Love animals and live in Lyon? Become a SmartSitter and earn extra by caring for the dogs and cats of your neighbourhood — in Vieux-Lyon, the Croix-Rousse, Confluence or elsewhere. You choose your availability, set your rates, and home visits are enough. The app is free and, as a non-profit association, there is no commission on your sitting.
Introduce yourself, say whether you sit dogs, cats or both, and post your listing in Lyon.
Your availability, your rates, your areas: you decide everything, like a freelancer.
Owners nearby contact you. You accept what suits you and get paid directly.
Work whenever you want, as much as you want.
Home visits are enough — you drop by the owner's place to feed, walk and cuddle the pet.
The app stays free for active SmartSitters, and you keep 100% of your earnings.
You help Lyon neighbours, fight abandonment and grow your neighbourhood pack.
We operate everywhere in Lyon :
Lyon lends itself wonderfully to life with a pet: the banks of the Rhône and the Parc de la Tête d'Or offer kilometres of walking, while Confluence and the Parc de Gerland round things out on the south side.
From the slopes of the Croix-Rousse to the traboules of Vieux-Lyon, housing mixes old buildings and flats where many cats live. A Lyon SmartSitter knows the best routes for the weather — shaded riverbanks along the Saône in summer, sheltered parks in winter — and adapts visits and outings accordingly.
You remain free to set your prices. These ranges reflect the Lyon market in 2026.

It depends on your availability. With walks at 15–24 € and overnight stays at 28–45 €, a few jobs a week soon add up to a nice extra income.
