Finding care in Amsterdam

Care close to home in Amsterdam

Some Amsterdam addresses are a ground floor with a garden, others four flights up with a bike in the hall. Practical detail decides good pet care here: who can reach Oud-West or Jordaan quickly, who can manage the stairs with a nervous dog, and who is genuinely free on your dates.

The cashback maths

What you save on a typical booking

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

Fee-charging platformsPetme
Sitter rate (5 nights × 35 euro)175 euro175 euro
Pet-owner service fee26-38 euro0 euro
Booking subtotal201-213 euro175 euro
Cashback earned on Petme--9 euro
Effective cost201-213 euro166 euro

Typical platforms add their owner fee to the sitter's rate, which is why a cheaper looking profile can end up costing more. Petme leaves the rate alone and credits cashback after the booking.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

which services can I book in Amsterdam
Boarding at the sitter's home, house sitting at yours, daycare, dog walks and drop-in visits are all bookable in Amsterdam. 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.
are sitters in Amsterdam actually checked
Yes. Every sitter passes identity verification and a background check before their profile goes live. On top of that you get a free meet and greet, so you can see how the sitter is with your pet and ask about their experience before you hand over a key.
what happens if my pet gets ill during a booking
The Petme Protection Plan can contribute up to 20,000 euro toward eligible vet costs. Agree with your sitter beforehand which vet to use and leave the clinic details with them in the chat. The plan can apply to a single drop-in visit and to a two week stay alike.
what does a pet sitter cost in Amsterdam
Sitters set their own rates, and in Amsterdam boarding usually falls between 25 and 50 euro a night while drop-in visits run about 12 to 22 euro. The rate you see on the profile is the amount you pay, because owners pay no service fee on Petme. Cashback is credited to your balance after the booking finishes.
how far ahead should I book a sitter in Amsterdam
Earlier than feels necessary, especially around school holidays and long weekends when many Amsterdam 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.
