Common questions

When will I get clients?: We expect to open in San Diego within 1⁠–⁠2 months. Until then you’re on the waitlist, and nothing is booked or charged. We’ll email you before we launch.
What does it cost?: It’s free to join and there’s no monthly fee. You keep 100% of the rate you set, and clients pay a 15% service fee on top. On a $50 visit, you get $50 and your client pays $57.50.
Do I need a background check?: Yes, every sitter is checked before their first booking. It costs $35. We take it from your earnings, never more than 50% of any one booking, so you don’t pay anything up front.
Can I keep sitting through other apps?: Yes. Clients you met through another app may be covered by that app’s terms, so only invite clients you found on your own.
Why do you want my phone number?: So we can text you about your application and when we launch, but only if you check the box. We don’t show it to anyone.
