Trade licence + tax

Trade licence, OSVČ, and tax

Trade licence

In the Czech Republic, regular pet sitting income usually requires a živnostenský list (trade licence). Pet sitting is a free trade (volná živnost), no exam or schooling required. You register at any živnostenský úřad for about 1,000 CZK. As an OSVČ you can use the paušální daň flat-tax scheme up to 2 million CZK in annual income, or the 60% expense lump sum with an annual filing at the finanční úřad.

Deduct expenses

Poop bags, leashes, mileage for sittings, a share of your phone bill, and pet first-aid courses are classic deductions. Keep receipts; the paušální daň scheme or a tax advisor makes filing simple.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does a Petme sitter earn in Havířov?

What are the busiest cities for pet sitting in the Czech Republic?
Prague dominates by booking volume, followed by Brno, Ostrava, and Plzeň. Liberec, Hradec Králové, and Olomouc are smaller but reliable, especially during summer holidays and Christmas.
Do I need a trade licence for pet sitting in the Czech Republic?
For regular pet sitting income, yes. Pet sitting falls under volné živnosti (unregulated free trades), so no exam or schooling is required. You register at any živnostenský úřad (trade authority) and pay around 1,000 CZK for the licence.
How do I declare pet sitting income for tax in the Czech Republic?
As an OSVČ (self-employed person) you can use the paušální daň flat-tax scheme up to 2 million CZK in annual income: one monthly payment covers income tax, social security, and health insurance. Alternatively use the 60% expense lump sum and file annually with the finanční úřad.
How does pet sitting in the Czech Republic compare to gig delivery work?
Wolt and Foodora couriers in Prague clear roughly 150–220 CZK per hour after costs. Petme pet sitting in Prague effectively clears 200–320 CZK per hour, with overnight boarding pushing the average higher.
When is the busiest season for pet sitters in the Czech Republic?
The July–August summer holidays, Christmas to New Year, jarní prázdniny (the regional spring break in February–March), and Easter drive the main peaks. Wenceslas Day and the autumn long weekends add steady bumps.
Is pet sitting more profitable than retail or service jobs in the Czech Republic?
For most sitters, yes. Czech minimum wage in 2026 sits around 120 CZK per hour gross; retail and hospitality typically clear 130–180 CZK per hour. Petme dog walkers in Prague clear 200–320 CZK per hour effectively, and boarders earn higher.
How does pet sitting in the Czech Republic differ from Germany or Austria?
Rates in CZK are lower than in euros, but living costs are too. Czech sitters report deep repeat-client relationships and longer multi-week summer boardings as second-home owners head to Croatia. The Czech trade licence is faster and cheaper to set up than Austria's Gewerbeschein.
What is it like sitting for popular Czech dog breeds?
Czech Petme bookings tilt heavily toward German shepherds, Border collies, Labradors, Dachshunds, French bulldogs, and the Czechoslovakian wolfdog. Working breeds want serious off-leash exercise. Frenchies need cool indoor space in summer. Dachshunds need stair protection.
Is there a Petme sitter community in the Czech Republic?
Yes: Prague has an active sitter WhatsApp group; Brno, Olomouc, and Ostrava have smaller ones. We connect you after approval.
What is one thing Czech sitters wish they knew before starting?
"Do not undersell yourself in the first month. Czech owners pay for trust, not for the lowest rate. Set your price where you want it in year two, not at signup." (Tereza H., Prague)
