Plant Sitters

The app · for plant owners and plant sitters

Every plant. Every visit. In one app.

Make a care card for each plant, book a checked local sitter at a price you see first, and get a dated photo of every plant at every visit. Sitting for others? Your visits, their care and your pay are in the same app.

Point your camera at a plant. Get its care card.

Crop the photo and the app suggests what the plant likely is, with care to match. Change anything. Each plant gets a care card: where it lives, its light, when and how much to water, and when your sitter should message you.

Pick your dates. The price is already there.

Choose the days you're away and how many visits. The price per visit is set by how many plants you have, and you see the total before you send the request. No surge, no bidding. You pay in the app through Stripe, never in cash.

Example request.

iii

Meet first. Agree on the care in writing.

Our team matches you with a sitter near you. Their profile shows their ID and live-selfie check, a verified phone, our approval, their sits and ratings, and their own words. You meet before the first visit. Then they write a care plan for your plants, and nothing starts until you confirm it.

Care plan from Maya

  1. Calathea: feel the top 2 cm first. Filtered water from the jug only.
  2. Fern by the bath: mist each visit, keep the door open.
  3. Key from the lockbox, back in it when I leave.

Examples. Real sitters show their own photo.

iv

A dated photo of every plant, every visit.

You get a notice when your sitter starts a visit. Each plant gets its own photo, with the location stripped out, and a line on what they did: watered, no water needed, or a note. It all lands in your feed, each photo stamped with the date and time.

Something changed? Edit a plant's care mid-sit. Your sitter confirms it before their next visit. Questions go in messages, not texts to a stranger.

Back home, it keeps working.

Review the trip, say how each plant did, and book the same sitter again in one tap. Between trips the app is your plants' field guide.

  • Care log One tap on a plant's card when you water it, so the next sitter knows.
  • Watering reminder One a day, if you want it, listing what's due. It pauses while plants are on a sit.
  • Identify a plant From a photo, any plant, yours or not.
  • Houseplant quiz Ten photos. Learn the plants you live with.

For sitters: your visits, their care, your pay.

Apply in the app. Your ID is matched to a live selfie by Stripe Identity, your phone is verified, and our team approves you by hand. Set the days you're free; several visits in one day is fine.

Today lists the visits due and your next sit. The address and entry details open only during the booking window. Check in plant by plant with a photo; a slow upload retries on its own.

$20–28 a visit for you, 15–30 minutes each. Paid through Stripe 48 hours after the last visit.
