Going away? Let’s keep home running smoothly while you’re gone.
The dog sitter, the lawn, the mail and the ride to the airport. Start with the people around Mom and Dad, line up help close to home and keep everyone in the loop, so the trip is all about the trip.
An illustrative example
Every trip is different. Use this as a starting point, and talk to a navigator about what fits your family. It’s free.
Who’s this plan for?
Pick who’s at the centre and we’ll write this page around them.
Three weeks away, planned together
Here’s what a trip often looks like. Use it as a guide, share it with your Circle and change anything that doesn’t fit Mom and Dad.
Line up help close to home while they’re away
Compare local companies, see who your Circle already uses or ask your Circle for a name. Here’s how it will work in The Market. The names below are examples.
Airport rides
Door to departures and back again, bags and all, booked weeks ahead.
Pet sitting
Walks, meals and belly rubs for Biscuit, with a meet and greet before they go.
Lawn and garden
Mowing, weeding and a tidy yard, so home looks lived in the whole time.
Cleaning
A fresh clean the day before they land, so home is ready to settle into.
Groceries
A stocked fridge for the day they land, with their favourites delivered to the door.
House checks
After a big storm, someone walks through to check the windows, doors and basement.
Keep the neighbours close
The neighbour next door can water the plants, put out the bins and keep the spare key. Share just that part of the plan, nothing more.

A welcome home dinner
Someone to come by, order pizza and hear all about Portugal. The best part of a trip is telling the stories.
How to choose well
Questions we suggest asking any company before you say yes.
Everyone who helps, in one Circle
Family, friends, local pros and the apps you already use. Mom and Dad stay at the centre and decide who’s in. The names here are examples.
Not sure who to include? Start with our Circle builder.
Prompts for everyone from their bank to their dog walker, plus the things Mom and Dad want to do. It’s free, takes about 10 minutes and you can download your list to keep and share.
Build Mom and Dad’s CircleLess chasing, more living
Pearl keeps everyone in the loop so nobody has to hold it all in their head.
Ask for a hand
Post a request once. The right person says yes, and everyone sees it’s handled.
A daily check-in
Mom and Dad share how they’re feeling in one tap, even from Lisbon, and the Circle can send a smile back.
One shared calendar
Appointments, visits and deliveries in one place, so nobody double-books.
Mom and Dad decide who sees what
Trusted Providers only see the steps they’re part of, nothing more.
Questions families ask
Something else on your mind? A navigator can talk it through with you.
No tech skills needed. Mom and Dad can check in with one tap, or let their Circle handle the details while they stay in charge of who is in and what they see.
Plans are coming to Pearl soon. Today you can build Mom and Dad’s Circle with our Circle builder and download your list, so everyone is ready when plans arrive.
Starting a Circle is free, and the person at the centre is always free. Plus is $15 CAD a month, with a 14-day free trial.
Only the people in the Circle, and only what they are invited to see. Trusted Providers see the steps they are part of, nothing more.
Yes. A Pearl navigator can help you get started and find local help. It is free, with no account needed.
