Big platforms like Rover and Wag take 20-40% of every booking. Sitters lose income, pet owners pay inflated prices. Sitter Rank flips the model. Pet owners search by zip code, read verified reviews, and book directly. No middleman fees. Verified profiles with background check badges. Reviews only from completed bookings. Built-in booking management and calendar. Client CRM for sitters. Free tier, Pro $15/mo, Premium $29/mo. Sitters keep 100% of what they earn.







Hey Product Hunt! I built Sitter Rank because I saw how much independent pet sitters struggle with big platforms taking 20-40% of every booking.
My dog walker mentioned she was losing hundreds per month to platform fees. She had loyal clients who'd happily book directly, but there was no good way to manage that - collect reviews, handle scheduling, stay discoverable to new clients.
So I built Sitter Rank. It's a platform where sitters own their profiles, collect real reviews, and get found by local pet owners searching by zip code. No per-booking commissions. Sitters pay a flat subscription (or use the free tier) and keep everything they earn.
The tech stack is Next.js, PostgreSQL, and Stripe for subscriptions. I focused on making the sitter onboarding dead simple - you can have a profile live in under 5 minutes.
Would love your feedback on the product and the business model. What would make you switch from Rover/Wag?
Do you plan to introduce the pet sitting credits that you can earn for sitting other peoples' pets?
@vlad_grankovsky I am not sure I am following what you mean. I think I want to keep this super simple, just pet owners looking for pet sitters and pet sitter setting up profiles and not losing 40% of their fee to the platform. How do you see the credit system working?
