Local know-how pays off in Dresden
Dresden combines dense Gründerzeit districts with a strong travel culture, and the Saxon calendar adds a winter break few other states have. A house sitter covers those weeks in the owner's own flat, which is what most Dresden households prefer to boarding.

Dresden areas that book the most
Petme house sitting bookings in Dresden come from neighborhoods like Innere Altstadt, Neustadt, Striesen. 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.

What does house sitting involve?
You stay in the owner's home and keep their pet's routine: feeding, walks, play, and company overnight, plus basics like mail and plants if asked. Owners book it so their pet stays in familiar surroundings while they travel.
How do I keep walking dogs through a Dresden winter with so little daylight?
Winter is one of the busiest stretches, not a pause. In Dresden that means fitting what you can inside the daylight window and using a light and a reflective harness for the rest, gripped soles on gritted pavements, shorter routes for small or short-coated dogs on the coldest days, and wiping grit and road salt off paws before handover. Owners see who is still turning up in February, and those are the walkers they rebook.
