When I started building viveture, the first question I got was: "This space already has players. Why bother?"
Fair. But spend 10 minutes actually using these platforms and you start noticing things. Sitter rankings aren't based on who is best. They are based on who charges more. Commission-based marketplaces take a cut of every booking, which means the algorithm quietly favors higher-rate sitters. Not higher-rated ones. You are never told this. It just happens.
The UX has not meaningfully evolved in years. Finding a reliable sitter near you, on short notice, with real reviews shouldn't feel like filing taxes.
And sitters? They hand over 20 30% of every booking to a platform that treats them as interchangeable inventory.
Viveture is the pet-sitting marketplace that finally puts sitters first. Unlike other platforms that take a 20–30% commission cut, viveture charges zero commission — sitters keep every dollar they earn.
Both pet owners and sitters pay a simple, affordable subscription fee to access the platform. Every sitter undergoes a mandatory background check, so pet owners can book with confidence.
Built by a solo founder. Available now on the Apple App Store.
