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.
