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.

Can I look after dogs at my own home in Slovenia?
Yes. Boarding means the dog stays with you overnight, and you set the nightly rate yourself. Before the first stay you can meet the owner and the dog, and agree on feeding, walks and where the dog sleeps.
Can I pet sit in Slovenia as a retiree?
Yes. You must be 18 or older and there is no upper age limit. ZPIZ lists civil-law contracts and personal supplementary work (ODD) among the forms of work that do not affect drawing a pension. Check with ZPIZ or FURS which form applies to you.
Where do I apply as a pet sitter in Slovenia?

Which Slovenian cities have the most demand for pet sitters?
Demand is highest in the larger cities and on the coast. Koper, Izola and Piran get busier in summer, when owners travel, and Alpine areas in the ski season.
When is the busiest season for pet sitters in Slovenia?
July and August are the peak, when owners leave for the coast or abroad. Christmas, New Year and the May 1 long weekend bring shorter peaks. Coastal towns rise sharply in summer, Alpine areas in the ski season.
Can I pet sit in Slovenia as a student?
Yes, from age 18. You choose which requests you accept, so you can take fewer during exams and more in summer. Petme is not a student employment service, so this is not work through a napotnica: you offer your services on your own.
