Visiting Brooklyn? · Sitter to your rental
No front desk. Still no problem.
Hotels have concierge. Airbnbs have a lockbox and a host you'll never meet. Booking a sitter to a short-term rental is its own choreography — text the address, send the gate code, the sitter shows up at 6:45.
Why an Airbnb sitter is different from a hotel one
Hotel
- · Concierge confirms the sitter at check-in
- · Front desk knows who's in the room
- · Room service for kid's dinner
- · Predictable layout, predictable wifi
Airbnb
- · You text the sitter the address + entry code
- · No one in the building knows you're there
- · Whatever's in the kitchen is dinner
- · Wifi password is on the fridge or it isn't
Neither's harder. Just different setup. We do both. Hotel sitter page for the concierge variant.
The handoff at an Airbnb
Three text messages, one knock.
Address + entry
Once you check in, text us the full street address, the apartment number, and how to get in (lockbox code, key location, doorman name).
House notes
Wifi password, the bedroom the kids are sleeping in, where the spare diapers are. Two minutes of text, saves an hour of fumbling.
Arrival 15 minutes early
Sitter shows up before you leave. Kids meet her, you do the verbal walkthrough, you walk out.
The neighborhoods
Most short-term-rental traffic in Brooklyn lands in the same corridor. We cover the full deeper Brooklyn we already serve, and we'll travel out to the visitor neighborhoods on a case-by-case basis with a small surcharge.
