What owners see, and what you decide

Your card in search

Owners nearby find you on the map and in the list: your photo, your district, your services and the price you set. Your pin is rounded to about a kilometre, and your email is never shown.

Requests you decide on

A request brings the dates, the pet and the visits. Ask what you need in messages, then accept or decline. You also choose whether requests wait for your answer or are confirmed automatically.

A week that keeps to your hours

Mark the days and hours you work. Owners can only pick the days your calendar has open, so requests arrive when you can take them.

From sign-up to your first request

  1. Create your profile

    Sign up, name your city and district, and introduce yourself in a few sentences and a photo.

  2. Add services and rates

    Pick the services you offer — walks, boarding, visits — and set a rate for each. The price is yours.

  3. Mark your availability

    Tell the calendar which days and hours you work, so only requests that fit reach you.

  4. We check your documents by hand

    In Ukraine a profile goes live only after we check your document by hand. You are told the result either way.

  5. Go live and answer requests

    Once your document is approved, your profile appears in search. From then on owners see you: accept the requests that suit you and decline the rest.

Boarding at your home

The pet stays with you while the owner is away. You decide whom you take, and how many.

Home visits

Feed the cat, refresh the water, play a while — at the owner’s home, on a schedule.

What owners look for

A profile can also offer house sitting, day care and dog training.

Free while we start

Free
Every sitter feature is free. No card, no plan to choose.
No commission
Petlify takes no share of what owners pay you.
Paid directly
Payment for the service happens directly between the owner and the provider. Petlify does not process pet-care payments and does not provide payment protection at this stage.
The first sitters in Kyiv
We are starting in Kyiv and looking for the first sitters. We do not promise a volume of requests: it grows with the owners who join.

Questions new sitters ask

Do I need experience or a certificate?

No certificate is required. Describe your experience and the animals you are comfortable with in your profile — owners read it and decide.

How do I get paid?

Directly by the owner, in whatever way you agree. Petlify does not process payments for services and takes no commission. The prices owners see are estimates worked out from your own rates.

What is the document check?

Where your country requires it — Ukraine does — a person on our team checks your identity document by hand before your profile goes live. The files are stored privately and deleted after a set period.

Who sees my address?

Your exact address is not shown on your profile or in search. Owners see your district, and your pin is rounded to about a kilometre. Your email is never shown. What you share later in messages is up to you.

Can I choose which pets and requests I take?

Yes. Your profile says which animals and sizes you take, and every request is yours to accept or decline — unless you choose to confirm some automatically.

How soon can I go live?

As soon as your profile, at least one service with a rate and your availability are in. Where a document check is required, once it is approved.
