Can I speak with, message or meet a Sitter before booking?

We totally understand that meeting a Sitter before the actual booking brings peace of mind. You’re not alone in this!

• Why not schedule a one-hour get-together while you’re at home? When making a request, just pop a note in the ‘Special Instructions’ letting the Sitter know you’d like a little meet and greet. Many Parents do this with a few Sitters and then add them to their favorites for easy future bookings.
  
  
• Need a Sitter for a specific date? No problem! When making a request for that date, just ask in the 'Special Instructions' for the Sitter to be available for a meet-up in the evening or weekend before the sit. Easy as that!
  
  
• You're also welcome to send a message to a Sitter through the app to set up a meeting time. If the vibe isn’t right, no worries at all. You can easily cancel the reservation and start fresh with a new request.
