Make a shareable petsitter card in two minutes
Petset.Life turns your pet-sitting experience into one card you post on LinkedIn, Instagram or Bluesky. The people who already know you can find you, with no marketplace in between.

What is Petset.Life?
Petset.Life is a free tool for pet sitters. You go through six short steps and it builds a card with your photo, the animals you look after, the places you cover and a few lines about you.
You download the image or copy ready-made text, then post it to your own network. It is not a marketplace: there is no search page, no profile to keep up to date and no commission.
How it works

Add your name and a photo, then pick the animals you look after.
Add photos and places

Share your card
Pick a card style, download the image and post it with ready-made text for LinkedIn, Instagram or Bluesky.
Why I built this
Hi, I'm Phil. I work remotely, I travel light and I look after other people's pets.
- I found my last flat by dropping flyers in 30 mailboxes in one evening, after three months of searching platforms.
- Most of my pet-sitting jobs came by word of mouth, yet only a few of my friends and LinkedIn connections know I do it. Many of them have pets.
- So I built a tool that helps your network, and their networks, find you.
Why a card and not another platform
Your network does the work
Most sitting jobs come from people who already know you. The card makes it easy for them to remember what you do and pass it on.
No lock-in
Your data stays in your browser and you can export it any time. There is no account to close and no subscription to cancel.
Free to start
Making and sharing your card costs nothing. Supporters pay once, as much as they like, and the site says 25 percent of annual proceeds go to animal welfare charities.
You are the platform - we have the tools
Here is the thing: I am not a VC-backed startup - I am just a guy with a dream and a lot of passion for petsitting that wants to provide you with the toolkit to find your next pet sitting gig besides the big petsitting platforms. You can try them but I believe in the power of word of mouth and personal connections without intermediaries.
