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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does a Petme sitter earn in Murska Sobota?
Boarding in Murska Sobota typically runs €14–€22 per night, walks clear €7–€12/hour effectively, and daycare lands at €13–€20 per day. Petme charges 0% to pet owners, so up to 90% of every booking lands with you.
Do I need to register an s.p. to pet sit in Slovenia?
Not necessarily for occasional work. Personal supplementary work (osebno dopolnilno delo, ODD) lists occasional pet care at the owner's home on its official list of allowed activities; you register with AJPES before you start. It is not confirmed that ODD covers bookings made through a platform, so check with FURS. For regular income, a normirani s.p. is the usual route. See spot.gov.si.
Do I need to declare pet sitting income in Slovenia?
Yes. How you declare it depends on the form you work under: ODD, an s.p. or a civil-law contract. Under ODD you report the income to FURS every half-year. An accountant can confirm which form fits how often you sit.
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.
Where do I apply as a pet sitter in Slovenia?
Apply at petme.social/become-a-pet-sitter-in-slovenia. The application covers your experience with animals and the services you want to offer. After identity verification your profile goes live and nearby owners can message you in the app.
Which Slovenian cities have the most demand for pet sitters?
