I was not happy about having to pay a quarterly fee in order to communicate with the applicants. But in the end I was pleased to be able to communicate with all three. That made a huge difference for me! I now have a new housekeeper coming next week!

Not helpful
April 7, 2025

I joined yesterday and canceled yesterday. It took much of the day trying to get a sitter. Three individuals agreed and then canceled. Several recommended sitters did not meet the criteria with respect to their schedules parameters so I would start reviewing the profile only to discover that the individual did not work during the hours I requested. Finally the links to the sitter pages did not consistently work, "error, please try again later". The service is a great idea but it did not work for me.

Is this a legitimate site?
April 7, 2025

Pet sitters who have applied for boarding my dog do not respond back to me after I have contacted them. This makes me think Care. Com has taken my money, and there are no real pet sitters on their website. If sitter applied for job, why would they not contact me when I ask a simple question. This has occurred with more than one pet sitter. Website does say my message was delivered.

We booked a sitter a week out, and our first sitter cancelled on us. After re-posting our job, we found another sitter who was GREAT.
However, she left us a summary of her time here, and care.com can't share it with us because I don't have an iphone. I don't like that the sitter left us a summary for our benefit, and care.com withheld that from us simply because I don't have the right phone. I use the website for everything, and to not be able to access information that my sitter left is unacceptable.
