So, you need pet sitting, or how about kid sitting? Lots of people do. Because of that, Sittercity exists. It got its humble beginnings when founder Genevieve Thiers launched the company in 2001 by distributing 20 thousand fliers to over 12 major Boston-area colleges. She got a huge number of nannies to signup.

She saw a void and quickly put her plan in action. Today Sittercity is a huge company with a large database of around 150 thousand pet and people sitters. They won a ton of nationwide awards and are always featured in national publications.

When looking for a pet sitter or people sitter, you should definitely visit Sittercity!

On a side note, they also have a large database of house cleaning professionals and tutors!
