Best pet sitting apps in Sweden compared

Owner fee, sitter pay, insurance, verification

The Swedish pet sitting market is more competitive than most people realize. Pawshake was early on .se. Rover and Gudog are both part of the same global parent. Woof is a Swedish startup with a 0% sitter-side model. TrustedHousesitters works on annual subscription. Petme combines 0 percent owner fee with smaller-than-average sitter share.

The most useful comparison axes are: what the platform adds to your checkout (owner fee, typically 11-20% on Rover/Gudog), what it takes from the sitter (15-20% standard, 10% on Petme, 0% on Woof), and what insurance is included (€20,000 explicit on Petme, harder to pin down on others). Verification methods differ too: BankID is the Swedish standard, used by Petme; international platforms often use lighter ID checks.

For most Swedish residents, the practical question is which platform has good sitters in your specific city. Pawshake has the deepest historical penetration. Rover/Gudog is growing. Petme is newer in Sweden but built on a 0% owner fee model that's economically better for frequent bookers. Comparing actual prices at checkout on 2-3 platforms before committing is recommended.
