I need a sitter I want to help (and earn)

How it works

For Parents

  1. 1

    Post your flight number, route, and how many hours you need help

  2. 2

    Set a suggested tip (e.g. $25/hr) — sitters see this upfront

  3. 3

    Review sitter profiles and approve the best fit

  4. 4

    Tip is held in escrow — released only after the flight

For Sitters

  1. 1

    Browse open requests filtered by destination and dates

  2. 2

    Apply to requests on flights you're already planning — or book around a good opportunity

  3. 3

    Get approved by the parent, then upload your flight confirmation

  4. 4

    Help during the flight, get rated, receive your tip

Earn on flights you're already taking

A 14-hour Tokyo flight can net $200+ in tips — real money for budget travelers.

Post weeks in advance

Early requests give sitters time to book the same flight, maximizing your match chance.

Escrow protects both sides

Payment only charged when sitter uploads flight confirmation. Full refund if they cancel.
