Frequently Asked Question
What kind of pets will I be caring for?
It varies! Most sits involve dogs or cats, but you may also find birds, rabbits, or other small animals. Each listing includes details about the pets, their routines, and what kind of care they need.
Can I choose where I want to sit?
Absolutely. You can filter opportunities by location, dates, and type of pet. Whether you want a countryside retreat or a city break, there’s something for every lifestyle.
How does Quays make sure sits are safe and genuine?
Every homeowner and sitter goes through ID verification and profile screening. You can also read transparent reviews from past stays, so you know exactly who you’re connecting with.

Our friendly UK-based support team is available 24/7. Whether you have a question, need help verifying a listing, or face an emergency, we’re always just a message away.
