How do I find a pet sitter?

Walkies doesn't list pet sitters, but here's how to find one, and how to connect with a sitter who uses Walkies.

Walkies doesn't list or recommend pet sitters, so you can't search for one in Walkies. Walkies is the app pet sitters and dog walkers use to run their business, and Walkies Journal is the free app their clients use. Find a pet sitter near you, then ask if they use Walkies.


How to find a pet sitter

  • Ask friends, neighbours, your vet or your groomer who they recommend.

  • Search online for a dog walker or pet sitter near you, and read their reviews.

  • Look in local community groups and neighbourhood apps.

  • Before you book, ask if they're insured, ask for references, and meet them with your pet first.


If your pet sitter uses Walkies

Your pet sitter sends you a link to connect the Walkies Journal app. Once you're connected, you can follow walks live, see updates and photos, book, pay invoices and message them. See How do I connect to my pet sitter?

The app connects to one pet sitter at a time. If you're already connected to another one, see How do I switch to a new pet sitter?

If your pet sitter doesn't use Walkies yet, you can tell them about it.
