About us

Finland's largest pet sitter network

Pethotel is a Finnish service that connects pet owners with animal-loving sitters. The service has over 1,000 pet sitters across Finland.

Our Mission

Cozy pet care from people who love pets

Pethotel is Finland's fastest-growing platform for pet care services. Founded in Helsinki in 2023, the service connects pet owners with animal-loving sitters — for one night or several weeks, in a homely environment and without upfront fees.

Whether it's a vacation, a long workday, an owner's illness, or a pet's separation anxiety — at Pethotel, you'll find a sitter for every need. We believe that pets are family members, and that's why we're building a service where every sitter is genuinely a pet lover and every booking is safe.
