From our clients

Plant parents, finally relaxed

Last year my Fiddle Leaf died because a neighbour forgot. With PlantPal I got a WhatsApp photo every two days — Japan trip, no plant casualties. I won't go back.

Product Manager, Zürich

They confirmed species by species which of my Philodendrons they were comfortable with. Detailed written reports, not "all fine". This is the level of care a serious collector needs.

How it works

From booking to thriving plants

A transparent process designed so you never wonder what's happening with your plants.

1

Submit your booking request

Fill out our short form with your travel dates, plants, and any special needs. Takes about 2 minutes from your phone.

2

Free 20-minute video consultation

Before your first booking, we hop on a quick video call. You meet your carer, we walk through your plants, and we confirm species-by-species which we're qualified for.

3

Confirm schedule & key handover

We agree visit dates and arrange secure key handover (in person, key safe, or smart lock). You receive a written care plan to approve.

4

Visits happen on schedule

Your carer arrives on time, follows the agreed care plan, and treats each plant by name. Hygiene protocols are followed between clients.

5

Photo update on WhatsApp within 30 minutes

After every visit, you receive a photo of your plants on WhatsApp, along with a short note. Premium and Collection clients also get written reports.

6

Come home to thriving plants

Final visit includes a "ready for return" report. You walk in to plants that look as good — or better — than when you left.

What you receive

Photo proof. Every visit. No exceptions.

Forget vague "all fine" texts. With PlantPal you see exactly what's happening — wherever you are in the world.

  • Photo update on WhatsApp

    After every visit, within 30 minutes.

  • Written report (Premium)

    Plant-by-plant notes on watering, soil, pests.

  • Live video call (Collection)

    Optional check-in during the visit for rare-plant collectors.
