Photo reviews
Photos and experiences shared by contributors. Read below how we check submissions.
How reviews and confirmations work
We ask contributors to share a photo they took and their own experience. Reviews go through automated checks. Flagged reviews can be assessed manually. Approval is not a guarantee that a photo is unedited or free of AI generation.
- Email address confirmed means the link sent to that address was used. It does not prove a purchase or the identity of a person.
- Company management confirmed relates to access to this company page. A paid plan does not verify individual reviews.
- A review invitation does not independently prove a purchase. An order reference supplied by a company is not independent purchase verification either.
- Publishing a photo with a review does not automatically permit reuse in marketing. A subscription does not grant that permission either.

UrbanSitter positions itself in the care marketplace segment, targeting families who prioritize verified safety over cost alone, making it a mid-to-premium service for parents, guardians, and households seeking reliable care. The platform's approach centers on community-driven referrals, meaning parents can see which caregivers are already trusted by families at their child's school, in their neighborhood, or within local parenting groups. Annual background checks that reportedly exceed industry standards and individual screening by a dedicated Trust and Safety team are central to the service philosophy. Caregivers keep 100% of their earnings, which the platform states helps attract higher-quality care providers.
