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.
Hey Product Hunt! I'm Paresh, the solo founder of viveture. I built this because I was frustrated with existing options for pet sitting. Watching sitters lose 20–30% of every booking to dog walking/sitting platforms is heart breaking. Viveture flips the model — zero commission, sitters keep 100%, and pet owners get access to background-checked sitters for a simple subscription.
