Because they can’t tell you how it went.
So we vet the people who do. SafePawz connects Seattle dog and cat owners with sitters who are truly assessed with a multi-step application process, background-checked, and hand-picked — before one ever shows up at your door.
Seattle · Dogs & Cats
A sitter you’d actually trust, matched to your pet by hand.
Tell us what your dog or cat needs. Our founding team will personally review your request and try to find a vetted, background-checked Seattle sitter who fits. If we find a strong match, we’ll email you with next steps to book in the app.
- Vetted, not just signed up. Every sitter is background-checked and individually reviewed before they meet your pet.
- Matched by a real person. We review your request ourselves and look for a sitter near you — no anonymous marketplace roulette.
- Cats get equal care. Cat-specific plans and reports, not an afterthought bolted onto a dog app.
Request care
Takes about a minute — a real person reads every request.
Right now, SafePawz is iPhone-only. Android is on the way — you’re welcome to fill this out, but we may not be able to book you in the app for a bit. We’ll reach out the moment you can.

Most platforms are built to scale quickly.
SafePawz is built to keep the bar high.
We understand this isn’t a delivery. There’s no tracking number. It’s a stranger in your home, alone with your pet. Every SafePawz sitter is personally assessed because the pet care industry is full of talented professionals. We believe our job is to find them, verify them, and put them in front of the owners who value what they offer.
-
Application Review
A real person reads every application; in-depth experience, motivation, and any credentials you bring.
-
Video Responses
Three questions, about 90 seconds each, recorded in the app. No script.
-
Certifications & Insurance
Reviewed whenever a sitter carries certifications, training, or insurance.
-
Reference Checks
References are required from every applicant, and we follow up directly when a profile calls for a closer look.
-
Background Screening
Once a sitter passes our review, we run a third-party background check before their first booking.
Live Tracking
Real-time activity updates, photo sharing, and a full GPS route map when the walk is complete. No more wondering how it's going.
Curated Cat Reports
Litter box tracking, location behavior, and feline-specific mood assessments. Because cats aren't small dogs — and their care shouldn't be either.
Vetted Sitters
Individually reviewed sitters with experience, references, and qualifications you can see before you book.
Customize Your Care
Set feeding schedules, walk preferences, comfort needs, and sleep details when you book — so your sitter arrives fully prepared.

We built this for you.
