Find & Compare Pet Sitters and Dog Walkers in Your Area!

Pet sitters and dog walkers come to your home: midday walks for a dog alone during work hours, drop-in visits to feed a cat and scoop the litter, overnight stays so pets keep their routine, and medication or injections for animals with health needs. Some also handle mail, plants and lights so the house looks occupied. People search this page before a vacation, after a schedule change, or when an aging dog cannot manage a full day without a break.

This work is unlicensed in most states, so weigh insurance, bonding and background checks instead. Ask whether the sitter is insured and bonded, whether anyone else will enter your home, how they handle a lost pet or a vet emergency, and how you will get updates. A meet-and-greet before the first visit is standard. Pricing is per walk, per visit or per night, with surcharges for extra pets, holidays and medication. If your pet needs more care than visits can provide, pet boarding kennels may suit better, and sitters who notice something wrong will send you to veterinarians.

The sitters and walkers on this page wrote their own listings, and a person reviewed each before publishing. If you look after pets in their homes, apply to get listed — it is free and takes minutes.
