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.

    They did a really good job with my anxious and wary kitty, Lucy, who is known to freak out when I am away. They reported in with pictures and updates and listened really well to all my instructions, I'll definitely go to them again in the future for pet sitting!

    Susan definitely had her hands full at my little zoo and she did an excellent job. She took care of hermit crabs, a lizard, and two cats, one of whom is a super senior on two medications! Not only were my cats happy and well taken care of, I came home to an empty sink. My former sitter used to le...

    Review for Myesha

  • Justine

    Myesha was great with both my cat with medication and my active dog! I appreciated her previous vet clinic experience and my dog had a great time on active walks and hikes. Would definitely have sit again!

  • Anahi

    Shay is absolutely wonderful! My senior chihuahua Princess, and 5yr old Maltipoo Daisy loved her:) She handled Princess’s medication perfectly and kept Daisy calm while I was away. She kept me updated which gave me peace of mind. Highly recommend!

    Review for Ta’Shay

  • Katie

    Shay has watched our dog and cats many times, including overnight visits. Shay is responsible, reliable and our animals love her. I would highly recommend Shay as a pet sitter.

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.
