What it covers: SitterRight support includes 24/7 help, secure payments, and secure messaging. Verified Basics is included with every profile.

Prices exclude applicable taxes, calculated at checkout by location.

When each person pays

The timing follows the moment each person makes a commitment.

Hosting

Host pays when sending the offer

The fee is refunded in full if the sitter declines or the offer expires after 72 hours.

Sitting

Sitter pays when confirming

Applying is free. The fee appears before the sitter accepts and confirms the offer.

Any fee is shown before you send or confirm an offer.

Two ways to sit

The same admin-configured booking fee applies either way.

Exchange

Most popular

A stay for thoughtful pet care

The sitter stays without accommodation cost and the host receives pet and home care. No sit payment changes hands.

  • ✓ Free to browse and apply
  • ✓ Same booking fee for each person
  • ✓ Secure planning and messaging

Cost: Booking fee only ($9.99–$29.99 per person)

Paid sit

Optional

Payment when the sit calls for it

A host can offer a daily rate. The sit payment is separate from each person’s booking fee, and the sitter keeps 90%.

  • ✓ Payment collected at sit start
  • ✓ Payout begins 48 hours after checkout
  • ✓ Stripe onboarding starts with the first paid offer

Cost: Booking fee per person, plus a service fee on the sit payment

When hosts might offer payment

Most sits are free exchanges. Payment is the exception, not the norm.

  • Urgent or last-minute requests
  • Remote or hard-to-reach locations
  • Multiple pets or special needs
  • Extended care requirements
  • High-demand holiday periods
  • Extra responsibilities involved

What you'd pay elsewhere

Other platforms charge an annual membership just to look around, or take a large cut of every paid booking. SitterRight takes neither.

Typical membership platform

$209–399/year

Charged before you book anything, plus per-sit fees on lower tiers.

SitterRight

$0/year

Just $9.99–$29.99 per confirmed booking. Sitters keep 90% on paid sits.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Creating an account, browsing listings, and applying to sits is completely free. Unlike platforms charging $209–399/year for combined host and sitter membership, SitterRight lets you be both with no membership fee — you only pay a booking fee when a sit is confirmed.

No subscription required

Pay for a real booking, not permission to look.
