Your Backup Human
Sometimes everyone needs backup.
Judgment-free, nonsexual companionship for conversation, body doubling, appointments, errands, outings — or simply having another human nearby.
A Different Kind of Support
You don't always need advice. Sometimes you just need someone there.
Not therapy. Not a coach. Not a date. Just a calm, caring human presence — on your schedule.
You don't always need therapy, advice, or a deep conversation. Sometimes you need someone to listen while you work through your thoughts, sit quietly while you complete a difficult task, or accompany you somewhere you would rather not go alone.
Your Backup Human offers scheduled, professional human presence without pressure, judgment, romance, or expectations.
Ways to Be There
Choose the kind of presence you need
Five thoughtfully scoped services — from simply being heard to having a calm companion by your side for an everyday activity.
Listen Only
Be heard. Not fixed.
A private session to vent, share a story, or say things aloud without being judged, interrupted, lectured, or immediately given advice.
From $35
Talk It Through
Thoughtful questions. No agenda.
A supportive conversation where your listener asks thoughtful questions and helps you organize your thoughts. This is not therapy, counseling, diagnosis, legal advice, medical advice, or crisis intervention.
From $60
Virtual Body-Doubling
Gentle presence. Real progress.
Your companion is present by video while you clean, organize, study, complete paperwork, work on a creative project, or tackle something you've been putting off. Conversation is optional.
From $40
Quiet Company
Another calm person. Simply present.
A phone or video session where conversation is optional. Read, work, organize, eat, or simply have another person present.
From $60
Come With Me
A companion for everyday life.
Strictly platonic in-person companionship for appropriate public activities — coffee or a meal, shopping, a public walk, a community event, waiting before an appointment, or completing an everyday errand.
From $75
In-person · manual approval
"When you need someone, I show up."

The founder of Your Backup Human has spent years being the person friends, family members, coworkers, and even strangers turn to when they need to vent, work through a difficult situation, hear an honest perspective, or simply feel less alone.
