Pet Sitter Schema Markup

Definition

Detailed: (1) Use schema.org/LocalBusiness with additionalType set to a relevant niche descriptor — there is no native PetSitter type in Schema.org; (2) Populate hasOfferCatalog with individual service items: dog boarding, cat sitting, small animal care, house sitting, dog walking; (3) Add areaServed as an array of neighbourhoods or postcodes covered, especially important for hyper-local pet-sitting searches; (4) sameAs links to NARPS UK member directory, Pet Business Insurance provider, and DEFRA licensing page reinforce regulatory trust signals for crawlers; (5) AggregateRating schema on the homepage leverages the typically high review volumes that pet sitters accumulate.

Why it matters for SEO

Clear schema helps Google understand the business type and service coverage, improving local pack eligibility and enabling rich results that differentiate professional sitters from informal platforms like Rover.
