What family and pet care services cover

These are the bookings you make for someone else: a sitter for the evening, a tutor for the term ahead, a groomer who makes the dog bearable again. Every profile carries reviews written by customers whose booking was completed, so you can judge a person on their record before anyone comes to your door.

Childcare and babysitting covers a few hours on a weeknight, a regular after-school slot, or a full day in the school break. Tutoring runs from elementary reading and math through high-school science and test prep, in person or at your kitchen table. Pet grooming covers baths, full grooms, nail trims and de-shedding for dogs and cats. Every family and pet care pro near you is rated only by customers whose booking was completed, and you can save the one you liked and rebook them directly next time.

    Reviews from completed bookings

What customers say once the job is done

  • Verified booking reviews only

    Only a customer whose appointment was completed can leave one, so the first review here will come from a real job.

  • Written after the job

    Ratings appear as soon as the work is finished and the customer has had their say.

  • Never editable by the pro

    Professionals can reply to a review, but they cannot remove or rewrite it.

Questions about family and pet care services

How do you check childcare and tutoring professionals?

Not in the way the question implies, and this is worth being blunt about: we do not run criminal background checks, identity checks or licence checks on anyone listed here, including babysitters and tutors. What we do is narrower — a business account can submit registration documents for an administrator to review, which earns a Verified Business badge, and every review on a profile comes from a booking that was completed. Read the reviews, look at how long someone has been on the platform, ask for references and check them yourself, and meet anyone who will be alone with your child before the first booking.

How much does a babysitter or tutor charge?

Both are usually hourly, and each professional sets and publishes their own rate. Sitting commonly runs $15–$30 an hour and tutoring $25–$60 depending on the subject and level; the exact rate is on the profile.

Can I book the same person again?

Yes. Save a professional to your favorites and book them directly next time — for childcare, tutoring and grooming, most customers end up with one person they keep going back to.
