I found a cat sitter for our two kitties 48 hours before we had to leave on a business trip and no one else was available.

I love that I didn’t have to uproot Felix's life and I received cute photos the entire time I was on my trip

How do I evaluate sitters?

Every sitter undergoes a thorough vetting process which includes cat handling, safety tests, phone screening, and background checks. Many of the sitters have worked as veterinary technicians or shelter volunteers. The majority have been lifelong cat owners and caretakers. 95% of Wag! sittings result in a perfect, 5-star review.

How do I pay for the service?
