Cancellations

The cancellation fee applies to sits cancelled within the last 24 hours before the start of a scheduled sit. 100% of this fee is passed on to the sitter to compensate for lost hours.

We do not issue refunds for placement fees once a sitter has been assigned. However, we will refund your placement fee if we are unable to find you a sitter or if you need to cancel your request before one has been found.

Overnight Rates (Babysitting)

Sitters should be paid the hourly rate for the time children are awake plus $100 for sleeping time.

If children are in school during the overnight stay and the sitter is responsible to be available to pick them up in case of illness/school closure, the sitter should be paid for those hours as well.

Transportation Fees

Transportation fees only refer to any time a sitter is actively transporting your children from point A to point B.

For pet sitters, transportation fees only refer to any time a sitter is actively transporting your pets from point A to point B (at your request).

Families will be contacted by 6pm if no sitter is available for the next day's sit.
