About house sitting in Helsinki

Helsinki offers a wonderful environment for pets, with over 80 dedicated dog parks and miles of waterfront trails along the Baltic Sea. Popular walking spots include Kaivopuisto Park, the forested paths of Keskuspuisto (Central Park), and the scenic shores of Seurasaari island. Petme connects you with verified local sitters who know these routes well.

From the leafy streets of Töölö to the vibrant cafes of Kallio, Helsinki neighborhoods each have their own character and pet-friendly culture. Sitters in Lauttasaari enjoy island walks, while those in Punavuori often take dogs along the Design District waterfront. The Protection Plan can contribute up to €20,000 toward eligible vet costs for total peace of mind.

Whether you need a dog walker for a morning run through Sibelius Park or a cat sitter while you explore the Suomenlinna fortress, Petme has trusted caregivers across all Helsinki districts. The city's excellent public transport and compact layout make it easy for sitters to reach your home quickly.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does a house sitter cost in Helsinki?
Overnight house sitting in Helsinki runs 36–62 € per night, depending on the number of pets, the length of the stay, and any plant or mail tasks. Mökki (cottage) stays often carry a small remote-location premium.
Does the sitter live in my home full-time?
Yes. Your sitter sleeps at your place, follows your pet's normal routine, and short outings are agreed in advance. Most house sits include feeding, walks, play, and a daily update.
What if my home has a smart lock or alarm?
Walk the sitter through it at the meet and greet. Many Finnish flats use coded entry; sitters keep codes confidential.
Can the sitter water plants and collect mail?
Yes. Add any household tasks to your booking notes. House sitters typically water plants, collect post, and rotate lights so the home looks lived-in.
Are house sitters in Helsinki verified?
Yes. Every sitter passes identity and background checks. The Petme Protection Plan can contribute up to 20,000 € toward eligible vet costs.
Is there a service fee for pet owners?
No. Petme charges pet owners 0% service fee. You only pay the sitter's rate, and you earn automatic cashback on every completed stay.
