Why Sittsy gives you peace of mind

Does your pet get nervous when you're away? For nervous dogs, every walk goes at their own pace and you can follow it live by GPS.

Live GPS during the walk

You follow your dog's route on the map in real time and see the distance and duration when it ends.

Care schedule and max time alone

You set your pet's routine and how long it can stay alone; the sitter sees it and Sittsy helps make sure it's respected. Designed for pets with separation anxiety.

You see the sitter's other pets

On their profile and calendar you see which other pets they have or host on those days. When you book we tell you if your pet will overlap with others, so you can confirm they're a good fit.

    As an owner of two Cockapoos it’s been impossible to find a reliable friendly dog sitter. This changed once I found Abi. She not only took perfect care of my dogs but went above and beyond. She constantly updated of how they were getting on, sent photos of them and overall made it such an easy exper...

    Isabella has been walking our dog for over four years - and has also stayed over for extended 24-hour care on the odd occasion we have to go out of town. We’re convinced our retriever loves Isabella more than us based on the welcome Isabella gets when she arrives at the front door! Isabella is alwa...

    Bella was amazing with my cat Mochi! She was super attentive, kind, and easy to communicate with, which made me feel really comfortable leaving Mochi in her care :) Mochi can be a little particular, and he has his quirks for sure, but Bella made sure he was well-looked-after and clearly gave him lo...

Frequently asked questions about Dog Walking

How long are the walks?

Standard walks are typically 30 minutes, with 60-minute walks available for high-energy dogs. Some walkers also offer quick 15-20 minute potty breaks.

Does my dog walk alone or with other dogs?

You can choose! Solo walks provide one-on-one attention, while group walks (usually 2-4 dogs) offer socialization opportunities. Group walks are often more affordable.

How do walkers access my home?

You can provide a spare key, use a lockbox, or give the walker a door code. Many pet parents meet the walker for the first visit, then provide key access for future walks.

What happens in bad weather?

Most walkers will still walk in light rain or cold weather with proper gear. In severe weather (storms, extreme heat), walkers will contact you to reschedule or shorten the walk.
