Rover and Wag dominate pet sitting but take 20-40% of every booking. Sitter Rank is a direct-booking alternative where sitters keep everything they earn.
Owners search by zip code, filter by service type, and read reviews that can only come from completed bookings on the platform.
Stack: Next.js, PostgreSQL, Stripe Connect for direct sitter payments.
The business model is SaaS (sitter subscriptions) rather than per-booking commissions. Curious if HN thinks this can work against entrenched marketplace players.
