Get paid to house sit and mind pets in Ireland
Typically €32 to €60 per night. Stay in the owner home and keep their pets settled in familiar surroundings while they travel. Set your own rates and keep up to 90%.
House sitting suits pets that do best in their own space, and sitters who like a change of scene. You stay over, the pets stay home.
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.
Sit on the dates that suit you
Take the stays that fit your calendar, from a single night to a fortnight of holiday cover. Open and close your availability as your own plans change. No obligation to accept every request.
Self-employed, in control
You set your own nightly rate, pick the homes and pets you take on, and answer to the owner, not a manager. No rostered shifts, no minimum bookings, just the stays you choose.
Pair it with sitting and walks
Many Irish house sitters mix overnight stays with drop-in visits, daycare, and walks between bookings, building a fuller week of pet-care income.
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.
€32 to €60 per night
Typical house-sitting rates across Ireland, with Dublin at the upper end. Multi-night holiday stays add up quickly. You set your own nightly rate, and you keep up to 90%.
Stay in the owner home
You care for pets in their own surroundings, which suits anxious dogs, older pets, and cats that hate change. You also keep the home lived-in, watered, and secure while owners are away.
Protection Plan up to €20,000
The Protection Plan can contribute up to €20,000 toward eligible vet costs for the pet 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.
Higher-rate overnight bookings
House sitting is the higher-rate, overnight end of pet care. You set the nightly rate, and you keep up to 90% per booking, more than most Irish platforms leave you with.
Holiday-season regulars
Owners rebook the house sitter their pets already trust, especially around school holidays and Christmas. Owners earn cashback too, so a good first stay often becomes recurring cover.
A profile that gets you found
Petme is social, not just a directory. Post your stays to a feed Irish pet parents follow, so owners book the real person behind the profile. Active sitters get found and rebooked far more often.
