Sitter Rank is a web platform that connects pet owners with independent, local pet sitters and dog walkers. Sitters build profiles showing background check badges, service areas, rates and availability calendars. Pet owners search by zip code, read reviews and book directly with the sitter they choose.
The platform positions itself against large pet care apps. Its homepage names Rover and Wag and says those platforms charge sitters 20-40% commissions. Sitter Rank instead lets sitters set their own rates and keep what they earn, while pet owners search and browse for free and pay the sitter directly.
The owner flow has three steps. An owner enters a zip code to find independent sitters and dog walkers nearby, then reads reviews from other pet owners and compares ratings, services and pricing. Finally the owner picks an available time, confirms the booking and connects directly with the sitter.
Sitters sign up, create a profile, set rates, define a service area and start accepting bookings. Reviews can only come from owners who completed a booking, and sitters cannot remove negative ones, though they can respond publicly. If a problem arises, owners can contact support, which says it investigates complaints about sitter conduct or service quality.
The core of the product is the sitter profile, which gathers background check badges, service areas, rates and an availability calendar in one place. Zip code search lets owners filter by services and compare ratings side by side. Calendars show real-time openings, so owners book spots that work for both sides.
Paid plans add business tools. Pro includes booking management, a client CRM, visit updates and email support. Premium adds advanced analytics, priority listing, priority support and a background check badge. Plans also differ in limits on photos and service areas, from one of each on Free to unlimited on Premium.
