SitList is building a referral-based platform that helps families manage trusted child and pet care—without expensive stranger marketplaces.

Existing care platforms prioritize marketplace scale over trust and affordability—creating financial strain and anxiety for families.
Average child & pet sitting costs in major U.S. cities
Regular care is out of reach for middle-class families
Care coordination lives across texts, group chats, Venmo
No centralized system
Parents already rely on people they know
But existing apps push stranger-based hiring
Premium-priced platforms
Don’t serve middle-income households
Parents invite sitters they already trust. Friends, neighbors, teens, coworkers, referrals. No strangers assigned.
Families set rates they’re comfortable with. Sitters maintain flexibility. Affordable, transparent care.
Babysitting, Pet sitting, Dog walking, House check-ins. All in one app.
Individual and group messaging. Ideal for shared care pods. Real-time coordination.
Hours, invoices, and payments tracked. No manual spreadsheets or Venmo confusion.
iOS & Android. Works in urban, suburban, and rural markets. No need to seed sitter supply by zip code.
Millions of middle-class families are priced out of traditional care. SitList unlocks this demand by enabling trusted, lower-cost care through existing relationships.
SitList is not competing on price—it’s competing on trust, control, and community.
