When am I charged?

What if I need to cancel?

Every booking has a free cancellation deadline, shown at checkout and in the booking details. If you cancel in the app before it, you can get your payment back or have it added to your Sittsy balance. After the deadline, the payment is not refunded.

What if the sitter cancels?

Sitters can cancel a confirmed booking only in an emergency. If a booking is cancelled because of the sitter, you get a full refund for the care that was not provided, including the Sittsy service fee.

What if something goes wrong during a booking?

Report it in the app or at support@sittsy.com before the sitter is paid, which is normally 24 hours after the booking ends. If the sitter did not provide the care as agreed, Sittsy can refund you in full or in part.
