Frequently Asked Questions
How is a pet sitter different from a dog walker?
A dog walker focuses on exercise — typically a 30–60 minute leash walk. A pet sitter provides broader care including feeding, play, companionship, and sometimes overnight stays.
What questions should I ask a pet sitter?
Ask about their emergency plan, how many pets they care for simultaneously, their experience with your pet's species and any specific needs, and whether they send photo updates.
How many pets does a pet sitter typically watch at once?
In-home sitters (staying at your house) usually focus on one household. Home-based sitters (your pet goes to their home) may care for 2–4 pets at once — ask directly.
What if there's an emergency while I'm away?
Always confirm the sitter's emergency plan before booking. Provide your vet's contact info, a backup person with authority to make decisions, and written authorization for emergency vet care.
