Do I need a licence or permissions to work as a pet sitter?

Familiarise yourself with the regulations in the country where you plan to work as a pet sitter. Laws can vary depending on the region or local authorities, thus it’s important to check if there are any specific rules regarding pet care in your area.

If you plan to operate on a larger scale, such as setting up a business, you may need to meet standard requirements, including registering your business, obtaining appropriate insurance and adhering to animal welfare regulations.

If you want to provide services as an independent pet sitter, make sure you comply with local laws. Animalhotels cannot provide legal advice. If you have questions or are unsure how the regulations might apply to you, seeking legal or tax advice is a good idea. You can also consult local officials for guidance.
