“What wonderful hosts. Was very nice to get photos constantly while we were away. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to board the pet. Was a beautiful property too for the dog to roam around. Completely fenced in yard.”
“Gus had a great time with Rie and Masahiro!! They sent consistent updates to let me know how he was settling in, and took Gus for some great walks. Gus came home a happy safe puppy, which as a pet parent is all you can ask for :) definitely will book with them again”
“Adriana did a wonderful job looking after my fur baby Finn, she sent updates and pictures regulary, and was always quick with her responses. It left me feeling relaxed while on my holidays, Finn went for hikes and to the big of leash dog park, rain or shine. Her dog Mollie and Finn got along wonderfully. I would deffinalty use her again. Thank you Adriana!!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Seema and couldn’t be happier with the care she provided for my dog, Max. From the moment we met, she was very friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about dogs. Max was dropped off at 7:30 in the morning and picked up at 7:30 in the evening, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands throughout the day. Seema was extremely caring and loving toward Max. He had a great time playing fetch with her and was walked multiple times during the day. She made sure he was fed properly and well taken care of. Max also made a new friend, Yogi—an 11-month-old Golden Retriever—and they had an amazing time together, playing and running around in the backyard, even enjoying the snow. It was clear from the updates and interactions that Max was happy, comfortable, and well behaved in her care. I truly appreciate the attention, love, and dedication Seema showed. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Max and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Yasemin and Daniel were wonderful caregivers to our pup! They sent us pictures and kept us updated on his day while we were away. They took care of him as if he was their own pet. We will definitely use their services again! Thank you!”
“Great experience with Bill & Tracy. We felt comfortable leaving our dog with them and saw how well they took care and showed him love while we were gone. It's was nice to get picture updates which helped to assure he was well cared for as It's never easy leaving your baby behind. Thanks again Bill & Tracy.”
“Fabulous care! I have 2 friendly but energetic dogs, and had never left them with anyone for longer than a day, but needed to go to California for 10 days to support a friend whose husband had passed away. I was nervous about leaving them, but Lina's friendly and professional attitude made me feel confident that the dogs were in good care. She gave me updates, asked questions if needed, and followed my advice (to get one of my dogs to go downstairs). Extremely happy with the care the dogs received, and I highly recommend her as a loving and knowledgeable dogsitter. Thanks, Lina!”
“Priyanka made us feel very comfortable with leaving our pups with someone new. She shared regular updates and pictures and they both loved exploring their new vacation home. I would recommend using her services.”
“Amanda and her family took amazing care of Ripley while we were away! From the initial meet and greet to the boarding of Ripley, Amanda made the entire process smooth and a positive experience for Ripley and us.”
“Aishwarya took very good care of my dog while I was away. I was pleased to get daily updates and photos. Diesel got absolutely spoiled with cuddles, walks and some of his favourite human food! I would absolutely recommend Aishwarya and will book back again in the future! Thank you so much!!”
“Janice was super with our cat! She gave her some time outside, which Jackie loves. She made herself right at home and cuddled with Janice. From the pictures she sent us, we could tell that she felt very comfortable with her. Janice gave her the medication she needs, and looked after her meal requirements. We have full confidence in bringing Jackie back for another visit.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs for the past 8 years, so caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I started dog sitting for friends and family in high school and still regularly look after dogs today. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, or just hanging out and keeping them company, I make sure they get plenty of attention and feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. My goal is to make sure you can leave knowing your dog is in good hands and getting the same care and attention they’re used to at home. I work as a teacher during the week, so I’m typically available after 4:00 PM Monday through Thursday and after 4:30 PM on Fridays. I’m home most Friday nights and usually have plenty of availability on weekends, which gives me lots of time for walks, playtime, and keeping your dog company. My schedule can change from time to time, so I’ll always keep my Rover availability updated so you know when I’m free! I want every dog I care for to feel comfortable and at home. I have a fully fenced backyard with lots of space to run around, play, and get some fresh air. I also have an extra dog bed, toys, and treats available to help them settle in and enjoy their stay. When caring for a dog in their own home, I’m happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I know every dog is different, so I’m always happy to adjust based on what makes them happiest and most comfortable.
“Nigel and his family took such great care of my Gigi! She had so much fun playing with their dog, Ozzy, and it was wonderful knowing she was in such loving hands. I would definitely book with them again!”
