Pet care from people who live nearby

Boarding, house sitting, walks, day care and drop-in visits — from sitters in your own neighbourhood. Message them, meet them, and arrange it directly.

Free to search and message. You pay your sitter directly, and we take no commission.

Five kinds of care

How it works

  1. Search near you

    Pick the kind of care you need and where you are. You will see sitters nearby with their rates and what they offer.

  2. Message before you decide

    Ask about your dates, your pet, the things you would ask a neighbour. Nobody is committed to anything yet.

  3. Meet, then agree

    Most people meet first. You and the sitter settle the dates, the rate and how it works between you.

  4. Care happens — and you pay the sitter

    Payment is arranged directly between the two of you. We take no commission and no cut.

Why owners use it

  • People in your neighbourhood

    Search by where you actually live, not by city. A sitter fifteen minutes away is worth more than a highly rated one across town.

  • Judge for yourself, before committing

    Read what other owners wrote, look at the sitter’s own pets and photos, and message them. You decide who is right for your animal.

  • Photos while you are away

    Sitters can post pictures and short notes as the stay goes on, so you see how it is going instead of wondering.

  • No commission on top

    The rate you agree is the rate you pay. We do not add a service fee to your booking.

What you get

  • Messaging

    One conversation per sitter, kept in your inbox — so the details of a booking are not scattered across text messages.

  • Moments

    A picture and a story from a sitter mid-stay, or from you at any time. Likes, comments and a feed of the pets you follow.

  • Reviews

    Ratings and written reviews from owners who have actually used a sitter.

  • Availability

    Sitters keep a calendar of the days they can take, so you are not asking about dates that were never free.

  • Text alerts

    Premium members get a text when somebody replies, so a booking is not held up because they were away from a computer.

  • Search that fits the job

    Filter by service, distance, dates, rate and what a sitter will take — a dog walker and an overnight stay are not the same search.

For sitters

Get paid to look after animals in your area

Set your own rates and your own hours, and keep every penny of them.

  • Keep everything you charge

    No commission, no service fee, no cut of your rate. What you agree with an owner is what you are paid.

  • Your rates, your services, your calendar

    Offer one service or all five, set a different rate for each, and mark the days you cannot take.

  • Be found by people nearby

    Owners search by distance first. A profile here puts you in front of the ones on your own streets.

  • Build something that lasts

    Reviews, photos of the pets you have looked after, and repeat owners who come back to the same conversation.

  • What we do not do

    We introduce you to owners. We do not process payments, hold funds, issue refunds or settle disputes — you arrange money directly with the owner.

Become a sitter

Premium membership

Most bookings are arranged over a day or two of back-and-forth. Membership means you hear about a reply on your phone instead of finding it next time you open the site.

  • Text message alerts when somebody replies to you, so you are not refreshing the site.
  • Replies reach you when you are away from a computer — which is when most bookings are arranged.
  • Your verified mobile number on your account, ready if a sitter or owner needs to reach you urgently.

Separate from what you pay a sitter. That is still settled directly between the two of you.
