Detailed Review
Pet Matters B.V., trading as Petbnb, has its address at Andreasplein 1, 1058 GD Amsterdam. The imprint lists Chamber of Commerce number 63168251 and VAT number NL855121439B01, and the privacy policy says the same company runs Petbnb.nl, Petbnb.de, Petbnb.be and the app.
The Dutch home page shows 4,993 sitters in the Netherlands and a rating of 5.0 from 53,084 reviews. These are the vendor's own figures, and we could not check them independently.
Services for owners
Petbnb lists boarding at the sitter's home, daycare, house sitting, dog walking, dog sitting, cat sitting and general pet sitting. Owners search by service, location, date and number of pets, or post a request and wait for replies from sitters.
The home page promises a free introduction before booking, and says Petbnb arranges payments, insurance and round-the-clock support.
Sitters and training
There is a separate sitter side with job listings for dog, cat and house sitters across the Netherlands, and a Training entry in the navigation. The sitter agreement is published next to the general terms.
The pages we read do not show how much commission sitters pay, nor the insurance cover limits, so those need checking in the sitter flow.
Petbnb compared with Rover
Rover covers far more countries and cities, and it offers day care and walking in the same app. Petbnb covers three countries and publishes terms in Dutch and English.
For a Dutch owner the difference is the contracting party: Pet Matters B.V. under Dutch registration, not a Delaware company.
Limitations to Consider
Fees, insurance limits and hosting are not shown in the text we read. Petbnb works in three countries only, and the parent company of Pet Matters B.V. is not stated on the pages we read. For a French option compare Animaute.
Who Should Use Petbnb
Owners in the Netherlands, Belgium or Germany who want a review-driven marketplace with a free first meeting and local sitters.
