Earn money as a pet sitter
Woof connects you with pet owners near you who need a hand with their animals — a walk, a drop-in visit, or a whole week of overnight care. You decide which animals you take, what you offer, when, and at what price.
What you earn
You set your own prices. This is what active Woof sitters charge today, and what you keep once the fee comes off.
Woof takes 15% of each booking. You always see what you get before you accept.

Which animals can you look after?
You choose species by species, and set your own prices for each. Most people start with dogs, because that is where demand is highest.
Dogs
The biggest demand and most of the bookings on Woof: overnight stays, day care, walks and drop-in visits.

Usually drop-in visits or care in the cat's own home. Few sitters offer it today, so you stand out quickly.

Rabbits, rodents, birds and reptiles. Short visits that are easy to fit around other things.
Horses
Needs real experience and usually access to a stable — but almost nobody offers it.
Questions about sitting on Woof
Do I need experience?
No formal qualifications are needed, but owners read your bio and reviews carefully. Say what experience you have with animals, including your own pets.
Can I do this alongside a job or studies?
Yes. You choose which services to offer and when you are available, so walks and drop-in visits fit around other commitments.
How do I get paid?
Owners pay through Woof. After the booking the money is credited to your Woof wallet and paid out to your bank account.
What can I offer?
Overnight stays, sitting in the owner's home, drop-in visits, walks, day care, grooming, training and pet taxi — for the kinds of animals you are comfortable with.
Where do I need to live?
Anywhere in Sweden. Demand is highest in Stockholm, Göteborg and Malmö, but owners everywhere are looking, and a town without sitters yet is your chance to be the first.
Do I need the app?
You can create your profile and manage bookings on the website. The app notifies you the moment a request comes in.
