The shortest form of pet care on Petme

You arrive at the cat's home, run the routine the owner agreed, and move on. That is why cat sitting fits around a job, studies, or remote work in a way overnight care does not.

Short visits around your day

A cat visit is quick, so it fits before or after work. No fixed shifts and no dispatcher handing you hours.

Self-employed, not shift work

You pick every booking, set your own rates, and answer to the owner rather than a manager. You run cat sitting as your own small business.

The summer wave works for you

July and August are Croatia’s travel peak, and cats stay home while owners go. Sitters available in those weeks build a base of regulars for the rest of the year.

FAQ

Cat sitting work in Croatia

What new sitters ask before joining Petme.

How much do cat sitters earn per visit in Croatia?

Cat sitting on Petme pays €8 to €15 per visit, and a typical cat visit runs 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the city and what the routine involves. You set your own rate, and you keep up to 90% of every booking.

What does a single cat visit involve?

Feeding, fresh water, a litter change, some play, and a check that the cat is doing fine. After each visit you send the owner a photo and a short message in the app chat, so they can see how things are going while they travel.

Can I get bookings as an English-speaking sitter in Croatia?

Yes, in the right cities. Zagreb, Split, Rijeka, Zadar, Dubrovnik and Pula carry expat and remote-worker communities who book in English, helped by Croatia’s digital-nomad residence permit, which runs up to 18 months. Outside those cities most owners write in Croatian, so the Croatian page is the better starting point.

When is demand for cat sitting highest in Croatia?

July and August, when owners travel and cats stay home, with a second bump around the winter holidays. On the coast the tourist season stretches the summer peak, so sitters with open summer availability fill their calendars first.

Do I need my own space to sit cats?

No. Cats are looked after in their own home, so you visit rather than host. That means no spare room, no garden, and no equipment of your own. What matters is reliability and keeping to the times you agreed with the owner.

Can I do this alongside a job or studies?

Yes. Visits are short and can be scheduled before or after work, which is why cat sitting suits people with other commitments. You accept or decline every request, and you can pause your profile whenever you need a break.

What protection do I have on each visit?

The Protection Plan can contribute up to €20,000 toward eligible vet costs for the cat in your care.
