Activities
Company for a named activity. Extra hands when the plan needs them.
Not this
Buddy4Rent is company for a defined block. It is not a stand-in for other kinds of work.
Not a dating app
We do not arrange dates. There are no profiles to browse. When prepaid time ends, the job ends.
Not an escort service
No sexual activity, sexual contact, cam, clothing, or romantic roleplay. This is a standing rule, not a preference.
Not a therapist
Company for a plan. Not treatment, diagnosis, or crisis care.
Not a nurse
No medical work, personal care, or anything that needs a license.
Not a moving company
Extra hands means hold, haul, bag, sweep, load — not a crew with a truck.
Not a restaurant
A Friend can cook with you in your kitchen. We do not cater or serve the public.
Not a staffing agency
Business overflow is a four-hour helper, not a W-2 hire.
Not licensed trades
No saws, roofs, electrical, plumbing, or work that needs a contractor.
Extra hands means hold, haul, bag, sweep, load — not saws, roofs, electrical, or a W-2 hire.

Send a request only for a named, platonic activity we offer. Sexual activity is not allowed.
Request
Send the plan. We write back with scope.
This is a request, not a booking. The pilot is South Carolina only. Time is prepaid only after we confirm scope in writing. Under 2 hours notice is not accepted.
Read the platonic policy before you submit. The Friend may leave immediately if the job is not platonic, or if sexual activity is requested.
FAQ
Before you request.
Do you take requests outside South Carolina?
Not yet. The pilot is South Carolina only. If the plan is outside the state, leave your email for the monthly note. We write when there is news, including new metros.
Who pays for tickets, meals, rides, and materials?
You do. The customer pays 100% of tickets, meals, rides, parking, materials, and groceries. Those costs sit outside the hourly rate.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancel inside 24 hours and 50% of the prepaid time is due. A customer no-show is billed at 100%. The desk confirms the cutoff in writing with the scope.
Are virtual hours cheaper?
No. Virtual company uses the same rates and the same clock.
Can I book a Friend as extra help at work?
Business overflow is a four-hour helper, not an employee. No W-2, no ongoing role, no licensed trade work.
What does the $8 booking fee cover?
An $8 booking fee is charged on every completed booking. It is not a tip and it is not a substitute for prepaid time.
When are tips allowed?
Tips only after the job, through the desk, later. Do not offer cash, gifts, or off-clock arrangements during the job.
