The difference

Hiring care shouldn't feel like a second job.

Every other app hands you a directory and makes you do the work — at the exact moment you have none to spare.

😮‍💨 The old way

  • Post a job, then wait for applications to trickle in
  • Scroll dozens of profiles and vet strangers yourself
  • Chase references and verify background checks alone
  • Negotiate rates, then pay off-platform with no protection
  • Start all over again next time

🤍 The Tendcove way

  • Say what you need in one sentence — or one tap
  • We match you with a pre-vetted sitter, or your top 3
  • Every caregiver is ID & background verified before they're on Tendcove
  • One transparent price, paid securely in-app
  • Favorite them for one-tap rebooking forever
How it works

Three taps to a sitter at your door.

01

Tell us the need

Date night Saturday? Sick kid tomorrow? A sitter right now? Pick the occasion and describe your kids once — we remember the rest.

02

We match, you don't browse

Tendcove ranks every available, verified sitter by trust, distance and fit. Emergencies are auto-dispatched; date nights surface your top three.

03

Confirm & relax

One transparent price, paid in-app. Get a geofenced check-in the moment they arrive, live updates through the sit, and tap-to-review after.

Trust, by design

The bar for your kids is higher than a ride.

So we built trust into the product itself. Every skill a caregiver shows is tagged by how it was verified — you can read a sitter's trustworthiness in a single glance.

🛡️ ID match · criminal background · CPR & first-aid · re-checked on a cadence — plus in-app messaging, geofenced check-in, an emergency line, and active-booking insurance.

Care you'd trust with your own.

"Our sitter cancelled an hour before a wedding. Tendcove had a verified replacement at our door in fifteen minutes. I almost cried."

"I never see a list of strangers. I say what I need and get someone I'd already trust. That's the whole thing for me."

★★★★★

"The badges actually mean something. 'Infant care, confirmed by 40 families' is worth more than any bio I could read."

Good questions

The things parents ask first.

How are caregivers vetted? +
Before a sitter ever appears on Tendcove, we verify government ID, run a criminal background check, and confirm credentials like CPR and pediatric first aid. Checks are re-run on a regular cadence — not just once at signup. A caregiver can't receive a single request until they clear.
How fast can I actually get someone? +
For scheduled care like date nights, you'll have your top matches in under a minute. For "tonight" emergencies, we auto-dispatch the highest-ranked available sitter nearby — typically a confirmed match in around twelve minutes, depending on supply in your neighborhood.
How does pricing work? +
Tendcove sets one transparent, all-in price up front based on time, duration and the care needed — so there's no haggling and no surprise fees. You see exactly what the caregiver earns and what our service-and-safety fee covers before you confirm. Payment is held securely and only charged after check-out.
What happens during a booking? +
You get a geofenced check-in the moment your sitter arrives, in-app messaging and optional live updates through the sit, and a one-tap emergency line for both of you. Active bookings are covered by insurance. Afterward, a two-tap review keeps the whole community accountable.
Where is Tendcove available? +
We're launching neighborhood by neighborhood, starting in Brooklyn — Bed-Stuy, Bushwick and Clinton Hill first. We saturate one area before opening the next so there's always real sitter density. Join the early-access list and we'll tell you the moment we're live near you.

Your next night out is
one sentence away.
