Background-checked
Real stories from families, parents, and pet owners across the SOSitter community.
“A few months ago I was going on vacation and my friend’s daughter got sick my usual sitters were all unavailable. Having SOSitter would have been a life saver. I’m so excited for the app and will certainly be telling my network!”
Parent
“So grateful that an app like SOSitter is going to be on the market. When I was pregnant with my son, there were times I needed to go to a last-minute OB appointment but had nobody to watch my 2 year old. This is going to be a lifesaver!”
Expecting parent
“As someone who travels regularly for work, finding reliable care for my dog has always been stressful until I heard about SOSitter.com. Local sitters who are verified, reviewed, and clearly love animals, readily accessible for hire.”

Hi, I’m Mackenzie Hart, founder of SOSitter. For over a decade, I’ve dedicated myself to caring for children, pets, and the elderly. Over time, the families I’ve worked with have become part of my family, and I’ve often been embraced as one of theirs. For me, caregiving has never just been a job it’s a calling rooted in love, trust, and community.
