FAQ

16 questions, answered straight

These are the questions Petme sitters in Brescia actually ask before signing up, and the ones they wish they had asked sooner. Each answer is specific to Brescia, not a generic template.

Can I combine pet sitting and dog walking work in Brescia?

You are not locked to a single vertical. Offering both widens the requests that reach you in Brescia, and because you set each rate yourself you can price the one you prefer more attractively.

How much do pet sitters earn in Brescia?

Earnings depend on the services you offer and the hours you put in. As a worked example at Brescia rates, eight dog walks a week at the lowest walk rate come to about €310 a month, and four nights of house sitting a week at the top rate to about €946. Overnight boarding and house sitting pay the most per booking, drop-ins and walks the least. You keep up to 90% of every booking: Petme's service fee is 10-20%.

What does a typical week look like for a Petme sitter in Brescia?

You set the week yourself. One example: 4 dog walks during weekday lunchtimes, 2 drop-in visits in the evenings and one overnight stay at the weekend. At the lowest Brescia rates that week comes to about €84. Taking more overnight stays is the quickest way to raise it, because they pay the most per booking.

How much do dog walkers make in Brescia?

Dog walking pays €9–€16 per walk on Petme. A 30-minute neighbourhood walk is typically priced near the lower end; longer walks, multi-dog walks, or walks in busy city centres command the upper end. You set your own rate when you build your profile.

How much does overnight pet boarding pay in Brescia?

Boarding at the sitter's home pays €22–€40 per night, and house sitting (you stay at the owner's home) pays €30–€55 per night. Overnight care pays more per booking than any other Petme service, so a few stays a month move your income the most.

How does Petme's service fee work?

Petme takes 10-20% from each completed booking and the sitter keeps up to 90%. The fee covers payment processing, customer support, and the Petme Protection Plan for eligible vet costs.

How fast do payouts arrive in Brescia?

Payouts are released automatically once a booking is marked complete in the Petme app. The money lands in your bank account within 2 business days. You don't need to invoice the owner or chase payment: the platform handles it end-to-end.

What protections do sitters get on every booking?

The Petme Protection Plan, which can contribute up to €20,000 toward eligible vet costs if something happens to the pet in your care. It is a discretionary fund, not insurance. Petme also offers 24/7 customer support so you're never left handling an emergency alone.

What do I need to start as a Petme sitter?

You need to be 18 or older, own a smartphone capable of running the app, complete ID verification, and demonstrate genuine experience around animals during your profile review. Some local rules apply for commercial-scale boarding: see the country-specific question below.

How quickly can I get my first booking?

It depends on the services you offer, your rates and how many owners near you are looking, so there is no fixed wait. What you control is the profile owners choose from: at least 4 clear photos, a written bio, clear service descriptions and rates in line with Brescia. Opening your calendar over school holidays and Christmas, when owners travel, puts you in front of more requests.

Can I pet sit alongside my regular job?

Yes. You set your own availability and accept only the bookings that fit, so sitting in Brescia can run alongside a full-time job: dog walks fit lunchtime windows, drop-in visits fit evenings, and weekend boarding fits around a Monday-to-Friday week.

Where does Brescia demand cluster?

Centro Storico and Carmine (premium central), Mompiano (premium hill), San Polo and Lamarmora (mid-range), Porta Milano and Fiumicello (residential).

Typical Brescia boarding rates?

Boarding €22-40/night, walks €9-16, drop-in €9-15. Premium Centro and Mompiano reach €38-52.

Mille Miglia impact?

Mid-May, 4 days, international car-rally event. Hotels saturate, residents often leave or host out-of-town visitors. Boarding rates climb €5-10/night for the week.

How does Lake Garda affect demand?

May-September weekends, many Bresciani go to the Garda for day trips and short stays. Many lake hotels refuse dogs. Friday-Sunday boarding is steady.

Should I cover Desenzano or Salò?

Garda comuni (Desenzano, Salò) are 30-40 km east. Separate seasonal market with strong summer tourist demand. Worth including if you have a car: premium boarding clients in summer.
