WHO THIS PAGE IS FOR

Expat-friendly pet sitting across Sweden

The international community is concentrated in Stockholm, Göteborg, Malmö, Lund (the international research community), and Uppsala. Most have professional jobs and pets brought from their home countries. Finding a pet sitter who speaks English, understands expat circumstances (frequent travel, unfamiliar with local norms), and can communicate via WhatsApp or text in English is a recurring need.

On Petme, you can filter sitter profiles by English fluency. English is widely spoken in Sweden. Most active Petme sitters in major Swedish cities speak English well, especially in student towns (Lund, Uppsala) and corporate hubs (Stockholm).

For expats new to Sweden, Petme also offers 24/7 customer support in English. ID verification of sitters means you have the same identity assurance Swedish residents do. The Protection Plan can contribute up to 221,000 kr toward eligible vet costs. The whole interaction (booking, chat, payment, dispute resolution if needed) can happen entirely in English.
