"Rachel has been my pet sitter for over 10 years. She walks our dogs more than we do, and we always come back to our home cleaner than we left it. Truly compassionate and trustworthy."

FAQ

Questions we get a lot.

If you don't see your question here, just reach out — we're happy to chat.

Your Sidekick is a dedicated personal assistant who handles the logistics of daily life. From grocery runs, dry cleaning, and car care to event planning, pet sitting, travel bookings, and vendor coordination. Think of them as the person who quietly makes sure everything gets done so you don't have to think about it.

Gig platforms give you a different person every time with no continuity. With Sidekick, you get one dedicated human who learns your preferences, anticipates your needs, and owns the outcome. No briefing strangers, no juggling multiple vendors — just one trusted partner who knows you.

Most services are billed at $50/hr with no long-term contracts. Childcare scouting is a flat $300 fee, background checks included. For Special Request Services, we'll put together a custom quote. When your Sidekick books something on your behalf, you pay those vendor costs directly — no markups.

Yes. When your Sidekick makes a reservation, purchases tickets, books a hotel, or buys supplies, you pay those vendor costs directly at face value. Sidekick charges only for the coordination time — no markups, ever.

For a flat $300 fee, Sidekick sources and vets nanny and babysitter candidates, coordinates availability and interviews, and handles all the back-and-forth. Background checks are included. Once a candidate is placed, the caregiver's ongoing pay is handled directly between you and them.

Anything that doesn't fit neatly into our standard categories — newborn nursery setup, personal admin support, researching therapists or contractors, comparing quotes. If you're not sure, just submit a request and describe what you need.

Every Sidekick is background-checked, interviewed, and carefully matched to each client. We look for people who are trustworthy, proactive, discreet, and genuinely great at managing life's details.

We're currently based in the Bay Area and actively growing. If you're outside our current service area, reach out anyway — we're expanding and want to know where the demand is.

Submit a request and we'll be in touch within 24 hours. Most clients are up and running within a week.

Once you're set up, we'll give you a direct number to text or call. No AI, no bots — just a real person you can reach directly.
