Pet Sitters: Stop Losing Jobs to Competitors Who Just Rank Higher
Most pet-sitters we speak to have been burned by an agency before. We get it. Here's why this is different and why we're cheaper than the last ones who didn't deliver.

Why It's Different for Pet Sitters
The honest reason most pet-sitters struggle online is that they hire someone whose other clients are dentists or e-commerce. The advice does not transfer. We work specifically with trades and we know how the calls actually come in.
The work coming through the door for pet-sitters is mostly last-minute bookings, insurance and bonding, and holiday pet care. Most pet-sitters are accredited with No mandatory regulation; Narps UK, Animal Boarding licence for home boarding, and that is one of the things pet-sitter customers check before they call.
What We Actually Do
Pet Sitters get told the same marketing advice as everyone else, and most of it does not apply. Here is what actually works for pet-sitters in 2026. We replace four or five things you would normally pay separately for: web designer, SEO agency, social media person, review-request app, missed-call system. One package, one price, one person to talk to.
Pet Sitters who join the package go through the same pet-sitter-specific onboarding: we collect pet-sitter business details, photos, and existing reviews on day one. We build the pet-sitter site over the following week and start the pet-sitter SEO and Google profile work in week two.
What Most Owners Get Wrong
We work with seven UK trades businesses, and the same diagnosis keeps coming up across our pet-sitters and other trades clients. The common thread is search visibility, not skill. You can spot a business that has not done the Google work because the owner is always 'a bit slow this month'. The trades with sorted listings are not slow, ever. They might be picky about which jobs they take, but slow is not a thing.
The Clients We Already Run
We work with seven UK trades businesses, and the same diagnosis keeps coming up across our pet-sitters and other trades clients. The common thread is search visibility, not skill. The first paying client signed up in March. The seventh signed up in early April. We are growing slowly because every client gets the same level of attention, and that ceiling moves up as we add more capacity.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
We track every keyword you should be ranking for and check positions weekly. When something drops, we fix it that week, not next month. The monthly report shows every keyword and the change versus last month, in plain English.
Missed-Call Text-Back
Costs nothing extra to run, included in the monthly price. Most clients save the cost of the whole package within the first fortnight from this single feature.
Review Automation
After every job (or once a week, depending on your workflow) the system automatically asks your customers for a Google review. About one in three actually leaves one. Over a year, that adds up to dozens of fresh reviews on your listing.
What It Costs
Standard price: £199 setup, £199 a month after. Less than £6.70 a day. The website is built into the setup fee and you own it outright. You can leave after three months.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
One job from Google pays for the month. The price is £199 setup and £199 a month. Less than £6.70 a day. Cancel after the third month if it isn't working out.
What do you actually do every month?
Six things every month: Google profile updates, fresh website content, automated review requests, missed-call recovery, ranking checks, and a monthly report. No add-ons, no upsells, no surprise charges.
Do I need to do anything technical?
None at all. We are the team you would hire to handle the technical side of marketing, except cheaper, and run by one person who actually replies. You do not touch any settings, ever.
What if I already have a website?
If you have already got a website, we will migrate it over and keep your domain. Your old content stays, your pages stay, your URLs stay. Nothing breaks. We just make it faster and rebuild the bits that are not working.
How long until I see results?
Some things move quickly (Google profile improvements, missed-call recovery, more reviews) and some things take longer (search rankings, traffic). Most of our clients see noticeable improvement in the first month and bigger movement by month three.
Can I cancel?
Quick version: three months minimum, then cancel whenever you like by text. The website stays with you. No exit fees, no penalties, no admin charges.
