How it works

Booking an hour of good company is quick.

The booking flow is designed to take under five minutes. Here's how it will work when Popovers opens in your area.

01
Create an account and add your person
Sign up in under a minute. Add the older adult you're booking for — their address, interests, mobility notes, and anything a companion should know to make the hour feel easy. You can save multiple people (both parents, a grandparent next door) under one account.
02
Choose the date, time, and what you'd like to do
Pick an hour that works. Select from our activity menu — conversation, a walk, cards, reading, meal prep, an errand together. Companions arrive prepared for what you've asked.
03
We show you who's available
You'll see companions who can make your requested time, plus nearby alternatives when another opening may work better.
04
Request a companion
Pick the one that feels like the right fit and send a request. We'll place a hold on your card, but you won't be charged yet.
05
The companion accepts
Companions have up to 24 hours to accept. When one does, your card is charged and the visit appears as confirmed with the details you shared.
06
They pop over
An hour of real, warm company. Afterwards, the visit stays in your booking history so you can refer back to it next time.

The fine print, in plain English.

Payment: Cards are authorized when you request and charged only when a companion accepts. If no one accepts within 24 hours, the hold is released automatically.
Bundles: Save by buying visits in packs of 5 or 10. Bundle credits are charged upfront and never expire — use them whenever it suits.
Cancellations: Cancel free up to 48 hours before the visit. Within 48 hours, a visit is non-refundable. If a companion cancels or no-shows on you, you'll receive a full refund and a free visit credit on us.
Safety: Every companion passes a criminal background check, an interview with our team, and reference calls before taking a single visit. Visit details stay inside your account and are shared only as needed for the booking.
