The trick would be to ensure that in order to list with you, the sitters would have to submit the background check to you. Then you aren't actually charging them anything.

Use the line; "we have standards that we need to maintain".

As for the sitters not working... if they don't work, you delist them. This way, the customer has control over whether or not they are happy with the sitter and you have a control over whether or not you place the sitter.
