How we keep visits safe and respectful
Verified helper profiles
Every helper completes a step-by-step ID check using government identification before their profile is approved on the platform.
Transparent community reviews
Star ratings and written feedback from real neighbors. We never delete honest reviews, and we track patterns across helpers.
Clear prices before booking
All financial agreements are finalized in writing before the helper arrives. No hidden fees, no surprises on the day.
Safe communication & pre-booking calls
Chat or call any candidate before confirming a visit, so you can make sure they're the right person for you.
Safety rules & code of conduct
- Helpers must show identification when they arrive at your door.
- Helpers must communicate with patience and respect, in plain language.
- You can cancel a job instantly, at any moment, if you feel uncomfortable.
- No upselling: helpers cannot pressure you to buy services you didn't ask for.
- Prices are locked in advance — never renegotiated on the doorstep.
