The problem
A solo pet sitter gets 5–7 new inquiries a week and one last‑minute surprise — a client adds a second walker or says others will come and go — which can void the sitter’s insurance and put a $500–$1,200 booking at risk, according to threads in r/petsitting and insurer guides like Pet Care Insurance. Sitters rely on piecemeal tools: a PDF contract, a basic website, and a personal phone; they still get stuck answering nights and weekends or cancelling sits because the booking wasn’t insurance‑safe. Insurance policies and industry guides (PSI, Pet Care Insurance, Coverage Criteria) show “care, custody and control” and residence‑coverage endorsements are common but limited and often exclude shared or third‑party care, so sitters face real uncovered vet bills and liability. More sitters are leaving platforms to keep margins and own clients, which removes platform guardrails and makes this problem urgent now (Pet Sitters International 2024 state survey and Coverage Criteria analysis).
