What is a Petme cat sitter?

Swiss cat care that respects your cat’s territory

Cats are creatures of routine. They know their cushion, their favourite chair, the sounds of your apartment. A boarding facility means leaving all that behind and that is stress for most cats. A Petme cat sitter comes to your place instead, one to three times a day, feeds, cleans the litter, plays a little, sends you a photo and a message.

Petme is a Switzerland-wide platform for verified cat sitters. Every sitter has been through ID verification and accumulates public reviews from other Swiss owners. Every booking automatically includes up to CHF 20,000 of vet protection. Owners pay a flat 0% platform fee, the rate listed on the sitter’s profile is exactly what you pay.

Whether you live in Zurich-Enge, Geneva’s Eaux-Vives, Basel’s Gundeldingen, or any other Swiss neighbourhood, Petme shows you sitters within a radius of your address. You read the reviews, book a free meet and greet, and earn cashback after every booking.

Drop-in visits vs boarding

Why most Swiss cats are better off at home

Boarding asks the cat to leave their whole world behind. For most cats, that is stress. Drop-in visits keep scent, routine and territory intact.

Familiar environment

Your cat stays in their territory with their smells, sleeping spots, and routines. No unfamiliar sounds, no other cats, no transport stress.

One sitter, one relationship

A single trusted sitter is in charge for the booking. Consistency, not rotating shifts as in a boarding facility.

Litter and food, exactly as before

The sitter follows your instructions: how much kibble, which wet food brand, which litter, how often to change. Everything as if you were home.

Photo updates and play time

You get regular photo and message updates. Play and cuddle time are part of every visit, not just function.

Meet and greet before booking

Every Petme sitter offers a free meet with your cat before the booking. If the chemistry is off, you try a different sitter.

CHF 20,000 vet protection

Auto-included on every booking. Swiss partner vets bill Petme directly, you pay nothing upfront.
