Questions from pet owners

  • No personal details such as last names, telephone numbers, addresses or e-mail addresses are published.
  • Inappropriate content can be reported to us via the corresponding link.
No, unlike with other providers there are no subscription traps with us. When your fee-based premium membership expires, it will automatically be converted into a free basic membership. No additional fees will be charged.
It is only possible for pet owners to contact pet sitters and vice versa. You may possibly have mistakenly registered as a pet sitter instead of as a pet owner.
Try again by changing the criteria for your search. For example, enter a higher value for the maximum distance.
In this case, please delete your account and re-register as a pet owner.