“Zixian and her partner took wonderful care of Hartwin during his overnight stay. She sent sweet updates and pictures, which we loved receiving. Hartwin and her pup Liuliu are officially besties now! We felt so comfortable leaving him in such loving hands and will 100% use her again for future dog-sitting and boarding services. Highly recommend! Thank you, Zixian! 😊”
“Barbara was wonderful with my dog. I received daily updates, pictures and even a video. I missed my dog while I was away, but knowing Samantha was in good hands with Barbara put my mind at ease!”
“You couldn’t ask for a more loving and warm person to entrust with your fur babies!! I was blown away at her kindness and the way she put the needs of my loved ones above her own. I couldn’t recommend anyone better than Liz 💜💜”
“Freddo had a wonderful stay, and we’re really grateful for the care and attention you gave him. Thank you for being so patient with his picky eating habits and making sure he was comfortable with his meals. We also really appreciated the extra walks, playtime, and giving him access around the house so he could feel at home. The regular updates and photos gave us great peace of mind while we were away, and it was clear he was happy and well looked after. He came back relaxed and in great spirits, which says everything. We’d absolutely be happy to have Freddo stay with you again. Thank you again for treating him like family”
“Chetan helped us out when we needed last minute care for our dog. He was super easy to talk to and sent us daily updates, pictures and videos of Chotu having the best time. We were a bit nervous because our dog hadn't been around other dogs other than passing by some dogs during our walks. Chetan made us feel completely at ease by sharing his technique to introduce him to his dogs and giving us that extra reassurance. We got stuck in a snow storm and he was completely understanding and was able to keep chotu for an extra night. This really helped us as we have a little baby and were really worried about getting home in time with the weather being so bad. All in all Chetan was absolutely amazing with our dog and we will definitely rebook with him in the future.”

“Jocelyn was an absolute pleasure to work with and took incredible care of our 3 cats! She went above and beyond in following our instructions and showing our babies some affection and playtime 💕 She was communicative, reliable, and a professional at administering medication to our senior cat, while also managing with our kitten who has more energy. I can’t recommend her enough and look forward to hiring her again!”
“Dokyung was absolutely amazing with my kitty!! She sent so many pictures and videos and took great care of him. I’d never left my kitty alone this long and was worried how he’d cope but she was as so attentive, kept me informed, and made sure he had an excellent time. Will definitely be booking her again!”
“Yvonne was so great! She sent me so many photos of my cats when she went to visit them and sent me very detailed messages each day about them. Will definitely use her again”
About: I’ve cared for pets of many different species from large and small dogs to cats, bunnies, and fish since I was 10 years old. Because of this, I'm comfortable with handling different temperaments, routines, and specialized care needs! While I love pets of all shapes and sizes, I have more experience with larger breeds, but I thrive with low to medium energy dogs. That said, I grew up with a Doberman, a Belgian Malinois, and a French Mastiff. I am very familiar with both high-drive breeds and gentle giants. I actually formed the strongest bond with my French Mastiff over our shared love of sleeping! As I’m not in school at the moment I currently have an open and highly flexible schedule, I can adapt to your pet's routine and needs. My main commitment outside of pet sitting is caring for my own pets at home, my cat and three bunnies! Because my time is so flexible, I can offer dedicated time, attentive care, and flexible drop-in or sitting hours. I prioritize communication, safety, and respect for your home! I’ll send frequent photo and video updates so you know your pet is thriving. Before any booking, I make sure to write down all key details, including your pet's routine, feeding instructions, emergency contacts, and household rules so everything runs smoothly!
“Holly was great! She house-sat for 3 days and took wonderful care of my cat. It was great receiving pictures throughout my trip of how Goose was doing and I appreciate her being patient with him and letting him get comfortable with her. You can’t go wrong with Holly :)”
“This is the second time we’ve booked with Kirstyn and my cats are so comfortable around her now! Thanks for taking good care of Nori and Topi, and for keeping the place tidy.”
“Gemini fell in love with Britt immediately! Such an amazing sitter, giving Gemini space, independence, and all the cuddles she wanted, as well as ensuring she was comfortable during the heatwave. Will definitely use her services again, and would absolutely recommend her for any cat parents looking for a kind, reliable, and consistent sitter for their fur babies.”
“It is so nice to come back to Happy Cats. Kellin was kind and gentle to my fur babies. She took good care of them. Everything was done exactly how cats have them in their routine. Kellin communicates and updates very well.”
