Product

UrbanSitter allows parents to find and book a trusted sitter in minutes. This is the ideal market for leveraging the social graph because endorsements from friends are so important.

It shouldn’t take two minutes to book a dinner reservation and days to find a sitter. Our real time booking engine closes that gap. UrbanSitter launched beta in San Francisco in July. We have already had over 300 bookings in just a few weeks. Try it at urbansitter.com.
