Safety is at the centre of what we do. Before a sitters profile can go live on the app we verify a sitters identity (via passport or drivers licence), we check they hold a valid Working with children check/blue card, we ensure they hold First Aid and CPR certification, and we check two references.

We take extensive measures to verify the authenticity of references, even if not all referees are spoken to in person. This includes cross-referencing contact information and verifying details like employment dates.
You pay the sitter through the app - no more trying to work out what you owe on your way home, or rummaging through your bag checking you have enough cash!

The booking fee and cost of the sit are paid during confirmation. The cost of the sit refundable as long as the booking is cancelled more than 48 hours prior to the sit start time. If you and the sitter agree to extend the sit the app will calculate the extra cost.
