You can now set your service area based on travel time or distance, and also choose the travel mode you use to get around your city (walking, cycling, or driving).
🛟 Update on sitter promo codes
We’ve slightly updated how referral promo codes work: Pet parents can still use your promo code for $20 off, but referral rewards for sitters are only earned when new clients sign up through your unique profile link.

“Most recently I took on a pooch who was a rescue from Ukraine. Ella was incredibly nervous, with scars on her face from the war. I was the first stranger to look after her in the UK. If you look at her progress on Insta, you can see the sparkle come through, her confidence and trust growing. For me that was magical and special.”
