How to find and book a pro

Use category browse, search, or recommendations to shortlist pros, then send a booking request with your preferred dates.

4 min read·Updated April 15, 2026·For clients

Booking on Island Pro is two steps: pick a pro you like, then send a request. The pro confirms within their normal response window — most reply in under three hours during business days.

Find a pro

  • Browse by category (plumbing, design, IT, tutoring, fitness, chef).
  • Filter by island, language, price range, and availability.
  • Save favorites to your shortlist for later.

Send a request

  1. 1
    Open a pro's profile
    Read packages, work samples, and reviews. Look for the green badge if you want only verified pros.
  2. 2
    Pick a service or package
    Or describe what you need in the request form — pros can quote custom work.
  3. 3
    Confirm dates and details
    Send the request. Your card is authorized but not charged until the pro accepts.
Tip
Sending one detailed request beats sending six vague ones — pros respond faster when they can quote precisely.
