Frequently Asked Questions
Is SitterRight free to join?
Yes! Creating an account, browsing listings, and applying to sits is completely free. Unlike other platforms that charge $209-$399/year for combined owner + sitter membership, SitterRight lets you be both with no membership fees. You only pay a small booking fee when you confirm a sit.
When do I pay the booking fee?
The booking fee is charged to both the host and sitter when a sit is confirmed. This applies to all sits - both free exchanges and paid arrangements. The fee ranges from $9.99 to $29.99 per person based on the sit duration.
What's the difference between free and paid sits?
In a free exchange, sitters receive free accommodation in return for pet care - no money changes hands. In paid sits, owners offer additional compensation to sitters. Both types require the same booking fee, but paid sits also have a 10% service fee on the payment amount.
How much can I save compared to other platforms?
If you want to be both a host and sitter, other platforms charge $209-$399/year for their combined membership (plus $12/sit on lower tiers!). With SitterRight, you pay $0/year membership and just $9.99-$29.99 per booking. That's savings of up to $399 per year before you even start sitting!
