Launch Journey

We're good at building software—but we weren't doing a great job explaining why Global Pet Sitter exists. Your feedback changed that. Instead of focusing on what's wrong with other platforms, we're now putting all our energy into clearly showing what we believe in. Here's how we turned honest critique into sharper messaging and a clearer mission.

Global Pet Sitter is built by two pet-loving developers from Belgium—one a decade-long housesitter, the other a longtime couchsurfer. We're independent, investor-free, and building the platform we wished existed. Here's who we are, why we started this, and how we're approaching trust.

We've been busy. Over the holidays, we shipped a map-based sitter search, dual sitter/owner accounts, privacy controls, and an early adopter rewards program. Here's what's live now—and what's landing next, including our upcoming iPhone app.
