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 vet coverage.
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.
Protected on every visit
CHF 20,000 emergency vet coverage on every confirmed booking. You never carry the liability alone, even on a 20-minute drop-in.
