The work permit
Check your permit before your first paid visit
Foreign nationals need a work permit to work in Turkey: Article 6(2) of the International Labour Law (No. 6735) prohibits foreigners covered by the law from working without one. Self-employed work is covered by an independent work permit (bağımsız çalışma izni). People exempted by other laws or treaties are not covered, so check your own status with the Ministry of Labour and Social Security before you take paid bookings.
Trust
ID checks and the Petme Protection Plan
Every sitter passes ID verification and a background check before the first booking. Owners hand over a key, so this matters more for cat visits than for most pet services.
The Petme Protection Plan can contribute up to ₺100.000 toward eligible vet costs that arise during a booked service, subject to its terms.
Language
English works, Turkish reaches more owners
