Why families choose the marketplace

Booking help at home shouldn't feel like hiring a stranger. It should feel like meeting someone your neighbor already trusts.

  • You choose the person

    Read real profiles, see rates, watch a short intro video, and pick the helper who feels right.

  • Verified before day one

    ID confirmed, background checked, references called, and re-checked every month they stay on the platform.

  • Book by the hour, no contracts

    One visit or every Tuesday morning — you decide. Reschedule or cancel free up to 24 hours before.

  • Consistency you can feel

    We prioritize the same helper week after week, so trust builds and the home stays predictable.

What a CompanionCare helper can do

Every helper picks the tasks they're best at and sets their own rate, shown before you book — no surprise fees.

See typical rates
  • Grocery & errands

    Weekly shopping, curbside pickup, groceries unpacked and put away — even the heavy stuff.

  • Rides & appointments

    A friendly driver to the doctor, pharmacy, salon, or bank — and a waiting hand at the curb.

  • House cleaning & laundry

    Weekly tidying, seasonal deep cleans, fresh linens, and floors that feel like home again.

  • Friendly visits

    Conversation over coffee, a walk around the block, cards on the porch — company that shows up.

  • Meal prep

    Shop the list, cook the favorites, portion for the week, and leave the kitchen better than they found it.

  • Medication reminders

    A gentle, non-clinical prompt at the right time — plus a quick text home to say all's well.

  • Handyman & yard

    Lightbulbs, smoke alarms, sticky drawers, and lawn edges — small fixes that keep the home safe.

  • Tech help

    Setting up FaceTime with the grandkids, Wi-Fi that finally works, and phones that stop misbehaving.

  • Pet care

    Walks, feedings, vet trips, and grooming — because the dog is family, too.

How we verify every helper

Vetted before day one — and every month after.

Trust isn't a one-time check. We continuously re-verify identity, background, and behavior so the person at your loved one's door today is still the person we introduced.

Read our full trust standards
  • Government ID + selfie match

    Every helper completes a live selfie check tied to a scanned government ID.

  • Multi-state background check

    Criminal, sex offender registry, and identity screens — refreshed on a rolling basis.

  • Address & work history

    Seven-year address history and reference calls before a first booking.

  • Live check-in each visit

    Selfie + GPS at the door so you always know your helper arrived — and left safely.

Real families, real weeks

A little help, right where you need it

For Grandma who lives alone

A Tuesday morning cleaning, a Thursday afternoon grocery run, and a Sunday walk — always with the same familiar face.

For the daughter three states away

Real-time updates when your mom's helper arrives, a quick note after every visit, and a phone we always answer.

For Dad who's just home from the hospital

A few weeks of extra hands: laundry, meals, and rides to follow-ups — while he gets his strength back.

Which CompanionCare is right for you?

Marketplace helpers cover everyday, non-medical support. For hands-on personal care or skilled clinical care, we have you covered too.

What every booking includes

No hidden fees, no surprise minimums. Every visit — whether it's an hour or a full afternoon — comes with the same safeguards.

  • Helpers set their own hourly rate — you see it up front
  • Choose the exact person before you book
  • Total cost shown before you pay — no surprises
  • Every visit begins with a live selfie + GPS check-in
  • Free reschedules and cancellations up to 24 hours before
  • The same helper, week after week, as long as it's working
  • A real person on the phone 24/7 if anything comes up

Questions families ask

How is CompanionCare different from a big-name care app?

You see the exact person before you book — not just a category. Every provider is verified continuously, not just once at sign-up. And a real person answers our phone, day or night.

What if the first match isn't right?

Say the word and we'll match you with someone else — no fees, no awkward conversations. Fit matters, and we'd rather you find the right person than the first person.

Do providers bring their own supplies?

Most cleaning and cooking helpers use what's already in the home (older adults usually prefer their familiar products). You can also request eco-friendly or unscented options when booking.

Can I add family members to see visits and messages?

Yes. Invite a spouse, sibling, or adult child to your family dashboard — they'll see visit confirmations, updates from the helper, and messages, always with your loved one's permission.

How is payment handled?

You pay through CompanionCare after each visit — no cash, no checks. Rates are set by each helper and shown up front, so the total you see before booking is the total you pay.

What if something goes wrong during a visit?

Tap 'Get help' in the app or call our line — a real person picks up 24/7. Every visit is logged with a check-in and check-out, and we can dispatch a backup helper if needed.

A note on what marketplace helpers do. Marketplace helpers focus on non-medical help — companionship, cleaning, meals, rides, and errands. For hands-on personal care like bathing and transfers, see CompanionCare Partners. For skilled nursing or therapy, see CompanionCare Healthcare.
