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 Louisville
A rainy fortnight in Louisville: 4 of 14 days with precipitation. Keep a towel and raincoat handy. Indoor cats notice it less, but it’s worth keeping the house cool and leaving fresh water out during visits. 14-day forecast (Open-Meteo); updated daily.
Toughest day: Sun 20 Sep, 95 °F. 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.
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.
Ideal
A perfect day for dogs: make the most of it with a long walk, play at the park or some socializing.
Air quality and walks in Louisville
Air quality is getting worse these days in Louisville: it reaches “poor” (index 70). 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
Limit intense exercise and walk first thing, when the air is cleanest. Take special care with brachycephalic dogs (bulldog, pug, boxer), puppies, older dogs and those with heart or respiratory problems.
