FAQ

Expat questions about pet sitting in Copenhagen

Do I need a CPR number to book a pet sitter on Petme?
No. You can sign up with your email and a card from your home country. Booking, paying, and messaging sitters do not require a CPR number, which makes Petme practical for expats in their first months in Copenhagen.
Do Copenhagen sitters speak English?
Most do. Denmark consistently ranks among the highest English-fluency countries in Europe, and almost every sitter in Copenhagen lists English as a spoken language. The sitter's languages are shown on the profile, so you can filter for English at search time.
How does the 150,000 kr vet protection work for expats?
Every booking includes up to 150,000 kr in vet expenses at any licensed Danish vet clinic during the booking period. There is no deductible. You do not need a Danish insurance policy or a CPR-linked address to be covered. Open a ticket from the booking and we handle the claim.
I am moving to Copenhagen with my dog. Can I book before I arrive?
Yes. Create your Petme account from anywhere, set your move-in date, and message Copenhagen sitters in advance. Many expats arrange a meet and greet for the week they arrive, so the sitter knows the dog before the first booking.
I live in a Copenhagen apartment building with an intercom. Can the sitter still get in?
Yes. Most expats in Copenhagen apartments arrange either a key handover at the meet and greet or a temporary key from the ejendomsservice. Walk the sitter through the building once and the rest is routine.
Are there sitters who handle cats while I am out of town?
Yes. Copenhagen has a strong network of cat-specialist sitters who do drop-in visits. A typical visit covers feeding, fresh water, litter, play, and a photo update before the sitter leaves. Most owners book one or two visits per day.
How does payment work without a Danish bank account?
Petme takes payment by international debit and credit card in your account currency, converted to DKK on the platform. You do not need MobilePay, a Danish bank account, or a CPR to pay.
What if my dog has a vet emergency on the weekend?
Copenhagen has out-of-hours emergency providers (Dyrlægevagten, Universitetshospitalet for Mindre Husdyr) that accept walk-ins on weekends. The 150,000 kr Petme vet protection covers emergency care just like routine visits, with no deductible.
