Can I meet the person prior to booking them to stay in my home?

Hi Mary:

Currently, you do have to enter dates to make a request. However, you can state in your message that you aren't sure of the future dates, but want to meet the sitter prior to you needing them. This isn't out of the ordinary, at least with my experience. Many sitters do require a Meet & Greet prior to any of the services they offer, so it is good that you want one too.

Good Luck!
