Account settings

Theme, calendar, notifications, referrals, response timeouts, and account deletion.

Open the Settings tab to manage your account, adjust how Sitter works, and control your notifications.

Appearance

Choose between light mode, dark mode, or match your system setting. This only affects how the app looks on your device.

Calendar

Connect your Google Calendar so confirmed bookings appear as calendar events automatically. Tap "Connect Google Calendar" in Settings and sign in with Google. You can disconnect at any time from the same section. When calendar is connected, confirmed bookings create events with the sitter's name and time. Cancellations remove the event.

Notifications

Control which notifications you receive: booking updates, 48-hour reminders, and sitter responses. You can also opt in or out of product emails. Toggle each one independently.

Response timeouts

Adjust how long each sitter has to respond before Sitter moves on to the next person. You can set different timeouts based on urgency — same-day bookings, 1–3 days out, and 3+ days out. Shorter timeouts move through your list faster.

Refer a friend

Each family has a unique referral link in Settings. Share it with other parents. When they sign up and complete their first booking, both families receive 2 bonus credits. Track your referrals and total earned credits in the Referral History section.

Deleting your account

To delete your account, scroll to the bottom of Settings and tap "Delete account." You'll need to type "delete my account" to confirm. This removes your family, all bookings, all sitter connections, and all data permanently. It cannot be undone.
