North America has established itself as the dominant region in the market. The region is expected to account for 40.2% of share in 2024 in the global pet sitting market. With the U.S. being the largest economy in the world, it comes as no surprise that it accounts for the lion's share of the North American pet sitting market. Low crime rates even in urban areas and high percentage of nuclear families have made pet ownership quite common. This, in turn, has boosted the demand for pet sitting services whenever owners need to travel for work or leisure. While multi-city pet care startups are witnessing steady growth, neighborhood-based individual pet sitters continue to be preferred for their personalized attention. The region also has a high concentration of skilled pet trainers who offer pet sitting as an additional service.

Asia Pacific represents the fastest growing regional market for pet sitting services. Especially in small-to-medium sized cities in countries like China, India, Vietnam and Indonesia, nuclear families are becoming more prominent which is translating to higher pet adoption. At the same time, instances of families relocating to other cities for better career prospects have increased. This has led to a surge in demand for reliable pet sitting services that can look after pets during owners' absence. A burgeoning expat community in major Asia Pacific cities like Singapore, Hong Kong and Bangkok has also boosted the market. While organized players have started to enter countries like China and India, the market remains highly fragmented with many small independent sitters and caretakers. However, with rising incomes and westernization of lifestyles, uptake of premium professional services is on the rise.
