We all need a pal sometimes. Papa connects you and your loved ones with vetted, reliable Papa Pals for help with everyday tasks, transportation, light housework, and friendly companionship.
Try it risk-free: Your first hour is free, then just $30/hour with zero long-term commitment.
Papa Pals are trusted, background-checked, everyday helpers right from your neighborhood—veterans, retirees, students, former teachers, and caring community members.
While they aren’t nurses or medical aides, they are dependable, capable adults here to make daily life easier and bring genuine connection to your door. Here is how a Pal can help you or your loved one:
There for each other through good times and bad, Papa member Linda and Papa Pal Diana have formed an unbreakable bond.

Book, manage, and customize your Papa visits anytime from any device.
Visit the online member portal or use the link in your text reminders to sign in using your date of birth and a quick 4-digit code sent to your phone.
Pick a date and time, select the services you need—from household tasks to errands and more—and add specific notes or preferences for your Papa Pal.
View, reschedule, or cancel visits up to 24 hours in advance right from your account, stay on track with text reminders, and enjoy your time together.
Trust, before anyone knocks on your door.
Every Pal passes a comprehensive background check—including criminal, sex-offender registry, and motor-vehicle screening—before they’re ever allowed to accept a visit, plus annual re-checks and continuous monitoring after that.
Whether it’s your home or your parent’s, inviting someone in is a big deal—we treat it that way.
