Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from pet sitters in Leicester every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
Not showing up in local pet sitting searches
Owners want a sitter nearby. If you're not in top Google results, those bookings go elsewhere.
No website to show your setup and credentials
Owners want to see where their pet stays. Without a website showing photos and insurance, you're losing bookings.
Cat owners don't know you do cat sitting too
Many pet sitters do home visits for cats. If your Google listing only mentions dogs, cat owners search right past you.
Clients love you but reviews don't reflect it
A handful of reviews vs 50 glowing ones — new pet owners pick the sitter with the stronger track record.
