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.

Storm

Many dogs are stressed by thunder. Walk between showers, avoid the storm hours and set up a quiet corner at home for them.

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.

Ideal

A perfect day for dogs: make the most of it with a long walk, play at the park or some socializing.

    I have an amazing cat named Griffin that I love very much, but he can be a little difficult at times when he is around strangers. Hayley has watched him now on several occasions and she always finds a way to calm his nerves and gain his trust. I never have to worry when I’m away from him because Gr...

    I would trust her as if I would trust my family. Not only is she responsible and loving but she has experience with dog behavior and training so I know she can handle even my spicy dog.

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.
