What to expect from Verified Providers
#1
Welcome — this section features experienced, highly respected professional cuddlers who are known in the community for their skill, reliability, and professionalism. Read this before booking so you know what to expect and how to get the best experience.

Who these providers are
  • Seasoned practitioners: many are veterans in the field with years of experience, training, and strong client feedback.
  • Listings highlight each provider’s experience, specialties, and the kinds of sessions they offer so you can choose a good match.
  • “Verified” on this site signals a provider who’s earned community recognition and consistently follows professional standards.

Types of sessions (important — read each provider’s listing)
Not every provider offers every kind of session. It’s up to you to choose a provider whose services match your needs.
  • In-call (hosted at provider’s space): The provider offers sessions in their home studio or dedicated space. Good if you want a controlled environment with the host’s set-up (fresh sheets, blankets, lighting). Check the provider’s listing for photos, accessibility, and arrival instructions.
  • Out-call (the provider comes to you): The provider travels to your home, hotel, or an agreed safe location. Many providers charge a travel fee or require a minimum session length for out-call. Confirm travel radius, fees, and safety protocols before booking.
  • Hybrid / Limited out-call: Some providers do out-call only on certain days or within specific ZIP codes — read their availability.
  • Virtual / Remote sessions: Phone or video sessions for guided relaxation, breathing, or coaching. These are great when distance or mobility is an issue.
  • Group meetups / workshops: Some providers host small group socials, classes, or workshops. These will be listed as separate events.
Always check the provider’s profile to confirm which session types they offer, any additional fees, and required prep.

What to expect during a session
  • A brief intake (via DM or in-person) to confirm preferences, boundaries, and any relevant health or mobility notes.
  • A clear consent check at the start of the session and anytime anything changes.
  • A calm, professional environment — providers will often set simple house rules about shoes, hygiene, and what to bring.

Booking & payments
  • Providers list clear rates, session types, and booking instructions on their profiles — read these carefully before you pay.
  • Out-call travel fees, minimums, and travel radius will be shown if the provider offers out-call. If not shown, ask before you book.
  • Cancellation and refund policies are set by each provider; check those details when you book. Deposits are common — pay attention to whether the deposit is refundable.
  • If payments happen through an external link, confirm the provider’s profile details and booking terms before sending money.

Safety & boundaries
  • Communicate your comfort level and any physical limitations before the session begins.
  • Respect the provider’s stated boundaries — they will outline what is and isn’t acceptable during a session.
  • If something feels wrong during a session, pause and speak up. For serious issues, use the site’s report function immediately.

Tips & practical recommendations
For hosts / in-call providers
  • Fresh linens & a clean surface for each client.
  • Offer a scent-free option; limit candles and strong fragrances.
  • Provide a clear spot for bags/shoes, tissues, hand sanitizer, and a small trash bin.
  • Keep lighting soft and adjustable; have a quiet music option ready (ask if the client prefers silence).
  • State clearly whether pets are present.
  • If you do out-call sometimes, describe your travel radius, fees, and any places you will not visit (e.g., certain neighborhoods, no hotel rooms on weekdays, etc.).
For out-call providers
  • Confirm address, parking, safe entrance, and whether stairs are involved.
  • Require an arrival message and a photo ID match if you feel it’s needed for safety.
  • Set a travel fee and a minimum session length for out-call bookings.
For guests / clients
  • Read the provider’s profile fully: session types (in-call/out-call/virtual), rates, cancellation rules, and any house rules.
  • Tell the provider about allergies, pets, mobility issues, or anything else that affects comfort before booking.
  • Wear comfortable, clean clothing and arrive on time.
  • If meeting at your place, prepare a clean, quiet area and parking/entry instructions.

Communication tips (what makes sessions work best)
  • Pre-session: exchange a short message covering exact arrival time, parking/entry details, and any allergies or mobility needs.
  • Start-of-session consent check: confirm boundaries and a simple safe-word or signal to pause/stop if needed.
  • Mid-session check-ins: brief verbal or nonverbal checks help keep things comfortable.
  • End-of-session: quick debrief and options for aftercare or notes for next time.
