SitSignal Guides

What clients should expect from a SitSignal dog walk

Booking a dog walk is about trust and transparency, not just exercise. A SitSignal walk gives you real-time visibility and a full record of your pet's care. Here's what to expect.

1. Real-time GPS tracking

You can see when the walk starts, watch the route as it happens, and know exactly how long your pet was walked. Tracking starts when the sitter leaves your home and runs for the full booked duration — no guesswork.

2. Full walk duration

Walks start at 30 minutes and extend in 15-minute increments. Expect the sitter to complete the entire booked time.

3. In-app activity logging

Sitters log key events during the walk:

  • Water breaks
  • Pee breaks
  • Poop breaks

This is especially useful for puppies, seniors, and pets with medical needs — you get a full record of activity.

4. Photos (up to 6 per walk)

Sitters can share up to six photos, usually a few clear shots, a happy walking photo, and confirmation your pet made it safely home.

5. Secure entry and exit

Professional sitters follow your House Profile exactly, use the correct entry method, secure all doors and gates, and return equipment where it belongs. The home should look exactly as it did before.

6. Clear communication

If you message during a walk, you should get a reply. Sitters communicate about weather, behavior changes, or schedule adjustments.

What makes SitSignal walks different

Typical services just text you when they're done. SitSignal gives you real-time GPS, structured event logs, photos inside the walk report, and clear duration records — accountability and documentation.
