How Pet Sitting Works on Pet Video Verify
Pet Video Verify lets a pet owner create a sitting booking, choose when the service happens, pick a sitter from a list of local sitters, and stay in contact with that sitter while the service is running. Sitters on the platform have their identities checked through an identity verification service. The same app also covers pet walking, boarding, house sitting, day care, and drop-in visits, so the sitting flow below is the pattern for those services too.
The booking flow, step by step
- Create your own pet sitting booking. According to the site, "You decide when you want your pet sitting service to occur." You set the timing rather than picking from fixed slots.
- Select a sitter from a list of local pet sitters. The site describes choosing "from a list of local pet sitters for the one best for you," so the list is location-based and you make the final choice.
- Communicate with your sitter. The site states you "can communicate with your pet sitter during your service and request information on your pet." Messaging is part of the service window, not just the booking stage.
- Rely on verified identities. Pet Video Verify says sitter identities "are verified through an identity verification service." This is the platform's stated trust check on the sitter side.
What the sitter gets access to
For the care services listed on the site — boarding, walking, day care, house sitting, and drop-in visits — the sitter "will also have access to that pet's medical records in case there is an emergency." That access is tied to an emergency need, not general browsing.
Services that use this same flow
| Service | What the sitter does |
|---|---|
| Pet Boarding | The pet stays in the sitter's home |
| Pet Walking | The sitter walks the pet for the owner |
| Pet Day Care | The sitter cares for the pet for the day |
| Pet House Sitting | The sitter stays at the owner's home |
| Pet Drop-in Visits | The sitter drops in to handle the pet's needs |
The site also lists pets for adoption, lost-and-found pets, items for sale by pet owners, and new pet supplies as separate app features, plus a supplies shop reachable through the mobile app.
Becoming a sitter
The site says "You Can Become A Pet Sitter Yourself" and that you can "Create Own Pet Sitting Bookings." So the same account type can move between hiring a sitter and offering sitting services. The site does not publish sitter payout rates, fees, or commission details, so treat earnings as unspecified until you check inside the app.
What to confirm before you book
- Availability in your area. The sitter list is local, so the number of options depends on where you are.
- Sitter verification scope. The site says identities are verified through a verification service; it does not describe background checks beyond that, so ask the sitter directly if you need more.
- Medical record access. Confirm what records are on file for your pet, since the sitter's emergency access depends on them.
- Pricing. No rates, fees, or payment methods appear on the page, so check the app for current costs before committing.
