Questions, answered

How are sitters vetted?+

Every sitter completes identity verification and a background check before they can accept bookings. You'll also see verified reviews from real past stays, so you know exactly who's caring for your cat.

Is PetStay cats-only?+

Yes — PetStay is built exclusively for cats. Every sitter on our platform has been matched and vetted specifically for feline care, so you're never leaving your cat with someone who prefers dogs.

What if something goes wrong?+

Every booking is backed by PetStay Protect, including a $10,000 vet care guarantee and 24/7 live support — day or night, anywhere you are in the world.

Can I meet the sitter first?+

Absolutely. Message any sitter before booking and arrange a free meet-and-greet so you and your cat feel completely comfortable before the stay.

How do daily updates work?+

Your sitter sends photos, feeding logs, and playtime updates straight to the PetStay app every day, so you never miss a moment while you're away.
