Why You Should Review Your Sitter (And When to Leave a Tip)
After your booking ends, you’ll have the option to leave a review — and a tip.
Many clients skip this step, but taking two minutes to review your sitter helps more than you might realize.
Why Reviews Matter
Reviews do three important things:
- Help other pet parents choose with confidence
- Reward sitters who provide excellent care
- Improve overall platform quality
A detailed, honest review builds transparency across the community.
What Should You Include in a Review?
Helpful reviews often mention:
- Communication quality
- Timeliness
- Walk tracking accuracy
- Photo updates
- How your pet behaved afterward
Example:
“Great communication, detailed walk tracking, and lots of photos. Our dog came back happy and calm.”
Specific feedback is more helpful than just “Great sitter!”
When Should You Leave a Review?
Ideally, leave your review within 24–48 hours after the booking ends.
Fresh feedback is more accurate and more useful to future clients.
Should You Leave a Tip?
Tipping is optional — but appreciated.
Consider tipping when:
- Your sitter went above and beyond
- You received detailed updates and photos
- Your pet required extra patience or care
- It was a holiday booking
- You plan to rebook them
A tip is a direct way to show appreciation for exceptional service.
How Much Should You Tip?
There’s no required amount.
Many clients tip between 10%–20% for outstanding service, but any amount is appreciated.
Even small tips paired with a thoughtful review make a difference.
Why Reviews & Tips Strengthen the Community
When you review your sitter:
- Top performers rise to the top
- New sitters gain credibility
- Service standards stay high
When you tip:
- Sitters feel valued
- Retention improves
- You strengthen your relationship with that sitter
What If You Had an Issue?
If something didn’t go as expected:
- Be honest and constructive
- Stick to facts
- Contact support if necessary
Fair feedback helps improve the experience for everyone.
Final Thoughts
Reviews and tips are small actions that have a big impact.
They support transparency, reward professionalism, and help create a stronger pet care community.
If your sitter showed up, walked the full time, tracked the visit, uploaded photos, and secured your home — take a moment to let them know.
