FAQ

Pet sitting FAQ

What kinds of pets can sitters care for?

Most commonly dogs and cats, and many sitters are happy with small pets too. Describe your pet's species, size and temperament in the job post, and sitters comfortable with your animal will apply.

What can I ask the sitter to do?

Feeding, walks, play, litter or cage care, and simple companionship. Agree the exact task list and schedule with your sitter before booking.

Should we meet before the first booking?

Yes — a short meet-and-greet is the best start, especially for dogs. Your pet meets the sitter, the sitter learns the routine, and you book with confidence.
