Pet sitter income in Bulgaria

How much do pet sitters earn in Bulgaria?
Income depends on the service: a walk pays 15-20 BGN, a night of boarding 25-50 BGN, a drop-in visit 12-24 BGN, house sitting at the owner’s home 40-70 BGN per night, and daycare 20-35 BGN. With Petme you keep up to 90% of every booking, and regular clients build a stable monthly income.
Which service pays the most?
Per booking, boarding and house sitting pay the most (25-70 BGN per night) because they cover a full day and night. Walks pay less per engagement but are short and easy to repeat several times a day.
Do I set my own rates?
Yes. You set your own prices in your profile by service, experience and area. You see exactly how much you will receive before accepting a request, because you keep up to 90% of the amount.
Is there income beyond the booking fee?
Yes. On every completed booking you earn cashback into your Petme wallet, which accumulates on top of what you earn from the care itself.
How and when do I get paid?
Payment goes securely through the app once the stay starts, never in cash. You keep up to 90% of the amount, and payment is protected for both you and the owner.
Can pet care be a main income?
For many it starts as extra income in their spare time and grows as they build regular clients and good reviews. Combining several services (walks, visits, overnight stays) and working during high-demand periods increases monthly income.
