Frequently asked questions

Common questions about switching to The Pet Sitter App for your dog walking or pet sitting business.

What is the best app for an independent dog walker or pet sitter?
The Pet Sitter App is built specifically for solo dog walkers, cat sitters, and independent pet-care professionals. Unlike generic calendars or bloated kennel software, it combines multi-household group walk scheduling, pet emergency cards, encrypted key safe codes, digital off-lead consent agreements, and direct online client booking in a fast mobile app starting at £4.95/month.
Does The Pet Sitter App take commission on my bookings?
No. Unlike pet sitting marketplaces such as Rover, Wag, Tailster, or Pawshake that take 15% to 25% of every booking, The Pet Sitter App charges 0% commission. You pay a flat monthly subscription (£4.95/month for Starter or £9.95/month for Pro Walker) and keep 100% of your earnings.
How does it compare to enterprise software like Time To Pet or PetExec?
Enterprise pet care platforms are designed for large multi-staff agencies and kennels, often costing £35 to £100+ per month with complex setup. The Pet Sitter App is streamlined for independent walkers and sitters in the field - you can set up your services, rates, and public booking link in minutes for £4.95 to £9.95/month.
Do my pet owners need to download an app from the App Store?
No. Pet owners can view your public profile, request bookings, sign your digital pet care agreement, and check their upcoming schedule from any phone or computer browser using an instant magic link. Sitters can install The Pet Sitter App directly to their phone home screen (PWA) for one-tap field access.
Can I schedule group dog walks with dogs from different households?
Yes. You can add dogs from multiple households into a single group walk slot, repeat weekly schedules up to 52 weeks in advance, and get automatic safety or reactivity alerts if incompatible dogs are placed together.
Does it work for cat visits, puppies, and exotic or pocket pets?
Yes. Alongside solo and group dog walks, you can configure custom drop-in visits, holiday sits, and home boarding. Each pet profile supports custom daily checklists (like litter box scooping, medication doses, or reptile heat lamp checks) and one-tap WhatsApp photo updates for owners.
