Get paid to run a doggy daycare across Ireland
Typically €16 to €45 per dog per day. Host dogs through the working day while owners commute, set your own headcount and hours, and keep up to 90%.
Daycare is the service that repeats. Commuting owners book the same days every week, so a small regular group fills your calendar without starting from zero each month.
A flexible job you run around your life
This is in-person work, but you control it like your own business: your hours, your clients, your rate. Fit it around a day job, studies, or other gigs across Ireland.
Daytime hours, evenings free
Drop-off before work, pick-up after. Unlike overnight boarding the dogs go home at the end of the day, so your evenings and your own space stay yours.
Self-employed, in control
You set your day rate, your open days, and how many dogs you take at once. No rostered shifts and no minimum hours, just the bookings that suit your week.
Income that repeats weekly
Daycare clients are commuters, so the same dogs come back on the same days. A handful of regulars turns into predictable weekly income rather than one-off bookings.
Earn on your terms, keep up to 90%
No shift rosters, no platform-set pricing, no minimum hours. You control the rate, the work, and the schedule, and the Protection Plan can contribute up to €20,000 toward eligible vet costs.
€16 to €45 per day
Typical day rates across Ireland, with Dublin and the commuter towns at the upper end. You set the rate and the headcount, and you keep up to 90%.
Stay local, stay full
Daycare works best near the owners who pass you on the commute. Pick the neighbourhoods you cover and build a small round of regulars close to home.
€20,000 Protection Plan
The Petme Protection Plan can contribute up to €20,000 toward eligible vet costs for the dog in your care. 0% for owners.
Built for Irish sitters and walkers
Owner cashback keeps your clients rebooking, your social profile gets you found, and fast 2-day payouts mean you are paid soon after each booking, and owners have a Protection Plan of up to €20,000 for eligible vet costs.
Your rate, your headcount
You set the day rate and decide how many dogs your space genuinely suits. No platform-dictated pricing, and you keep up to 90% per booking.
Weekly regulars, not one-offs
Owners rebook the host their dog already knows, and they earn cashback on every booking too, so one happy client can become a standing weekday slot.
A profile that gets you found
Petme is social, not just a directory. Post the daycare day to a feed Irish pet parents follow, so owners book the real person behind the profile.
