Becoming a Pet Sitter: Your Journey Starts Here

Join a small, curated circle of Gothenburg sitters who welcome pets into their homes as family.

Pure heart, free to join

Joining Pet Lounge is free, with no signup fees or hidden charges. You set your own prices, and Pet Lounge takes a service fee on completed bookings, as set out in the sitter agreement. We handle the platform and the reach so you can focus on what truly matters: the caring.

Your business, your way

As a pet sitter, you have the freedom to design a work-life balance that fits you. You have total control to choose your own schedule.

Welcome your new furry friends

Once your pet sitter profile is live, you can start connecting with our community. You will have the opportunity to message pet parents to get to know them and their pets before any booking begins.

Where passion meets premium care

Join Our Premium Circle of Pet Care

At Pet Lounge, we welcome pets into our homes as family. We have built a reputation for providing a cozy, safe, and premium "home-away-from-home" experience.

We are looking for a small, amazing circle of sitters who truly get it. If you believe that pet care should be premium, personal, and full of heart, you are in the right place!

Why you will love being with the Pet Lounge family

A curated reputation

You are not just another profile in a long list. Every application is reviewed personally before a sitter can take bookings.

Total support

We are always here to support and guide you. You are never alone in your care journey.

Growth & community

We host monthly meetings to discuss experiences, solve hardships together, and increase our collective awareness of pet health and behavior.

Personal onboarding

We meet every sitter personally to ensure you feel confident and prepared.

The Pet Lounge welcome pack

Once you are officially part of the team, we will drop off a Pet Lounge Starter Bag filled with our favorite essentials, so you are fully prepared for your first furry visitor!

Premium clients

Work with dedicated pet parents who value your expertise.
