Why Sittsy gives you peace of mind
Does your pet get nervous when you're away? For pets with separation anxiety, Sittsy keeps their routine, their environment and a limit on time alone that you decide.
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 Leicester
A rainy fortnight in Leicester: 7 of 14 days with precipitation. Keep a towel and raincoat handy. 14-day forecast (Open-Meteo); updated daily.
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.
Very hot
Walk only first thing and at dusk; completely avoid the middle of the day (12–7 pm). Check the asphalt with the back of your hand: if you can't hold it for 5 seconds, it burns their pads. Always fresh water, and watch brachycephalic breeds, puppies and older dogs.
Heat
Move walks to early morning and the evening, look for shade and bring water. Avoid intense exercise in the sun.
Ideal
A perfect day for dogs: make the most of it with a long walk, play at the park or some socializing.
Air quality and walks in Leicester
Air quality is getting worse these days in Leicester: it reaches “poor” (index 62). Ozone rises with summer heat and is worst in the afternoon, so the air gets worse just when the sun is strongest. European air quality index (Open-Meteo); updated daily.
What to do these days
Limit intense exercise and walk first thing, when the air is cleanest. Take special care with brachycephalic dogs (bulldog, pug, boxer), puppies, older dogs and those with heart or respiratory problems.
