Non-profit association: we take no cut on your dog or cat sitting.
Sitters from your own Lyon neighbourhood, not a stranger across town.
Your pet stays in its own home: the sitter drops by to feed, walk and cuddle it.
Beyond sitting, encourage meet-ups and socialising along the Rhône and in Lyon's parks.
We operate everywhere in Lyon :
Lyon lends itself wonderfully to life with a pet: the banks of the Rhône and the Parc de la Tête d'Or offer kilometres of walking, while Confluence and the Parc de Gerland round things out on the south side.
From the slopes of the Croix-Rousse to the traboules of Vieux-Lyon, housing mixes old buildings and flats where many cats live. A Lyon SmartSitter knows the best routes for the weather — shaded riverbanks along the Saône in summer, sheltered parks in winter — and adapts visits and outings accordingly.
Rates are set freely by each sitter. In Lyon the market sits slightly above the national average.
Open DogAround, activate the Lyon map and browse SmartSitters in your neighbourhood (Vieux-Lyon, Croix-Rousse, Presqu'île…). You contact the one that suits you directly.

No. DogAround is a non-profit association: we take no commission. You pay your sitter directly.
Around 15–24 € for a walk and 28–45 € for a night, depending on the sitter and the service. Each SmartSitter sets their own rates.
