Dog walking jobs in Istanbul, from Kadıköy to Beşiktaş, on your own schedule
Owners in Istanbul pay 300-500 TL per 30 to 60 minute walk today. On Petme you set your own price, pick the districts you cover and post your walks to a feed that nearby owners see first.
You set the days, the price and the area in Istanbul; you apply in the Petme app.
Your work shows up in the feed, not in a job ad
Petme has its own feed. Instead of bidding on jobs one by one, you post the walks you do; owners nearby see them and get in touch.

People nearby see you first
The home feed puts posts from people nearby first. Owners like them, follow you and open your profile.

Your services, price and area sit on your profile, and owners message you in the app chat.
What to know about Istanbul
Three short notes before you open a profile in Istanbul: the holidays, the summer heat and the districts.
Bayram and the summer break
Ramazan Bayramı and Kurban Bayramı are official holidays, and schools close in late June until September. Owners travel in those weeks, so you can open only those dates if you like.
Summer heat
Istanbul is the mild end of Turkey in summer: the July average high is 28 °C (MGM, 1991-2020). Midday pavement still gets hot, so keep water with you on longer walks.
Districts and your area
Your profile says where you work: Kadıköy, Beşiktaş, Üsküdar or another area near you. A small area keeps the travel between walks short.
Market prices for dog walking in Istanbul
These are the prices owners in Turkey pay for the service today, not Petme earnings data. Each walk is priced on its own, and monthly income depends on how many owners book you again. You set your own price.

Districts of Istanbul you can cover
You can work in districts like Kadıköy, Beşiktaş and Üsküdar, or any area close to you. Accept the requests that fit your week and turn down the rest.
How it differs from answering one job ad at a time
Your price and your calendar
You choose the service, the dogs you accept, the area and your price. You also decide which days you are free in Istanbul.
Paid in the app, address in the chat
The owner pays in the Petme app and the address is shared only in the chat, so you never ask anyone for cash at the door.
ID and background checks
Every sitter passes ID verification and a background check, so owners know who they are handing their dog to.
Petme Protection Plan
The Petme Protection Plan can contribute up to ₺100.000 toward eligible vet costs that arise during a booked service, subject to its terms. If something goes wrong on a walk, the vet bill is not left to a verbal agreement.
