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.

    Isla was an absolutely amazing petsitter, she was kind, empathetic, and quickly made a great connection with my dogs (a labrador mix and a collie). She is skilled and experienced, and handled even difficult situations with calmness and ease. 10/10 would recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Home visits

How do I book a pet sitter?

Simply search for sitters in your area, browse their profiles, read reviews, and send a booking request. You can message sitters directly before booking to ensure they're the right fit.

Are sitters insured?

Sittsy does not insure sitters or bookings. Eligible bookings made and paid on Sittsy include the Sittsy Guarantee. The guarantee may reimburse certain costs, such as vet care and property damage, up to the limits and on the conditions shown in the app. The Sittsy Guarantee is not an insurance policy. If you want insurance, ask your sitter whether they have their own.

What if I need to cancel?

We offer flexible cancellation policies. Review the specific sitter's cancellation policy before booking, and contact support if you need help.
