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.

    Chase seemed calm and happy when we returned home, the best experience we have had with a dog sitter. Nikki took great of him including having to clean his kennel after he threw up. That was above and beyond!

    Nikki is an incredibly kind human who loves her animals like they are her children. She often comes and spends time with my "mean" cat who doesnt like anybody. Well, he loves her. Her passion for animal care is truly evident is the way she cares for not only her animals but others. I would recommen...

    My experience with Nicole Caha and animals is amazing. She has personally cared for a variety of cats, dogs and caged animals in her house. She has the biggest heart and soft spot for any animal. I have often seen pictures of her and daughter at petting zoos. Pretty much, animals are a big part of h...

    Stephen is one of the biggest animal lovers I know. I've seen firsthand how much he loves and cares for his own pets, the pets of friends and family, and even random animals we come across. He treats every animal like it's his own. Leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, but I'd trust ...

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.
