Flexible work

The shortest form of pet care on Petme

You arrive at the cat's home, run the routine the owner agreed, and move on. That is why cat sitting fits around a job, studies, or other work in a way overnight care does not.

Short visits around your day

A cat visit is quick, so it fits before or after work. There are no fixed shifts and nobody handing you hours.

Self-employed, not shift work

You pick every booking, set your own rates, and answer to the owner rather than a manager. Cat sitting runs as your own small business.

Regulars come back

Cat owners return to whoever they already trusted with their keys. A handful of reliable relationships turns into income that repeats every holiday.

Working the Swedish year

When Swedish owners book a cat sitter

Demand peaks around Midsummer and through July, when much of the country travels at once, and again over the Christmas break. Cats stay home rather than travelling with the family, so those are exactly the weeks a visiting sitter is needed. Through the long dark winter the job is as much about the house as the cat: heating still running, water bowl away from a drafty window, routine unchanged, and careful footing on icy steps.

FAQ

Cat sitting work in Sweden

What new sitters ask before joining Petme.

How much do cat sitters earn per visit in Sweden?

Cat sitting on Petme pays 150 kr to 220 kr per visit, and a typical cat visit runs 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the city and what the routine involves. You set your own rate, and you keep up to 90% of every booking. Rates sit at the top of that range in Stockholm and Gothenburg.

What does a single cat visit involve?

Feeding, fresh water, a litter change, some play, and a check that the cat is doing fine. After each visit you send the owner a photo and a short message in the app chat, so they can follow along while they are away.

Do I need my own space to sit cats?

No. Cats are looked after in their own home, so you visit rather than host. That means no spare room, no garden, and no equipment of your own. What matters is turning up reliably at the times you agreed with the owner.

Can I fit cat visits around a job or studies?

Yes. A visit is short, so it schedules before or after work, which is why cat sitting suits people with other commitments. You accept or decline every request individually, and you can pause your profile whenever you need a break.

What do I need to start cat sitting in Sweden?

You need to be 18 or over and every sitter passes identity verification before taking bookings. Owners then look at your profile, your reviews, and how the meet and greet goes, so time spent with your own or friends' cats is worth mentioning there.

When is cat sitting demand highest in Sweden?

Requests peak around Midsummer and through July, when much of the country travels at once, and again over the Christmas break. Cats stay home rather than travelling with the family, so those are the weeks owners need a visiting sitter most.

What does the Protection Plan offer?

The Petme Protection Plan can contribute up to 221,000 kr toward eligible vet costs for the cat in your care. Payouts for completed bookings reach your account in about two business days.

Do I need to speak Swedish to sit cats here?

No. Most Swedish owners speak strong English, and Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmo, Uppsala and Lund all have owners who book in English. Many owners still write in Swedish, so mentioning both languages in your profile helps you book faster.
