Find a pet sitter recommended by someone you know
The person caring for your pet is stepping into your home and taking responsibility for someone you love. A recommendation from a person you trust can mean more than a page of anonymous ratings.
REC'D BY helps you build a trusted pet-care roster through the people you already know.

Ask your village once — keep the answer
Instead of losing “You should use our sitter!” in an old text thread, REC'D BY keeps recommendations connected to the person who made them.
Save trusted sitters, see who your connections recommend, and keep the people you rely on close at hand for the next trip, long workday, or last-minute change of plans.
Care information in the same place
Keep the information a sitter needs with the place and pet they're caring for: routines, notes, household details, and care instructions can stay organized instead of being rebuilt every time.

Pet care the way it actually happens
Pet sitting and drop-ins
Someone to stop by, feed, and check in while you're out — or stay with your pets while you're away.
Walks
A regular walker for the long workdays, booked the same way as everything else.
Boarding
When your pet stays at the sitter's home, their details go with them.
One sitter may already be part of your village
Many caregivers sit for children and pets, help multiple households, or are already known by friends and neighbors. REC'D BY makes those overlapping real-world relationships useful.
Questions
Can I use REC'D BY for pet sitting and babysitting?+
Yes. The same sitter can care for your kids, your pets, or both, and each booking says what kind of care it is.
Where do my pet's routines go?+
Each pet has its own profile with routines, notes, and care instructions. When you book a sitter, the details they need for that booking go with it.
