Finding care in Almere

Care close to home in Almere

Most people in Almere live in flats with stairs, shared entrances and a neighbour on the other side of the wall. That is precisely why so many owners around Almere Buiten and Almere Haven book care at home: the pet stays on its own floor, in its own rooms, and nothing about the building changes.

The cashback maths

What you save on a typical booking

Worked example: a five-night dog boarding stay in Almere at 35 euro per night.

Fee-charging platformsPetme

Effective cost201-213 euro166 euro

Figures for typical platforms are representative rather than tied to any one company. What matters is the line that is missing on Petme: the owner service fee. Cashback lands on top once the stay is over.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

which services can I book in Almere
Boarding at the sitter's home, house sitting at yours, daycare, dog walks and drop-in visits are all bookable in Almere. Each sitter lists the services they offer on their profile, along with the rate for each one, so you can see straight away who covers what you need.
is Petme a website or an app
Both, with different jobs. You can read sitter profiles and city pages on the website, while messaging, booking and cashback all happen in the iOS and Android app. That keeps every message and every payment on one record you can go back to later.
can my cat stay at home instead of going to a cattery
Yes. A sitter comes to your flat for drop-in visits, feeds, refreshes the water, cleans the tray and spends time with the cat. Your cat never travels, never meets other animals, and keeps its own routine while you are away. You agree how many visits a day at the meet and greet.
can I meet the sitter before booking in Almere
Yes, and a meet and greet is free. It usually happens at your own address, so the sitter sees where the food is kept and how your pet behaves at home. Keys, feeding times and any medication go over at that meeting, and you book afterwards if it feels right.
how far ahead should I book a sitter in Almere
Earlier than feels necessary, especially around school holidays and long weekends when many Almere households travel in the same fortnight. Availability differs per sitter and per week, so message a few profiles rather than waiting on one reply to come back.
how does the cashback work
Cashback is credited to your in-app balance once a booking is completed. There is no opt-in and no code to enter. You spend the balance on a later booking, and it applies to anything you booked, whether that was a single walk or a fortnight of boarding.
