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.

Shorter walks and a raincoat if your dog tolerates it. Dry paws and coat well on return to avoid colds and fungus.

    This was my second time with Stella as my sitter and I'm sure I'll go back to her again if/when I need to.

    Review for Stella

  • D.J.

    I was a little worried about leaving Mojo in the care of a stranger but daily updates from Stella made me feel better. I'll definitely book her again next time I have to travel.

    Review for Stella

  • Salem

    Billie watched my two German Shepards for two weeks, brushed them really thoroughly, they were happy and well fed when I got back. Couldn't recommend them enough!

    Review for Billie

  • Kiki

    After meeting Stella it became very apparent that she has both the knowledge and the passion to care for cats. She befriended my own cat rapidly, and took care of her for two weeks while I was unable to. Now I trust her more than anything else to care for my cat whenever I need her to.

    Review for Stella

  • Judith

    Leigh has been caring for our 4 cats and 1 dog for years now, staying overnight when we go away, handling all of their special feeding needs and medications with no issue. Dobby (dog) adores her, they even “sing” together!

    Review for Stella

  • Amanda

    We were nervous leaving our pet with a sitter for the first time, but Taylor immediately put us at ease. She was patient, gentle, and communicative the entire time. We came home to a happy, stress-free pet.

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.
