Built in Belgium
Built in Belgium for independent pet sitters everywhere. Run your business in your own country, with your own clients and rates.
Your clients. Your prices. Your business.
The Pet Sitter is built on a simple principle: the business you build here belongs to you.
Your clients
Your clients' contact details and the relationships you build with them are yours.
Your prices
You set every rate for every service you offer. No platform pricing rules, no fees added on top.
Your reputation
Keep your reputation with your business: booking reviews sit alongside clearly labelled imported reviews, checked by a person against the source.
Your business
Tools that work for you, not a platform that taxes you. Everything is built to help you run a better business.
We grow by helping your business grow.
A repeat booking should strengthen your business without adding another platform fee. Keep the client relationship, set your own rates and use the tools that make your next booking easier.
Commission platforms
Costs scale with your success
- A percentage of every booking goes to the platform
- The more you earn, the more you pay

What commission platforms take
| Platform | Every week | Every month | Every year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rover / Mad Paws(20% commission) | -€80 | -€347 | -€4,160 |
| Pawshake(19% commission) | -€76 | -€329 | -€3,952 |
| Floofers(10% commission) | -€40 | -€173 | -€2,080 |
| The Pet Sitter(0% commission) | €0 | €0 | €0 |
Rover and Mad Paws also charge pet owners a booking fee on top of these deductions, and Pawshake adds a service fee in some regions — owners pay more while sitters still receive less. The Pet Sitter charges neither side of a booking.
A note from the founder
I spent years at Pawshake, one of Europe's largest pet sitting marketplaces, where I led product and engineering and built the systems sitters and owners relied on every day — search, bookings, payments, and trust and safety. I went on to found ModerateKit, a trust and safety platform acquired by Gainsight.
I want the business you build to stay yours: your clients, your reputation and your earnings. That is why The Pet Sitter is now free. Use it to organise your work, keep the conversations that suit your clients, and spend more time on the pets in your care.

Human review before search-engine indexing
We would rather grow slowly than compromise on trust. Every new profile must pass our manual profile review before it can become eligible for search-engine indexing.
Separate trust signals
A Verified Sitter badge means the profile was manually reviewed and approved. Identity, police-check, and insurance badges are separate and appear only after their own evidence review.
Reviewed by a human
Before a profile can appear in search results or carry the Verified Sitter badge, a person on our team reads its photos and bio and approves it. A sitter can share their own booking link before that — that page carries no badge and is not indexed.
Clear profile badges
Each badge says exactly what it represents, from profile approval to separately reviewed credentials and sitter-declared care specialties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Nothing. The Pet Sitter is completely free for pet owners. You only pay the sitter's rate directly — no booking fees, no service charges.
We charge no subscription or booking commission. Your clients pay you directly at the rate you agree. If you use a payment provider, its own fees may still apply.
Every profile that appears in search results, or that we present as verified, has been reviewed and approved by a person on our team. Approved profiles receive the Verified Sitter badge. A sitter can share their own booking link before requesting that review — such a page carries no badge and is not indexed. Identity, police-check, and insurance badges are separate and appear only after the relevant evidence review.
Pet boarding (overnight care at a sitter's home or premises), house sitting (the sitter stays at your home), drop-in visits, dog walking, dog daycare (daytime care at a sitter's home or premises), and grooming.
Yes. The software is free to use worldwide. Sitters can share their profile and booking links with their own clients wherever they work. Public sitter search is coming soon; owners can already book through a link their sitter shares.
