Do I need any licences or permits to work as a petsitter?

Make sure to familiarise yourself with the regulations in the country where you plan to work as a petsitter. Rules can vary depending on the region or local authorities, so it’s important to check if there are any specific regulations concerning animal care in your area.

If you plan to run a larger operation, such as starting a business, you may need to meet standard requirements for business registration, obtain appropriate insurance, and comply with animal welfare regulations.

If you want to offer services as an independent pet carer, ensure that you follow the local laws. Animalhotels cannot provide legal advice. If you have any questions or are unsure how the regulations apply to you, it’s a good idea to seek legal or tax advice. You can also contact local authorities for more information.
