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.

    Shayla watched my St. Berdoodle, Lola, and I couldn't have asked for better care. She paid close attention to Lola's needs the whole time kept her well fed, made sure she stayed clean, and spent plenty of time playing with her so she never felt neglected. It's clear Shayla genuinely loves animals an...

She helps with his feeding schedule, walks, medications, and overall routine, and I never have to worry about whether he is being properly take...

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.
