Market Dynamics
The growth of the pet sitting market is attributed to the increased pet ownership and humanization of pets. According to the American Pet Products Association, around 70 million homes in the U.S. own at least one pet. Owning a pet has positive impact on mental and physical health of owners. However, pet owners face challenges to take care of their pets when they are on vacations or business trips. This drives the demand for pet sitting services wherein professional pet sitters take care of pets at their homes, providing them food, water, medication if needed, playtime and walks. Another factor fueling the market growth is increasing number of nuclear families wherein both partners have career responsibilities leaving little time to take care of pets. This has increased the acceptance and demand for pet sitting services.

Market Opportunities
The care visits segment involves regular visits by pet sitters to feed, walk and play with pets when the owners are away. This segment accounts for around 60% of the total pet sitting market currently owing to the assurance and personalized attention it provides pets. Being away from home for long hours puts stress on pets and regular care visits help reduce anxiety and maintain their daily routine and bonding with the sitter. With increasing pet ownership and dual income households where owners travel more frequently, the need for reliable care visits is growing steadily.
While care visits ensure pets remain well taken care of during longer owner absences, drop-in visits are a convenient option for shorter trips or when paired with care visits. They involve brief check-ins by sitters to feed, play and tend to pets for a few minutes. This segment is growing at a faster pace compared to care visits driven by flexibility and cost savings it provides owners. Busy lifestyles mean taking more occasional short trips which makes pre-scheduled drop-ins a suitable solution for many pet parents.
