We’re on a mission
To enable a global community of pet people to reimagine travel, prioritising the happiness of animals and reducing our environmental impact through pet caring and home sharing.
We’ve facilitated over 10 million nights of pet sitting, connecting thousands of pet parents and pet sitters worldwide through their mutual trust and love of animals. Operating across 140+ countries around the world, our community stands at 200,000+ members strong.
We enable pets and people to live their best possible lives: Pets stay happy at home, giving their pet parents newfound freedom to travel. Meanwhile, our sitters get to experience unique travel, create meaningful connections, and authentically embed themselves within the communities they visit.
As we grow our incredible community of pet people, we’re committed to doing it sustainably: without increasing our environmental impact, and driving forward positive change for the planet, people, and of course, their precious pets!

Planet
Our planet is our only home, but it’s not only ours. We share Earth with millions of other animals, many of which are already facing the impacts of climate change. For us, sustainability means finding ways to make positive and long-lasting impact across all areas of our business.
Our climate principles
Measure
We've been measuring our Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions since 2022, adapting operations to improve the data validity and drive meaningful reduction efforts.
Reduce
We've set 2023 as our baseline year and aim to drawdown the emissions we are responsible for, reducing our intensity emissions by 10% in 2024.
Evaluate
We’re continually evaluating our sustainability progress, learning and building the confidence to be bolder in our targets towards a low-carbon future.
A more sustainable way to travel
We enable people to travel more sustainably through sharing their homes. Staying in a residential home vs a hotel can reduce accommodation-related carbon emissions by up to 88% per night in the UK.
Pets
Pets are happiest at home - and vets agree! We want as many pets to stay safe and happy in the comforts of their own home, surrounded by all the sights, smells, and snuggle spots they know and love.
People
We're a people-first business with a Trusted Team of over 100 employees, working together remotely around the world to become the world's most-loved travel solution for pet people.
