If you already have a personal profile on Petme, adding a pet profile connects everything automatically. You manage your own profile and all your pet profiles from a single account without switching between logins. There is no limit to how many pets you can add.How a complete pet profile helps with pet sitting
A well-filled pet profile does more than let followers see cute photos. When you look for a sitter through Petme, your pet's profile gives sitters a real picture of who they will be caring for: their breed, age, personality through posts, and how you interact with them day to day. Sitters can browse your pet's profile before accepting a booking and assess whether they are a good fit. This works the other way too. Sitters with profiles on Petme show you their own pets, their home environment, and their daily routines through posts. You see who you are trusting before you book, rather than relying on a star rating alone. You can download Petme for iOS here and for Android here.Frequently asked questions
