Why Sittsy gives you peace of mind

Does your pet get nervous when you're away? For pets with separation anxiety, Sittsy keeps their routine, their environment and a limit on time alone that you decide.

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.

    Mark has always been so amazing with our Billy throughout the years and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet. Thank you so much Mark!

    Genasea is spectacular! Truly someone who takes care of not just animals but of my peace of mind. She always manages to do two walks a day with my puppy and ensures that the house is clean when I get home. I could not recommend her more!

    Amy is great!!! She watched my five dogs for me while I was out of town and did a fantastic job. She kept them calm, happy and safe the whole time which, is difficult with a pack that size! She’s great with little and big dogs which was a huge relief since I have all sizes. I definitely recommend us...

    Amy watched my cat for me when I was away on a trip. She took great care of her and stayed a while to make sure my cat had the food and water she needed. Amy also checked in with me and assured me that my cat was doing well. Great experience!