About: I’ve had cats since I was a child . I’ve dog sat for friends in the past . It’s such a joy and a pleasure to have animals around and to care for them . My 10 year old is with part time. She loves pets. She’s very mature, kind, and respectful with them. She will be with me when I’m taking your dog out for a walk. But I will be holding the leash. I have a fenced in yard where I’m living no other pets . I care about animals like they are my own . And do my best to make sure they feel safe and loved and give them my time and attention.
“Samantha is a totally responsible dependable person, and from the photographs it looked like Dolly Nefertiti, my cat, was falling in love with her given those googly eyes...which she does not do for everyone. Thank you Samantha.”
“Amber provided my senior kitty Jonas with his needed care for his good health while I was away. Jonas especially needed and enjoyed cuddle time on the couch. Very happy with the service Amber provided and will ask her to care for Jonas again in the future.”
About: I’m an Animal Care Attendant at the Hamilton/Burlington SPCA with years of professional experience working with dogs and cats. I’m well-versed in medicating, handling, and understanding animal behavior, and I’ve loved animals my entire life. I’ve studied dog behavior and training, and I treat every dog I meet as if they were my own. My goal is to make your pup feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, responsible, and always excited to build relationships with new dogs. In my free time, I love training my own dog in off-leash reliability, obedience, and agility—it’s one of my favorite ways to connect and grow with animals. I’m also a marathoner and long distance runner and would love to run and tire out some super high energy dogs! I am also knowledgeable in canine first aid and basic grooming and bathing. I’m currently a graduate student, working part time at the HBSPCA. I would love to create meaningful relationships and provide your dog(s) with enrichment throughout the week! I have a dog of my own and enjoy daily hikes with him. He is a goofy, high energy golden retriever. I have experience with all types of walking aids such as head halters, harnesses, prong collars, e-collars, etc. I’m also able to give updates and photos during the walk! I can provide structured walks, enrichment walks or long-line fun. Let me know your preferences! I also provide in home pet care upon request so your pup is comfortable when you’re away!:)

Whether you need occasional visits, vacation care, or regular pet sitting services, I would be honoured to care for your cherished companions.

“Angela lives in a lovely country home. When we arrived to drop off Teddy, (our toy two-yr old Spaniel), her dog Ellie welcomed us in! After the two dogs sniffed each other out, I felt comfortable that Teddy was going to have a good time while we attended a family Christmas party. Angela took our dog on a nature walk and sent us pictures of the two dogs at play. When we picked up Teddy, he was happy, and we felt confident that Angela and her family had taken good care of our pet. We could not hesitate to call upon Angela again.”
“Paisley felt at home with Lina immediately. This was the first time he'd stayed with a non-family member and there were no concerns. He was happy each morning to go see Lina and Harlem :)”
“We were nervous as it was Ruby Sue’s first time going to doggy day care but Linda did an exceptional job looking after Ruby-Sue, even giving her more play time and walks than we expected! She also gave many pictures and updates which put us at ease, and best of all, Ruby Sue loves Linda and came home a very happy and tired pup! We look forward to book with Linda again.”
“I am so comfortable leaving my guy with Shelly. He's well cared for and likes to be with them . Shelly exudes warmth and lots of smiles. Easy to see that she loves what she's doing”
“Priyanka took very good care of my Murphy! She is well organized & was kind to send me updates & pics. It was nice that Murphy met some new fur buddies, & looking forward to more visits 🐶😍”
“As owners taking our 9 month old Whippet to daycare for the first time ever, Chetan put all our apprehensions to rest. Our pup Ripple excelled under Chetan's care. She absolutely loved him and loved the farm. Chetan would send videos and answer any questions we might have had. His hours are very accommodating for a busy lifestyle. If you want a tired and content dog at the end of the day, Chetan's farm is highly recommended!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with two dogs and currently have three cats who live with my mom. My boyfriend also grew up with dogs and cats and currently has a dog and a cat who live with his parents. We don’t have any pets living in our home right now. Although we’ve considered adopting, we realized Rover is a wonderful opportunity for us to spend time with animals, care for them, and give them the same love and attention we’ve always given our own pets. 🐾❤️ Our routine is calm and mostly home-based. My boyfriend works part-time, I’m currently on vacation from college and spend most of my time at home, and my dad has a very flexible schedule that allows him to be home often throughout the day. With our different schedules, there is almost always someone around to give your pet company, walks, attention, and lots of love. 🐾❤️ We have a fully fenced backyard, so dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time without the risk of wandering off. Oscar and my dad are also comfortable handling larger dogs and have experience caring for them. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we always follow their usual rules, routines, and preferences as closely as possible. Our goal is to keep everything familiar so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and relaxed with us. 🐾❤️
“Seema was absolutely wonderful with Majnu. She was incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely understood his needs, which meant a lot to me. She gave me regular updates that kept me at ease and took such thoughtful care of him throughout. I could tell Majnu was comfortable and happy with her. I would 100% recommend Seema to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet sitter, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Majnu with her again.”
