Pet sitting
Fenn & Fetch Pet Sitting
"Happy Pets, Happy Hearts" beside a happy dog, with a meet-and-greet button and "background checked" under it.
Done by AI · not an agency
Pet sitter website design by AI, for sitters and dog walkers.
Brief Zarla the way you'd brief a web designer. Its AI designs your site in about 30 seconds, with call buttons and a quote form, then adds pages for the services and neighborhoods you list, up to your plan's page limit. No sales call, no 8-week build.
Your brief: add your town

Sample designs
Looks like a $5,000 agency website. Judge for yourself.
Six Zarla designs, shown for made-up pet businesses, from drop-in visits to daycare. Start from one and the AI rewrites it around yours, or let your brief decide.
In-home visits
Winnowbrook Pet Sitting
A cat on the rug, the visit count and the Google stars in a tidy grid, for the sitter who visits pets in their own homes.
Dog walking
Pinewhistle Dog Walking
The neighborhoods it walks above the headline, the same walker every day and three dogs at most, for the walker with a regular route.
Cat sitting
Quillmere Cat Sitting
"Cats hate travel and hate boarding. We come to them." under an oversized serif, for the sitter who looks after cats.
In-home boarding
Plumwick Home Dog Boarding
A dog asleep on the sofa and "no kennels or crates, three guest dogs at most", for the sitter whose home is the kennel.
Daycare & boarding
Rookhaven Dog Daycare
A dog in the field and a form that books a free assessment day and asks your dog's name, breed and age.
The checklist
What every pet sitting website needs
Six things a pet sitting website needs to win the booking, each shown on one of Zarla's pet care designs.
- 01
A quote form that asks about the pets
How many pets and where you'd be going turn a vague message into a visit you can price.
- 02
Insured and background-checked, said first
Clients are handing you their keys and their pets. Insured, bonded and background-checked belong in the first screen, before your prices.
- 03
A photo after every visit
Owners who are away want to know their pet is fine. Promise a photo and a note after every visit, and say it where they look first.
- 04
The neighborhoods you cover
Dog walkers work a route, not a whole city. Naming the neighborhoods you walk tells an owner straight away whether you come to them.
- 05
A meet-and-greet as the first step
Nobody hands a stranger their keys after one click. A meet-and-greet as the main button gives a nervous owner a first step that feels safe.
- 06
How many pets you take
Owners picture a crowded kennel. "Three guest dogs at most" answers the worry in five words.
Process and turnaround
How it works, and how long each step takes
For comparison, from the pages of web designers who build pet business sites: 3–5 days for a one-page site once your content is in at a pet design studio, about 4 weeks at a pet-only web agency, and 6–8 weeks at a pet-business web designer.
- About a minute
1. The brief
Finish one sentence about your pet business: the care you offer and where.
- About 30 seconds
2. First design
Zarla's AI designs your home page with call buttons and a quote form, then adds pages for your services (drop-in visits, dog walking, overnight stays, boarding) and the neighborhoods you cover, up to your plan's page limit.
- As long as you like
3. Change it
Click any section to swap in photos of the pets you look after. Or type it: "add a page for cat sitting."
- The same day
4. Launch
Publish on a Premium or Business plan and connect your domain.
What's included
What you get from your first brief
- The design. Layout, colors, fonts and photos picked for a pet sitting business.
- The words. Headlines, service descriptions and FAQs written from your brief. Edit any of it.
- Service and area pages. Pages for the care you offer (drop-ins, walks, overnights, boarding) and the neighborhoods you cover.
- Quote request form. Your client tells you about their pets and the dates, and it lands in your leads inbox, with an email alert. Customers can attach up to five photos of the job to the form, so you can often price it from the photos instead of a site visit. The form doesn't work out a price for you — you read the request and quote it yourself. Then send your quote from Zarla as one link: the customer accepts it online, and Zarla drafts the invoice for what they chose.
- Tap-to-call buttons. On every page, for the owner who'd rather talk it through first.
- Google groundwork. Titles, descriptions, business markup and a sitemap on every page, and fast pages on phones.
- Your Google reviews and listing. Connect your Business Profile and your rating, reviews and map show on the site.
- Hosting on Google Cloud, with SSL. Nothing to set up.Premium
- Your own domain. Connect the one you have or buy one inside Zarla.Premium

The honest part
What an agency does that Zarla doesn't
Zarla does the design part of an agency's job with AI. Here's what you'd still be paying people for.
- A strategy call about your market and your competitors
- Original photos of your team, vans and jobs. Zarla uses your photos or stock.
- Copy written from interviewing you. Zarla writes from your brief, and you edit it.
- Monthly SEO campaigns, link building and ranking reports
- Running your Google Ads and Local Services Ads
- One named person accountable, on the phone
- Custom features beyond Zarla's sections

Browse Zarla partners →Questions pet sitting businesses ask
Is Zarla a web design agency?
No. Zarla is AI. It does the design part of an agency's job, the layout, words, pages and forms, from a one-sentence brief. There's no designer on the other end. If you want a person for marketing or SEO, Zarla partners are independent agencies and freelancers who work on Zarla sites.
How much does pet sitter website design cost?
Web designers who publish prices for pet sitting and dog walking sites charge $725 for a one-page site (plus two years of required hosting) to $7,600 and up for a custom one with branding, or $249 a month for a managed site. Designing and previewing on Zarla is free; you choose a Premium or Business plan when you publish.
What should a pet sitting website have?
A way to book a meet-and-greet or ask for a quote in the first screen, your services and prices, that you're insured and background-checked, the neighborhoods you cover, photos of the pets you look after, and your reviews. Zarla adds service and area pages from your brief, up to your plan's page limit. Customers can attach up to five photos of the job to the form, so you can often price it from the photos instead of a site visit. The form doesn't work out a price for you — you read the request and quote it yourself.
How long does a pet sitting website take?
Web designers who publish timelines quote from 3–5 days for a one-page site, once your content is in, to 6–8 weeks for a custom pet business site. Zarla's first design takes about 30 seconds; after your changes, you can publish the same day on a paid plan.
Can clients book visits online?
Yes. Zarla's online booking lets clients pick a time on your website; bookings sync to Google Calendar, and you can take a deposit or full payment through your own Stripe account.
Can one website cover pet sitting and dog walking?
Yes. One site with a page for each service works better than two sites: pet sitting, dog walking and boarding are different searches, and each page can show its own prices. Type "add a page for dog walking" and the AI builds it.
I already have a pet sitting website. Can I move it?
Yes. Zarla keeps your old page addresses where it can and redirects the ones that change, helping you keep the Google standing you've built.
