Pet care you can
actually trust.
GPS-tracked walks. AI visit reports. Backup sitters if your main cancels. And sitters who keep 100% of what they earn. PetHour is the pet care marketplace built for transparency.
Know exactly where your pet is — and how they're doing.
From the moment a walk starts to the final AI-generated visit report, PetHour keeps you in the loop. No more wondering. No more "trust me" updates.
-
GPS-tracked walks — real-time route, distance, duration, and speed. You get a push notification when the walk starts and a summary card when it ends.
-
AI visit reports — photos, voice notes, and GPS data automatically composed into a polished summary delivered to your inbox after every visit.
-
Backup sitter network — add up to 3 backup sitters to every booking. If your main sitter cancels, a backup steps in within 15 minutes.
-
Transparent 10% service fee — itemized at checkout. No commissions buried in the sitter's price. What you see is what you pay.
Keep 100% of your service rate. Always.
The other platforms takes 20% of every booking — forever. On PetHour, you pay a flat monthly subscription and keep every dollar you earn.
-
Last Minute dispatch — get first-wave notifications for urgent bookings. Higher plan sitters get notified first.
-
Sitter Insights — demand heatmaps, price benchmarks, backup earnings potential, and an AI business summary every week.
How PetHour works
Create your account
Sign up free. Add your pets — their personality, health notes, and emergency contacts — so every sitter is fully prepared before day one.
Find & book your sitter
Browse verified local sitters by service, availability, and reliability score. Add backup sitters to your Care Team — they're paid just for being on standby.
Watch the visit unfold
Live GPS route during walks. Photo and voice updates every 10–15 minutes. An AI-generated visit report lands in your inbox when it's done.
Everything pet care should be — and usually isn't.
GPS Route Tracking
Strava-style route maps with distance, duration, speed, and pause time. Live tracking during the walk — watch it unfold from your phone.
AI Visit Reports
Photos, 15-second clips, and voice notes auto-composed into a polished report after every visit. No extra work for sitters — it just happens.
Backup Sitter Network
Add up to 3 backup sitters per booking. If your main cancels, all backups are notified at once — the first to accept steps in within 15 minutes.
Verified Reliability Scores
Scores calculated from GPS-verified completions, cancellation rate, response time, and reviews. Cannot be gamed — fake bookings cost real money.
E-Gift Certificates
Send pet care credit to anyone — even people without a PetHour account. Share a Gift Link and let grandma chip in for Bella's boarding.
Pet Memory Timeline
Once a month, AI automatically compiles the best moments from all your pet's visits into a short highlight video — delivered to you automatically.
Need someone in the next hour?

Real people. Verified bookings.
"The GPS tracking alone is worth it. I could watch Charlie's entire walk from my desk. The AI report at the end made my day."
"I switched from Rover after calculating I was giving up $200/mo in commissions. PetHour pays me what I actually earn."
"When my sitter had an emergency the backup stepped in within 10 minutes. I didn't even have to do anything — it just worked."
