Scheduling Fees

$10 nonrefundable scheduling fee for each confirmed appointment.
Recurring Weekly Services
Recurring services take place on the same day and time each week, allowing sitters to reserve that slot specifically for your family. This consistency helps maintain dependable weekly support and ensures long-term stability whenever possible.
Recurring monthly rates, billed at the beginning of each month:
1 day per week: $30/month
2 days per week: $45/month
3 days per week: $60/month
4 days per week: $75/month
5 days per week: $100/month
These recurring rates offer savings compared to paying the standard $10 scheduling fee for each individual sitting. Requests to shift your recurring day or time—such as selecting a different day, adding an additional weekly day, or modifying your scheduled time—are billed at the standard $10 scheduling fee per request.
Cancellations made less than 48 hours before any sitting appointment incur a $25 fee, paid directly to the sitter
Enjoy your time away!
After we match you with a sitter, the primary contact on your account will receive sitter details 24+ hours before your appointment.
You’ll meet a sitter who’s been thoroughly vetted, interviewed, and selected with your family in mind.
Payments are made directly to your sitter after the appointment. Tips are optional but always appreciated.
