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.

Weather and caring for your dog in Winnipeg
The weather for the next two weeks in Winnipeg, day by day, with care tips. It's exactly what a good walker takes into account on every outing. 14-day forecast (Open-Meteo); updated daily.
Rain
Shorter walks and a raincoat if your dog tolerates it. Dry paws and coat well on return to avoid colds and fungus.
Drizzle
Showers possible. Make the most of the clear spells to walk and bring a towel to dry them on the way back.
Very hot
Walk only first thing and at dusk; completely avoid the middle of the day (12–7 pm). Check the asphalt with the back of your hand: if you can't hold it for 5 seconds, it burns their pads. Always fresh water, and watch brachycephalic breeds, puppies and older dogs.
Heat
Move walks to early morning and the evening, look for shade and bring water. Avoid intense exercise in the sun.
Ideal
A perfect day for dogs: make the most of it with a long walk, play at the park or some socialising.
Air quality and walks in Winnipeg
Air quality in Winnipeg for the next few days. European air quality index (Open-Meteo); updated daily.
What to do these days
Moderate quality: most dogs can walk as usual; brachycephalic, older or breathing-impaired dogs are better off without intense exercise at midday.

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.
