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.

Weather and caring for your dog in Bristol
A rainy fortnight in Bristol: 9 of 14 days with precipitation. Keep a towel and raincoat handy. Indoor cats notice it less, but it’s worth keeping the house cool and leaving fresh water out during visits. 14-day forecast (Open-Meteo); updated daily.
Storm
Many dogs are stressed by thunder. Walk between showers, avoid the storm hours and set up a quiet corner at home for them.
Rain
Shorter walks and a raincoat if your dog tolerates it. Dry paws and coat well on return to avoid colds and fungus.
Drizzle
Showers possible. Make the most of the clear spells to walk and bring a towel to dry them on the way back.
Ideal
