Reviews on your Sittercity profile highlight your experience as a caregiver and act as a personal recommendation from families. Sitters with a review on their profile are 5x more likely to be viewed by local families on the site.
On Sittercity, you can request a review from a family in two ways:
1. Share your unique review link with families
Any family you’ve worked with—not just families on Sittercity—will be able to leave you a review using your review link.
- From your sitter dashboard, select Request Review.
- Tap the Share Review Link button, and your one-time link will automatically be copied to your clipboard.
- Paste the copied link in a text message thread, email, or your preferred channel to share with the family you’d like a review from. You may edit the message before sending, or send it as is.
- Send your request!
When a parent clicks on the link you’ve shared, they will be directed to the Sittercity website where they can leave a rating and review for you.
2. Request a review on Sittercity
- On your sitter dashboard, select Request Review.
- Tap the Request on Sittercity button.
- On the next page, select the parent(s) you’d like a review from. Click Show More to see more parents you’ve connected with, or type a parent’s name in the search box to find and add them to your list.
- Once you’ve made your selection, tap Request Review.
The parents you have selected will receive an email from Sittercity with a review request for you.
If you're using the iOS app, you can find both review request options from the Profile tab. Tap the icon at the top right of the screen to generate your unique review link and send to families.
