Overview
Pet sitting is hourly care at the owner’s home. Providers follow the instructions you share for feeding, play, and house routines — not veterinary treatment.
Key benefits
- Pets stay in a familiar space.
- Hourly visits with a start time you choose.
- Share pet notes and access details in the booking.
- Message the sitter through Pawhaven.
How it works
- Select Pet Sitting and the hours you need.
- Describe your pet’s routine in the booking.
- The provider accepts or declines the request.
- Stay in touch in the app during the visit window.
What owners can expect
- Care at the address on the booking.
- No off-platform payment for Pawhaven bookings.
- Clear house rules so the sitter is not guessing.
Safety
Sitters should not be asked to give treatment they are not comfortable with. Pawhaven does not replace your veterinarian.
Questions about pet sitting
Is sitting overnight?
Hourly pet sitting is for visits during the day or evening. Overnight care at your home is a separate Overnight Pet Sitting service.
