Websites for pet sitters
Web design for pet sitters: £249.99 to build, then £49.99 a month, no minimum term. Owners are going away and worrying. Explain exactly what a visit involves.
Pet sitting is bought by people about to go on holiday who are already anxious about leaving an animal, and frequently choosing it over a cattery or kennel specifically to avoid upsetting the pet.
They want to know precisely what happens: how long each visit lasts, what gets done, and what happens if something goes wrong while they are abroad.
What your customers want answered
- What does a visit include and how long is it
- How many visits a day, and what does it cost
- What happens if my pet is ill while I am away
- Are you insured, and can you handle medication
- Will you send updates
Have an emergency plan and publish itWhat you do if an animal is unwell, which vet you would use, how you reach the owner abroad, and who has authority to approve treatment. Owners on holiday are imagining the worst, and a sitter who has thought it through is the one they book.
Not distinguishing visits from boarding
Home visits, house sitting and boarding in your own home are different services with different licensing implications. Being clear about which you offer avoids confusion and keeps you the right side of local licensing rules.
Services and areas
Explain what you offer: drop-in visits, overnight stays in the owner's home, small animal care and medication. List the animals you care for, the areas you cover and prices.
Trust and first meetings
Show insurance, any checks, how keys are kept and how you update owners. Explain the meet-and-greet before the first booking.
Pets with special needs
Owners of older, anxious or unwell pets need extra confidence. Explain how you handle medication, special diets, mobility issues and pets that are nervous with strangers, and how you build trust before the first booking.
Describe house-sitting for longer trips, including what you do besides pet care, such as plants, post and security checks. Say how you keep owners updated with messages and photos, and what you do in an emergency, including contacting their vet.
