PetBacker: Dog Cat Pet Sitting

I really like the core service and I’ve had great experiences with multiple sitters. But the app itself and process can be painful - it was really challenging just to be able to log in ; and even the process of paying petbackers id confusing and annoying - even when the item is “completed”, the petbscker doesn’t get paid until a review is submitted, which is both hard to know and frankly inappropriate. So I’ll keep using the app because of the service; but the app and process are definitely confusing and often hard to navigate.

I’ve been looking for work on Petbacker. I completed all the qualifications weeks ago. I’ve been Housesitting and dog sitting for other companies in the past and this app only gets a few leads once every couple of weeks and the actual requests don’t seem to be professional or legitimate. They want you to call them on their personal phone and it seems to be a fake number and don’t follow up through the app. I’ve received no confident inquiries and it seems to be a waste of time and energy.

PetBacker has been an absolute lifesaver while traveling! The app is incredibly easy to use, intuitive, and made finding a trustworthy pet sitter in a new city completely stress-free. We were able to connect with an amazing sitter quickly, and the entire process—from browsing profiles to booking and communication—was seamless. The messaging feature made it easy to stay in touch and receive updates, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away from our dogs. What really stands out is the quality of caregivers on the platform. You can tell there’s a strong community of people who genuinely love animals and take their responsibility seriously. If you’re traveling or just need reliable pet care, PetBacker is a fantastic app. We will absolutely be using it ag
