Why cat sitters choose Petme

Built for cat sitters

Other platforms take 20 to 40% of your earnings. Petme keeps a low service fee, adds cashback for your clients so they rebook, and protects every visit with CHF 20,000 in Protection Plan.

Cat-only is welcome

Plenty of Petme sitters offer drop-in cat visits and nothing else. No dog handling, no SKN, no large-breed permits. Just feeding, litter, and company on your route.

In-home, low overhead

You visit the cat in its own home, so you do not need space to host. Build a tight cluster of regular clients near where you live and turn it into steady weekly income.
