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.

    Vadim has shown great care and attention to my pet bird when she was with him. He has watched her for a day but took very good care and and is attentive to my bird's needs. I very highly recommend Vadim for any pet "babysitting" needs. Thank you Vadim!!!
