FAQ

What is Nomador?

Nomador is a community platform that connects Hosts — pet owners looking for pet care — with Sitters, to arrange care for both pets and home during an absence.

The idea is simple: a member of the community comes to look after the animals and the home, in exchange for accommodation.

Beyond the concept, Nomador is built on strong values: trust, sharing, and a love of animals. Connections develop at your own pace, thanks to detailed profiles, recommendations, and reviews left after each stay.

With members across the globe, the Nomador community makes it possible to arrange pet sitting and meet new people anywhere in the world, in a reassuring and transparent setting.

How does pet sitting work on Nomador?

It works in four steps:

  1. The Host publishes a listing with their dates away, a description of their home, their pets, and what they're looking for.
  2. Sitters get in touch to express their interest, introduce themselves, and discuss the stay.
  3. The Host chooses the person they feel most comfortable with, based on their profile, reviews, and a direct conversation.
  4. The stay takes place: the Sitter moves in and takes care of the home and animals, while the Host travels with peace of mind.

At the end of the stay, both parties leave a review to enrich the community.

Are pet sittings paid?

No, pet sittings are not paid.

Nomador is based on a peer-to-peer service exchange: the Sitter is hosted free of charge and takes care of the animals and the home during the Host's absence. In return, the Host benefits from a free, ideal pet care solution to look after their companions day-to-day and keep their home secure.

This model fosters relationships built on trust, mutual support, and a love of animals.

Only the Nomador subscription is paid. It gives you access to the platform and provides a framework for exchanges within the community.

Does Nomador work in my country?

Yes. Nomador is an international platform, used by members around the world. Whether you'd like to have your pets looked after at home in France, or sit a cat in Tokyo, a dog in Lisbon, or donkeys in Vermont — it's all possible. The community is active on every continent.

How can I connect with confidence on Nomador?

Trust is at the heart of Nomador. Several mechanisms are in place:

  • Verified profiles: every member can have their identity verified.
  • Two-way reviews: after each stay, Hosts and Sitters share their experience through a system of badges and recommendations.
  • Trust profiles: a profile builds up and strengthens over time as members engage with the community, making it easy to spot the most experienced members at a glance.
  • Pre-stay conversation: before each stay, a direct exchange (message, video call, or in-person meeting) is strongly encouraged. These conversations let you check the essentials and confirm that your expectations are aligned. You always remain free to choose the member you feel fully comfortable with.
How do I get started on Nomador?

It's quick:

  1. Sign up for free and complete your profile (photo, bio, interests…).
  2. Have your identity verified to build trust from the start.
  3. Publish your first listing (Host) or browse available stays (Sitter).
