PetSitting is a modern, clean pet-sitting website template. If you want to create an online presence for your walking, daycare, grooming, and other pet and animal services, PetSitting is your site canvas. Pair the design with your own pet photos and add your creative touch to engage every visitor. Out of the box, PetSitting also creates a friendly atmosphere and saves you time and effort.

The template has nine pages (home, about, vet, services, gallery, pricing, blog, single post and contact). Other features include parallax effects, animated statistics, testimonial sliders, on-scroll content loading, pricing plans and appointment forms. You can also show off a photo gallery, start a blog, and show your location on a click-to-load map. Promote your pet-sitting services with the PetSitting template.

What’s new in 3.0

• Swiper 14 replaces Swiper 11, PhotoSwipe 5 replaces GLightbox, the video opens in a dialog that loads Vimeo only after a click, and a small reveal module replaces animate.css. The Sass source ships again (the 2.0 download left it out), and npm run build compiles one minified stylesheet and one script.
• Lighter pages: the home page went from 2.3 MB and 37 requests to 1.5 MB and 34 requests, and the contact page from 1.7 MB and 21 requests to 790 KB and 14 requests. Photos are AVIF with the JPEG as the fallback, and the download went from 9.2 MB to 6.9 MB.
• No third-party requests at load: Montserrat is self-hosted, Font Awesome and Flaticon are replaced by SVG icons and a five-logo social subset, the contact map (OpenStreetMap, no API key) loads only when the visitor clicks Show map, and Google Analytics is a commented-out snippet. Before, the analytics placeholder loaded Google’s script on every page.
• Working forms: the appointment and contact forms send through includes/send-email.php, with validation and a status message, and the blog comment form validates and thanks the visitor.
• Accessibility: a skip link, labelled form fields, names on icon-only links, image overlays that open on keyboard focus, and WCAG AA text contrast, with a darker green on text and buttons.
• Fixed: the Beagle and Pug gallery cards had no photo, the about-page testimonials were five stacked cards instead of a slider, the blog, breadcrumb and FAQ icons were blank, and the about and pricing appointment forms asked for a “Vehicle number”.
• No full-screen preloader, the counters count up when scrolled into view, the contact page shows a map instead of a blank gap, and every page has its own title and description.
