Start for free today Every visit has a sitter
Assign each visit to one sitter or several. Lanes puts your team side by side for the day, and dragging a visit into another sitter’s lane hands it over. Anything nobody has picked up waits in its own Unassigned lane. Overnight stays hand off night by night, and each sitter’s schedule says whether it’s the first night, a middle night, or the last.

- Unassigned visits in a lane of their own
- Split an overnight stay between sitters, night by night
Pay that adds itself up
Set what each sitter earns per service, as a flat amount or a percentage of the price, plus their cut of extra-pet, weekend, holiday, and extended care fees. Overnights pay per night, for the nights each sitter actually stayed. Pick a pay period and Scritches totals it from the visits they did, splits each tip across the visits it was paid on, and flags any visit without a rate. Export the totals for your payroll, and download any past export again later.

- Overnights paid per night, to whoever stayed
- Tips split to the sitter who earned them
Each sitter sees what they need
Invite a sitter with a role. Staff see their own schedule and the clients on it, and start, finish, and send report cards for their visits. Senior staff can run the whole calendar and bookings, and Admins can do nearly everything. Your invoices and settings stay with you unless you make someone an Admin, and you can change a sitter’s role any time. Every sitter sees their own pay, never anyone else’s.
- Staff, Senior staff, and Admin roles
- Sitters see only their own visits and clients
- Invoices and settings stay with you
