Client & pet profiles
Every pet has a profile with feeding schedule, medications, allergies, vet contacts, and behavioral notes. Never forget a detail mid-visit.
Run your pet sitting business — without the chaos.
Pettize is a modern CRM for pet sitters and dog walkers who've outgrown Rover. Manage clients, pets, recurring visits, photo reports, and a no-signup client portal — all in one place.
Free during beta · Works on phone, tablet, and laptop · No app store install
Pet sitter software shouldn't feel like enterprise CRM.
Most pet sitting software was built for agencies with 20+ employees. Pettize is built for solo sitters and dog walkers who care about every pet, every visit, every owner.
Built for solo sitters
No multi-staff scheduling, no agency dashboards. Just the tools one sitter actually needs to run a busy book of clients.
A real Rover alternative
Keep 100% of what you charge. Bring your own clients. Stop competing on a marketplace where Rover takes a cut of every visit.
Mobile-first, no app store
Pettize works as a fast web app on your phone. Check in, take photos, send reports — all from your browser. Optional install to your home screen.
Everything a pet sitter needs. Nothing they don't.
Eight focused features that cover 100% of the daily workflow.
Photo visit reports
Take photos during each visit. Owners see them in their portal and get a beautiful email recap automatically when you complete the visit.
Recurring schedules
Set "every Mon, Wed, Fri at 12pm" once. Pettize auto-generates the next 30 days of visits. Never miss a recurring dog walk again.
GPS check-in & checklist
Tap "Check in" when you arrive. We log the time and location, plus a quick checklist (fed, walked, water, bathroom, meds).
No-signup client portal
Owners just tap a private link to see their visit reports, photos, and pet info. No app, no password — perfect for elderly clients.
Live owner updates
Owners can watch the portal during a visit and see check-in status, photos, and notes appear in real time.
Access vault
Store gate codes, alarm codes, and key locations per client in one secure place. Only you can see them — never share them in plaintext over text again.
Built-in invoicing
Generate clean, branded invoices from completed visits in seconds. Share via WhatsApp or email, track who has paid, and see your monthly earnings on the dashboard. Sitters collect payment directly — no platform fee.

Frequently asked questions
- What is a pet sitter CRM? +
- A pet sitter CRM (Customer Relationship Management) is software designed to help pet sitters and dog walkers manage their clients, pets, schedules, and visit records. Pettize is purpose-built for solo pet sitters — managing client info, recurring visits, photo reports, and owner communication in one place.
- Is Pettize a Rover alternative? +
- Yes. Pettize is built for sitters who want to run their own business outside Rover or Wag, keeping 100% of what they charge. Unlike Rover, Pettize isn't a marketplace — you bring your own clients, and Pettize gives you the tools to manage them professionally.
- How much does Pettize cost? +
- Pettize is currently free during our beta. After beta, our plan is to charge $12.99/month or $120/year for unlimited clients with all Pro features (photo reports, GPS check-in, client portal, recurring schedules). Beta users will get advance notice and a loyalty discount before paid plans start.
- Do my clients need to download an app? +
- No. Pettize is a Progressive Web App — it works in any browser on any device. Your clients access their visit reports via a private magic link, no signup or app download required. This is especially great for elderly clients who may struggle with new apps.
- How is Pettize different from Time To Pet or Pet Sitter Plus? +
- Most pet sitting software (Time To Pet, Pet Sitter Plus, Precise Petcare) was built for agencies with multiple staff and complex permissions. Pettize is built specifically for solo pet sitters and dog walkers — simpler, more modern, mobile-first, and a fraction of the price (free during beta vs. $20-65/month).
- Can I import my existing clients? +
- Yes — manually for now. Just open Clients → Add client and fill in details. We're working on CSV import for sitters with 20+ clients. If you need help migrating from spreadsheets or another tool, email us.
- Does Pettize work for cat sitters, bird sitters, and other pets? +
- Yes. While we use dog-walking examples on this site, Pettize supports dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, reptiles, fish, and "other" species. Each pet has its own profile with species-specific care details.
- How do photo reports work? +
- During a visit, tap 'Add photo' and either take a new photo with your phone camera or upload from your gallery. Up to 6 photos per visit. When you complete the visit, the owner automatically receives an email with the photos, your care checklist, and any notes you wrote — like a polished visit recap they can save forever.
- Is my client data secure? +
- Yes. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Each sitter can only see their own clients (enforced by row-level security in our database). Photos are stored in private storage with signed URLs that expire after one hour. Owner portal links use 256-bit random tokens.
- Where can I sign up? +
- You can sign up at pettize.com/signup using email or Google in under a minute. It's free during beta and there's no credit card required.