About: I have always loved dogs. While living in Mexico I volunteered at an animal shelter and I fostered many dogs and cats until they found their forever homes. We adopted two of these Mexican street dogs and they travelled to live with me and my family in Portugal and Scotland before we all moved back to Canada. In Portugal I also volunteered at a dog shelter spending Sunday's caring for stray dogs. I work 10 minutes from my home and can come home to check on and give a walk and bathroom break throughout the day. I am home by 4:00 during the week and am home on the weekend. Other family members would also be around to keep your dog company. We have a fenced backyard space. There are plenty of parks and walking trails close by. Your dog would feel like part of the family!

About: I’ve been lucky to be the favourite “uncle” to four amazing dogs over the years: two playful Black Labs and two lovable Rhodesian Ridgebacks, along with plenty of experience caring for puppies and dogs of all sizes. Being around dogs has always been something I genuinely love, and I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, energy level, and needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks and lots of playtime, needs extra patience while adjusting to a new routine, or simply wants some companionship and attention, I’m happy to provide care that makes them feel comfortable and happy. I take the time to get to know each dog individually and make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your furry friend with someone else, which is why I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can see how your dog is doing while you’re away. Your pup will be treated with the same love, patience, and care I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule as I'm studying part-time in graduate school for psychotherapy from home throughout the week, which gives me plenty of time to devote to pet care. Living in a house with lots of space, I'm able to give your dog the attention and exercise they need while you're away. Whether it's a quick walk, playtime, or just some cozy downtime, I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs and your schedule! When caring for your pet, my top priorities are safety, trust, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for in their environment. I understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s care is a big responsibility, and I want you to feel confident knowing they are in good hands. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs they may have, whether that includes feeding schedules, exercise preferences, medications, or their favourite ways to relax. Communication is extremely important to me, which is why I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet and home with the same respect, patience, and attention to detail that I would expect for my own.

We’re very much looking forward to continuing our ongoing services with him!”

When we’re sitting, we only welcome one dog at a time to ensure your pup gets plenty of attention and one-on-one care. We also provide walks every two hours to keep them happy and active. Safety is always our top priority. We always do a meet & greet before every stay to make sure your dog is comfortable with us, our kids, and our home. Our dog Berkley has passed away after a long and happy life, so there are no other dogs in the household currently. Dogs are always leashed on walks outside our fenced yard, and we’ll follow any care instructions you provide — down to the last detail. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out — we’re happy to chat! 🦮 New to Rover? Let us know and you can get $20 off your first booking. We look forward to meeting you and your pup! Jenn is currently a stay at home mom, with kids in school and has availability from 9am - 3pm and some evenings during the week for dog walking or visits. We’re also available evenings and weekends for dog boarding. Depending on her availability, and your needs we’ll work together to find a suitable time - whether you need to cover off a vacation, or a regular daily walk. We place a strong emphasis on safety for your dog, ensuring that they will be comfortable and well cared or during our walks, visits or boarding. For first time clients, we will arrange a meet and greet so we can meet your dog and get a feel for their personality and comfort level. Daily updates and photos will be provided so that you have peace of mind.
About: I’ve taken care of taken of dogs since I was 10 years old. Friends and family often rely on me to take care of their pets when they’re away. I’m currently working from home, and work a mix of day and evening shifts, making my schedule flexible for pet care. As long as I have some heads up, I am able to take care of your pet as needed. In the last year I’ve moved into a centrally located Dundas apartment. Dogs naturally like me and I’ve built comfort and connections with them since a small child.
“Jonathan was great! He's reliable, flexible, and took the time to play with Josie at our house on a really cold day when she didn't want to go for a longer walk. He takes pictures and provides updates too, which is always nice. We will certainly continue to book with him and would highly recommend him to others looking for a dog-walker.”

