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.

  • Poelano

    Mose is a very affectionate person and just has a nature of loving pets. She has cared for multiple bunnies one with a unique name called Dono-sonokwasi,which I really love because it shows how she put so much care to create a unique, probably non existing name for her bunny.
