Pet Sitting Market by Pet, Application - Global Forecast 2025-2030

List of Tables

The Pet Sitting Market was valued at USD 23.99 billion in 2023, expected to reach USD 25.68 billion in 2024, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.54%, to USD 39.91 billion by 2030.

The pet sitting market encompasses a range of services designed to care for pets while their owners are unavailable, including in-home pet sitting, boarding, feeding, walking, and grooming. It is geographically and demographically diverse, with heightened demand in urban areas where pet ownership is high and time constraints are significant. The necessity for pet sitting services is driven by rising pet ownership trends, busy owner lifestyles, and increased awareness about pet welfare, spurring the adoption of professional pet care solutions. Technological advancements in pet care, like GPS-enabled activity trackers and real-time video cameras, are actively utilized applications to ensure pet security and owner peace of mind. End-use consumers range from individuals with multiple or exotic pets requiring special care to elderly pet owners needing assistance. Key growth factors include the increasing number of dual-income households, willingness to spend on pet care, and the rapidly growing millennial and Gen Z pet owner segment, who prioritize quality life for their pets. Emerging opportunities lie in personalized services and subscription-based plans, while the integration of pet sitting apps with smart home systems presents a potential market disruptor. Limitations include market saturation in urban regions and economic downturns impacting discretionary spending on pet care. Furthermore, regulatory requirements on pet services can be challenging for market entry. Innovations could focus on AI-driven pet health and behavior monitoring, synergies between pet-friendly accommodations, and pet-sitter certification programs to boost credibility and trust. The market's nature is competitive yet fragmented, with both global players and local enterprises coexisting, offering scope for strategic partnerships and consolidation. As the demand for personalized, on-demand services rises, companies that leverage digital platforms effectively, emphasize pet sitter training, and focus on customer experience will likely gain a competitive edge.
