Finding care in Nijmegen

Care close to home in Nijmegen

Rates in Nijmegen are set by each sitter, not by a central price list, so two profiles in Altrade and Lindenholt can differ for the same nights. Read what is included, look at the reviews, and compare on the whole picture rather than on the lowest number.

The cashback maths

What you save on a typical booking

Worked example: a five-night dog boarding stay in Nijmegen 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

The typical platforms column stands for the market norm of billing the owner a service fee. On Petme that line is zero, so the saving is real before cashback is counted at all.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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 a sitter give my dog medication
Many sitters can, and it is worth asking in your first message. Write down the doses and the timings, then go through them at the meet and greet so nothing depends on memory. Sitters who have done it before usually say so on their profile.
what if I have to cancel my trip
Each sitter sets their own cancellation policy, and it is shown on their profile before you book. Read it while you are comparing sitters, because the terms differ from one person to the next. If your dates are likely to move, it is worth raising at the meet and greet too.
what does the 0% owner fee mean in practice
It means the sitter's rate is your whole bill. Typical platforms add a service fee for the owner at checkout, on top of what the sitter charges. Petme does not, so a five night stay costs five nights of the sitter's rate and nothing more.
do I have to be in the same neighbourhood as the sitter
No, but it usually helps. A sitter who lives near you in Nijmegen means a shorter handover, easier drop-ins and walks on streets your dog already knows. Profiles show where the sitter is based, so you can start with the ones closest to your address and widen out if you need to.
which services can I book in Nijmegen
Boarding at the sitter's home, house sitting at yours, daycare, dog walks and drop-in visits are all bookable in Nijmegen. 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.
