The Ruh-Roh Badge System
Stop guessing. See proof.
Reviews tell you if a sitter is great. Badges help show you how they’re great.
How it works
Badges are awarded automatically when a sitter receives 4-5 star ratings in a category from at least 9 out of their most recent 10 client reviews. Each category has one badge—either earned or not earned.
If a sitter’s recent ratings drop below the threshold, the badge is automatically removed. This ensures badges always reflect current client satisfaction.
Why this matters
Instead of reading through reviews, hoping to find patterns, badges instantly show you which sitters consistently excel in areas that matter to you.
