Hi Jake, we apologize for your experience. PettyGigs is a tech startup based in Charlotte, NC. We launched in July 2021 and are currently only active in Charlotte and surrounding areas. The primary goal of PettyGigs is to create opportunities for teens and college students (Giggers) looking to earn money in flexible environment by providing short term services and errands to busy professionals and elderly people looking for help (Gig Posters). We prioritize safety for both sides of the marketplace by performing comprehensive background checks for all adult Giggers, obtaining parental consent for all non-adult Giggers, and performing ID verification and registered sex offenders checks for all Gig Posters. The privacy of our customers is very critical and because of that, we partner with world-class companies for background checks and ID verification and do not store any sensitive data in our systems. Although we perform background checks for our Giggers as part of the onboarding process, this step can be skipped for later when the Gigger first attempts to accept a gig.
Although we are only active in Charlotte, NC the app is available for download in all 50 states and we do notify customers outside of the service areas that we are not yet in their area. As we grow, we will expand to all major cities in the US and are hoping to be available in your area soon. Again, we sincerely apologize for your experience.
