Are the sitters vetted?

Yes. Every SitterNation sitter completes identity verification, a safety course with a quiz, and a profile review by the SitterNation team before they can accept bookings. Reviews come from pet owners after completed bookings.

Can I book instantly?

Not yet. You send a booking request with your dates; the sitter accepts (most offer a meet-and-greet first) and you pay securely in the app. Our sitters are in the Chicago suburbs today, and we are expanding to new metros.
