A sitter for the 30-minute things life keeps throwing at you.
HopSitter is a service that connects parents in New Jersey suburbs with vetted local sitters for one-off pickups, activity drop-offs, and last-minute help.
We are launching soon. Join the waitlist to be the first to know when sitters are available in your town.
How a hop works
Designed for the chaotic half-hour, not the all-day search.
Post your hop
Tell us the town, time window, and what you need — a pickup, a walk home, an hour of homework help.
Match in minutes
Nearby vetted sitters get pinged. You see names, ratings, and rates — pick the one that fits.
Track + pay in-app
Live status from school door to your door. Tap to tip, rate, and rebook your favorites.

Built for the NJ suburbs we live in.
We started in Essex County and now match sitters from the GSP to the Watchung ridge. If your town has a Little League and a too-early dismissal bell, we're probably already there.
