those with a main job can use a popoldanski s.p. A local accountant handles the paperwork.
