Dortmund areas that book the most
Petme house sitting bookings in Dortmund come from neighborhoods like Mitte, Kreuzviertel, Hörde. Owners book a sitter to stay at their home overnight while they travel, so the pets keep their own routine and the house stays occupied.
In Germany, anyone who cares for other people's pets for regular pay registers a small trade (Gewerbe) and declares the income on their tax return. House sitting happens in the owner's own home, so agree keys, access and the daily routine with them in writing before the first night.
