Awesome Petbacker!

I have been a pet sitter and booked cares from Petbacker up todate, they have never comprised their quality of services, always 100% top. I highly recommend any pet parents to use Petbacker for a trustable service for their loved furbabies.

Worst nightmare come true

We'd never used PetBacker before and found someone who had a lot of positive reviews. We received photos every day of our trip, up until the last day, when the Petbacker called us to tell us that our beautiful boy had died.
On the platform, our Petbacker stated that pets are never left unattended, but this happened when they had left the house. Furthermore, she lied about what had happened: that he broke his neck jumping out the window. The vet told us that he'd been mauled by her dog.

The despicable part is that Petbacker told us they'd permanently blacklist her from the platform.
Lo and behold, I checked to make sure - it's been 2 months since it happened, and she's taken on more bookings - as short as 2 weeks after our dog died in her care.

I guess the reviews and trust just absolutely cannot be trusted - apparently PetBacker sweeps gross negligence under the rug and lets people continue booking with PetBackers without giving them the full picture.

Absolutely despicable.

PetBacker app is amazing

PetBacker app is amazing! I just started using it in Austria. There seems to be a big enough community and I've gotten a lot of responses to my requests for dog walking and sitting.

The app has built-in features that work like a charm. From the chat, the request and booking service, the safe payment system, and even the cancellation. All work very good and make total sense!

Excellent support team

Excellent support team. Problems may occur by human errors but the staff is always there to assist. As a user who has stayed on the app for a year, I’m never disappointed.

Great enough UX/UI.

Great enough UX/UI.
With the map to estimate the location.
Some problem with didn’t get the notification from the chat.
And quite high percentage was taken off from the payment.

Horrible people it’s been 2 weeks no payment

Horrible people it’s been 2 weeks no money yet for providing my services of pet sitting and I keep hearing oh we have to wait to hear back from finance regarding sending my money to my PayPal account and that they have to wait to hear from management and don’t say anything for days and won’t send my money and I haven’t been able to get my cats more litter or pay my other bills and it’ll almost be 3 weeks of still no money. Very evil people and don’t care to give people their money and I even explained multiple times that the owner hasn’t responded since Two months ago and that they won’t respond and they insist on waiting to hear from the owner when they know the owner hasn’t said anything since June 10 2025,its now August 14th. They still don’t respond and won’t give me my money I earned which is 809.01 and then they’ll probably delay my last payment as well which is wrong. I definitely won’t use it again after this and I’ll pay to sign up on rover instead

Good one

I have no issues with the app, works great… there are many pet sitters in my region, which is crucial for a reliable XP with the service. Much better than leaving your pet at a pet hotel

The app works really great

The app works really great, it's safe and I'm glad to be a part of their community. The only thing that I'd like to see improved is the quotes system, because for some jobs, like day care, it would br great if I could know how much time I will be providing the service and ajust the price accordingly! Other than that, I'm really happy with it!
