While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Safe and convenient

It is a safe and convenient mean to find a pet sister. Everything can be arranged through the app, including the payment which is very convenient. I even managed to modify my booking for a shorter stay and got reimbursed for those days. The app itself can use some work to work smoother. Overall very satisfied

Withdrawal issues

Always have withdrawal issues with Petbacker. They took payment at booking, even before service start. Singapore has paynow which is instant. Please upgrade your system. Finance department people definitely not working hard enough.

Another useless app that feels like a scam to steal from the peanuts that pet sitters earn..They charge huge commission and on top of that asks for criminal record, ID, do several tests, verify phone, email, Facebook, Google, asks for certifications, business licence and police clearance.

Excellent professional support and high security standards

I am very satisfied with the assistance provided by Maria from the support team. She has been incredibly professional and thorough during my verification process. I appreciate how seriously PetBacker takes security, as it ensures a trustworthy environment for both sitters and pet parents. Maria guided me clearly through the document requirements and helped me get my listing approved quickly. Excellent customer service!

Good app to find petsitter

If you follow the rules of the app its a very good and safe way to find a petsitter for your pet. At first, the app is a bit complicated to use. I get quite a lot offers to petsit other people's dogs, and so far I just had very good clients. Payment is very fast and worked perfectly to my Revolut. If you want to upgrade something, then its the apps design and usability.
Sad that so many people left a bad review, because they got a bad experience with the petsitter. This Trustpilot is about the app!!!

I hesitated to give my email

I hesitated to give my email. I have been spammed crazily since and I cannot unsubscribe. I deleted my account after one week. Great idea but it didn't work for me and I didn't use it after. It was just for once.
