Pet sitting in Zurich: what to know
Zurich is one of the most pet-dense cities in Switzerland. Expat households, banking professionals, and tech workers all need reliable pet care, and supply has not kept up with demand. Neighborhoods like Seefeld, Enge, and Wipkingen have particularly high booking volume for dog boarding, walking, and daycare. If you live in or near these areas, you already have a built-in client base.
Petme sitters keep up to 90% of every booking. You set your own rates, choose your own hours, and accept only the bookings that fit your schedule. Verification takes 24 to 48 hours, and every booking automatically includes CHF 20,000 in vet protection so you never carry liability alone. Cashback compounds for your clients, which means repeat bookings are the norm, not the exception.
