A premiere horse sitting business in the Seattle area, built as an app instead of a website with a contact form. Six services with real prices, the hour of love, a 50 percent deposit at agreement, sitters vetted against Nancy's standard with a background check every year, and photos and video from every visit. Nancy runs all of it from her board.

FancyVentureSits is live at its own address, the one she already owned. Same domain, now an app behind it.
Open FancyVentureSits →Nancy applied on 18 July 2026 and wrote exactly what she wanted: "an app similar to Rover or Wag, with the payment portal, booking systems, and drop in features, and the potential to add other contractors as time passes that are well vetted with the appropriate qualifications." She was spending about $250 a month across Thumbtack, Bark and Yelp, and her Squarespace site could not take a booking or a payment.
On the gameplan call she told Luke the shape of it. Ten years of gig work, four years running her own sitting company, a pile of references, and one rule: she is the service today, and anyone who joins later has to meet her standard. So the app was built as her business, not a Rover clone. Her six services, her tiers, her deposit terms, her words, with room for vetted sitters under her name when she is ready.
The ask: Rover for elite horse owners, with her standing behind every sit.
Horse sitting, drop in check ins, drop in grooming, household pets, show weekends and the hour of love. Each with a from price, a level of care, and a book button.
Nancy meets every owner first. Then a plan, a price, and a 50 percent deposit by card into her own Stripe. The percentage is hers to change in Money.
An application with four qualifications, a background check she runs before a first job and every year after, and a switch for who pays for it.
The week ahead, requests, sitters, money, people, references and settings. The card at the top says what needs her today and nothing else does.
It was one line in her first list: people should be able to order somebody to drop by, give the horse a treat and a pet, and walk him around. On 10 August she called it "the highlight service for everyday use," and the next day it had its own card at the top of the six, brighter and bolder, with what is in it spelled out and a button that books it.
That is the whole app in one card. A thing she already did for people, with a price on it and a way to say yes.
