Overview
SitterHub is a unified marketplace connecting families with vetted babysitters and dog sitters in their neighborhood. Parents and pet owners manage all their care bookings—kids and pets—through one platform instead of juggling multiple apps. The system handles sitter vetting, real-time availability, booking management, and integrated payments via Stripe, so families get reliable care coordination with transparent ratings and reviews.
Mission
