Your packages. Always protected.

Stop Porch Pirates & Package Theft. Simplify Returns.

The #1 package protection service for homeowners and apartment residents. Shop on Amazon, Walmart, and Target as usual. When you won't be home during delivery, hire a verified, background-checked Package Sitter to intercept your package after delivery—before thieves can steal it.

We also handle returns. The sitter picks up the return item, scans the QR code, and drops it at a nearby UPS, FedEx, or Amazon return hub. One platform solves both porch piracy and return friction.

Your packages. Always protected.

Compatible with All Major Carriers: Amazon Prime, UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL & More

LIGHTNING-FAST TECHNOLOGY

Seconds Matter. Here's How We Beat Porch Pirates.

We don't guess when packages arrive. We react the instant they're delivered—with sitters already in your building.

The Core Innovation

We DON'T predict delivery times. We respond to delivery confirmation.

What We DON'T Do

  • ❌ Try to beat FedEx to the door
  • ❌ Predict delivery times
  • ❌ Pay sitters to wait all day
  • ❌ Rely on carrier estimates

What We DO

  • ✅ React to delivery confirmation
  • ✅ Pay per completed action
  • ✅ Use proximity + availability
  • ✅ Stage sitters in buildings

The 3-Minute Response System

01

Instant Alert

Amazon/UPS/FedEx confirms: "Package Delivered"

0-2 seconds

System receives delivery confirmation

02

Ready Mode Sitters

Push alert sent to sitters already in your building

5-10 seconds

First sitter accepts the job

03

Package Secured

Sitter picks up package before thieves notice

1-3 minutes

Sitter reaches door & secures package

What is "Ready Mode"?

The secret to 3-minute response times—with sitters in your building or nearby neighbors

How It Works

  • Sitters live in your building/neighborhood – Apartment sitters in your building; Home sitters nearby
  • Toggle "Ready" when home – Working from home, walking dog, available
  • Soft alerts during day – "Package may arrive today in your building/neighborhood"
  • Instant dispatch on delivery – Nearest Ready sitter gets pinged first

Why It Works

  • Zero idle time – Sitters aren't waiting, they're living nearby
  • No hourly costs – Pay per completed pickup, not per hour
  • Building access – Sitters already have mailroom/lobby clearance
  • Pirates can't compete – They watch patterns, we eliminate delay

Zero-Failure Dispatch System

1

Same Building/Block – Ready Mode

Sitters in your building (apartments) or block (homes) who are home and available (0-3 min response)

PRIORITY
2

Same Building/Neighborhood – Available

Sitters not in Ready Mode but nearby and can respond (5-10 min)

3

Nearby Sitters

Pre-approved sitters within walking distance (under 5 min)

4

Leasing Office / Concierge Fallback

Building staff can secure package as backup option

If Tier 1 doesn't accept in 15-20 seconds, system auto-routes to next tier

Our Promise to You

"Whether you live in an apartment building or a single-family home, our Package Sitters are already in your community. They respond within minutes—often before anyone even notices the package was delivered."
