Skaffa Hund Becomes Get a Pet

From Skaffa Hund to Get a Pet

After several years as Sweden’s leading marketplace for dog listings, the company behind Skaffa Hund is taking its next big step. The platform is now changing its name to Get a Pet and opening up for both dogs and cats, while also launching the service across the entire Nordic region.

Get a Pet builds on many years of experience in safe pet rehoming and keeps everything that has worked well. At the same time, we are creating new tools, new technology, and a broader vision.

Secure payments for your pet with PetPay

Together with the launch of Get a Pet, we are also introducing PetPay, a payment solution built specifically for pet purchases.
PetPay creates security for both buyers and sellers by:

  • holding the payment safely with us until the pet has been picked up
  • automatically generating a digital purchase agreement that is easy for both parties to complete
  • verifying both buyer and seller with eID
  • offering additional features that make for a safe and smooth transaction

“Get a Pet is a natural next step for us. We’re expanding to include both dogs and cats and opening the platform to the entire Nordic region. Together with our partners in Sweden and Norway, our ambition is to establish Get a Pet as the leading marketplace in the Nordics, with PetPay as the foundation for secure payments and safe pet purchases.” André Andersson, co-founder of Get a Pet

A shared Nordic platform

Get a Pet is now launching in Sweden and Norway, and will soon be available in Denmark and Finland as well. The setup is the same in every country, with the same verification and the same requirements.

By bringing the Nordics together on a single platform, it becomes easier for breeders and buyers to find each other, even across borders. For breeders, this means greater reach; for buyers, more options—without compromising on safety or on what they’re actually looking for.

It should feel familiar and trustworthy, no matter where in the Nordics you use the service. The same rules, the same responsibilities, and the same focus on doing things the right way.

Dogs and cats on the same platform

For the first time, both dogs and cats are gathered on the same platform. The setup is the same regardless of pet, with clear rules, mandatory verification, and a process that is easy for both breeders and buyers to follow.

The goal is to bring everything together in one place and make it easier to buy and sell pets in a safe and responsible way. A warm welcome to Get a Pet!
