Reliability policy
Our commitment to reliability extends to every aspect of the booking process, and we have a clear Reliability Policy in place to ensure the integrity and quality of our platform. Here’s what you need to know:
- Cancellations: Life is unpredictable, and we understand that sometimes cancellations are unavoidable. In case of emergencies, we urge both families and caregivers to officially cancel bookings through UrbanSitter as soon as possible. This minimizes inconvenience to the other party and allows for alternative arrangements.
- No-Shows: Failing to show up for a booked appointment, especially without communication, creates a negative experience for the other party. To address this, we encourage prompt reporting of no-show incidents. You can report these issues by contacting UrbanSitter Support at [email protected] or by flagging the member’s profile.
When cancellations or no-shows happen, our friendly member services team dives in. Using all available information, they thoroughly review the situation to understand how it might have affected our members’ experiences and the overall platform’s integrity.
