Why do I need to register?
You are required to register as this enables you to create a profile yourself and either look for a petsitter or for a job. The registration process is also important for the safety of the individuals involved.
I have registered but have not received an activation e-mail. What do I need to do?
- The e-mail may be in your spam folder. Look in your e-mail account's spam folder and mark the e-mail as "Not spam".
- You may have entered your e-mail address incorrectly during the registration process and the e-mail may have been returned to us. Register again and look out for typos!
Is the service subject to a fee?
There are free and fee-based services:
- For petsitter, the service is always free of charge.
- Pet owners can also register for free in order to gain a picture of the available pet sitters. Any subsequent contact is subject to a fee.
Will my data be forwarded to third parties?
Why is nobody answering my advertisement?
How complete your profile is can often be the decisive factor. The more complete your profile is, the greater the chance that somebody will contact you.
- Upload a photograph
- Fill in your profile to the greatest extent possible
- Provide more detailed information about yourself and the position to be filled
We also recommend that you answer advertisements yourself.
