Why Sittsy gives you peace of mind
Does your pet get nervous when you're away? Cats get stressed when they leave home: with Sittsy your cat stays in its own territory, with its scents and routine, and you verify every visit.
Verified visits: photo, time and location
On every visit the sitter sends photos in the moment, with their time and GPS location. Photos from another day don't count: you know the visit really happened.
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 Los Angeles
The next two weeks in Los Angeles are looking hot: 14 of 14 days top 86 °F. Plan walks for first and last thing. Indoor cats notice it less, but it's worth keeping the house cool and with water during visits. 14-day forecast (Open-Meteo); updated daily.
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.
Air quality and walks in Los Angeles
Air quality in Los Angeles for the next few days. Ozone rises with summer heat and is worst in the afternoon, so the air gets worse just when the sun is strongest. 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.
