Olive Sitter

What Olive Sitter does

Olive Sitter is a Tokyo-based pet care services company operating as a veterinary-supervised pet sitting provider serving urban Japanese pet owners. The company was established around 2021 (per copyright notice) and offers a tiered suite of services: basic pet sitting (from ¥5,390/60 min), long-duration sitting for pets uncomfortable being left alone, two-person teams for multi-pet households, transport and accompaniment to veterinary clinics and grooming salons, household chores, puppy counseling, and specialized nursing care for senior or bedridden pets. The company operates six branch locations across Tokyo (Azabu headquarters, Yoyogi-Koen, Nakano-Suginami), Yokohama, Funabashi, and Sapporo, plus a dedicated OLIVE WEDDING sub-brand for pet-inclusive wedding ceremonies and photo weddings. All sitters are female with disclosed qualifications, and staff profiles are pre-shared with clients before each booking.

The service architecture is built on what the company describes as industry-first veterinary behavioral science supervision, with a dedicated veterinary doctor on staff and partnerships with animal hospitals for clinical coordination. No proprietary technology platform is disclosed; operations rely on standard communication channels including a phone line (050-1809-1320, 9:00-18:00), the LINE Official Account for 24-hour reservations and daily pet reports, and website contact forms. The company carries liability insurance and emphasizes privacy controls and 24/7/365 support.

Commercially, Olive Sitter runs a direct-to-consumer model with usage-based pricing as the primary revenue stream, supplemented by a subscription-based Regular Use Service (¥4,840/60 min monthly) and prepaid Time Tickets. Marketing is multi-channel, combining LINE coupon campaigns, SEO-driven pet care blog content, YouTube customer testimonials, and earned media including a February 2026 appearance on TBS's 'Sakurai Ariyoshi THE Night Meeting.' Pricing is publicly disclosed and was revised effective December 1, 2025, indicating active commercial optimization across the service tiers.

Recent moves6 records

Direct peers

• Rover: Global pet care marketplace connecting pet owners with sitters and dog walkers. Directly comparable business model (in-home pet sitting) and comparable target customer base of pet owners seeking trusted, vetted caregivers.
• TrustedHousesitters: Global house- and pet-sitting membership platform. Competes in the same in-home pet sitting space with a different monetization model (membership) but overlapping value proposition for traveling pet owners.
• Wag!: On-demand pet care platform offering dog walking, pet sitting, and boarding services. While US-based and tech-led, Wag! competes in the same in-home pet sitting category and represents the digital-enabled direction Olive Sitter could evolve toward.
• PetBacker: Asia-Pacific pet care marketplace operating across Japan and other APAC countries. Closest direct competitor given the regional overlap and similar marketplace/sitter-matching model.
• Pawshake: International pet sitting and dog walking marketplace. Direct comparable business model and target customer; relevant as a benchmark for how digital marketplace models compete with premium boutique operators like Olive Sitter.

Broad incumbents

• Aeon Pet (Aeon Co.): Major Japanese pet retailer and care operator (grooming, training, hotels) under the Aeon retail conglomerate. Broad incumbent with overlapping pet services; represents a potential strategic acquirer or competitor with significant distribution.
• Anicom Holdings: Japan's largest pet insurance company with adjacent pet care services including veterinary clinics. A broad incumbent with overlapping pet wellness and trust credentials; could expand into in-home sitting as a natural extension.
• PetPlus (ペットプラス): Japan-based pet care chain offering daycare, grooming, and sitting facilities. Adjacent incumbent focused on facility-based rather than in-home care; represents the alternative service model that Olive Sitter differentiates against.
• Pets at Home (UK): UK-based omnichannel pet care retailer offering grooming, vet services, and pet care products. Relevant as a benchmark for an integrated pet care ecosystem model that Olive Sitter could evolve toward.

Regional players

• DogHuggy: Japanese in-home pet sitting service primarily serving the Tokyo region. Regional peer offering similar in-home pet care with comparable pricing tier; directly competitive in Olive Sitter's home market.
