How it works

Care you can trust, in a few taps.

Pairus turns finding a caregiver from a stressful gamble into something calm and predictable. Here's the whole journey — from the moment you open the app to the moment your sitter waves goodbye.

The journey

Five steps, start to finish.

  1. 1

    Set up your family profile once

    Add your children's ages, allergies, routines, your address, and the little house rules that matter. You enter it a single time — it travels with every visit, so you never re-explain bedtime.

  2. 2

    Choose Instant or Scheduled

    Need someone right now? Instant broadcasts your request to every available, vetted caregiver nearby. Planning ahead? Pick a date, time, and duration and browse sitters whose calendars fit.

  3. 3

    Get matched with a vetted caregiver

    Every caregiver has already cleared identity verification and a background check. With Instant, the first available sitter to accept is yours. With Scheduled, you choose the profile you like best.

  4. 4

    Track the visit live

    See when your caregiver is on the way and follow the visit in real time. Need to reach them? A masked in-app call connects you without either side sharing a real phone number.

  5. 5

    Pay securely and review

    Payment is handled in-app — no cash, no awkward math. You get an itemized breakdown of care time, any overtime, and the support fee, then leave a review to help the next family.

Instant matching

Need someone now? Pairus finds them.

Instant is built for real life — the meeting that ran late, the sitter who cancelled, the evening that came together at the last minute.

One tap to broadcast

Set the duration and hit search. Pairus notifies every available, cleared caregiver near you at once.

First to accept wins

The first sitter to accept is instantly yours — no back-and-forth, no waiting on replies.

Only pay when matched

Your card is only authorized once a caregiver accepts, always at their posted rate.

Scheduled booking

Planning ahead? Browse and choose.

When you know your week, Pairus shows you caregivers whose availability actually covers your window — no guessing, no double-booking.

Real availability

Only sitters who are genuinely free for your entire window appear in results.

Choose your fit

Compare rates, reviews, experience, and specialties, then book the caregiver who feels right.

Extend on the fly

Running late? Request more time mid-visit and your caregiver can accept in a tap — fairly paid for every extra minute.

Common questions

When will Pairus be available?

We're launching in Austin first and opening the waitlist now. Join it and we'll email you the moment your spot is ready.

How much does it cost?

You pay your caregiver's hourly rate plus a small support fee that keeps Pairus safe and running. Every booking shows a clear, itemized total before and after the visit — no surprises.

What if a visit runs over?

Caregivers are fairly paid for overtime at their hourly rate, itemized separately on your receipt. If you know in advance, you can request an extension mid-visit.

Is my information private?

Yes. Your address and phone number stay masked until a visit is confirmed, and calls route through a private number so real digits are never exposed.