About: I grew up with pets and love taking care of them. My first pet Barney was my best friend growing up. We would play every day and I would feed her, brush and bathe her and clean her litter. She was a special part of the family for 16 years. My next pet Aiden was a very special part of my life. I always took good care of him and he was a real comfort to me when I was feeling down. I had another pet Rambo who just recently passed. She was almost 17 years old. I saved her because nobody wanted her and we always had a special bond. I appreciate their unique personalities. I am very caring and gentle. I currently work for Vogue Models & Talent which is based in Hamilton, Toronto and Vancouver. It's a fun and creative job and I enjoy it very much. I have a fenced in yard and my house is very clean and safe. I always keep my eye on the pets I care for.

“What wonderful hosts. Was very nice to get photos constantly while we were away. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to board the pet. Was a beautiful property too for the dog to roam around. Completely fenced in yard.”
“Gus had a great time with Rie and Masahiro!! They sent consistent updates to let me know how he was settling in, and took Gus for some great walks. Gus came home a happy safe puppy, which as a pet parent is all you can ask for :) definitely will book with them again”
“Adriana did a wonderful job looking after my fur baby Finn, she sent updates and pictures regulary, and was always quick with her responses. It left me feeling relaxed while on my holidays, Finn went for hikes and to the big of leash dog park, rain or shine. Her dog Mollie and Finn got along wonderfully. I would deffinalty use her again. Thank you Adriana!!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Seema and couldn’t be happier with the care she provided for my dog, Max. From the moment we met, she was very friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about dogs. Max was dropped off at 7:30 in the morning and picked up at 7:30 in the evening, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands throughout the day. Seema was extremely caring and loving toward Max. He had a great time playing fetch with her and was walked multiple times during the day. She made sure he was fed properly and well taken care of. Max also made a new friend, Yogi—an 11-month-old Golden Retriever—and they had an amazing time together, playing and running around in the backyard, even enjoying the snow. It was clear from the updates and interactions that Max was happy, comfortable, and well behaved in her care. I truly appreciate the attention, love, and dedication Seema showed. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Max and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Fabulous care! I have 2 friendly but energetic dogs, and had never left them with anyone for longer than a day, but needed to go to California for 10 days to support a friend whose husband had passed away. I was nervous about leaving them, but Lina's friendly and professional attitude made me feel confident that the dogs were in good care. She gave me updates, asked questions if needed, and followed my advice (to get one of my dogs to go downstairs). Extremely happy with the care the dogs received, and I highly recommend her as a loving and knowledgeable dogsitter. Thanks, Lina!”
“Amanda and her family took amazing care of Ripley while we were away! From the initial meet and greet to the boarding of Ripley, Amanda made the entire process smooth and a positive experience for Ripley and us.”
“Aishwarya took very good care of my dog while I was away. I was pleased to get daily updates and photos. Diesel got absolutely spoiled with cuddles, walks and some of his favourite human food! I would absolutely recommend Aishwarya and will book back again in the future! Thank you so much!!”
“Janice was super with our cat! She gave her some time outside, which Jackie loves. She made herself right at home and cuddled with Janice. From the pictures she sent us, we could tell that she felt very comfortable with her. Janice gave her the medication she needs, and looked after her meal requirements. We have full confidence in bringing Jackie back for another visit.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs for the past 8 years, so caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I started dog sitting for friends and family in high school and still regularly look after dogs today. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, or just hanging out and keeping them company, I make sure they get plenty of attention and feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. My goal is to make sure you can leave knowing your dog is in good hands and getting the same care and attention they’re used to at home. I work as a teacher during the week, so I’m typically available after 4:00 PM Monday through Thursday and after 4:30 PM on Fridays. I’m home most Friday nights and usually have plenty of availability on weekends, which gives me lots of time for walks, playtime, and keeping your dog company. My schedule can change from time to time, so I’ll always keep my Rover availability updated so you know when I’m free! I want every dog I care for to feel comfortable and at home. I have a fully fenced backyard with lots of space to run around, play, and get some fresh air. I also have an extra dog bed, toys, and treats available to help them settle in and enjoy their stay. When caring for a dog in their own home, I’m happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I know every dog is different, so I’m always happy to adjust based on what makes them happiest and most comfortable.
“Our energetic, dog loving 2 year old pup just got back from a week with Bob and Skip. He was incredibly well taken care of and clearly very comfortable there! Bob and Skip’s daily updates and photos were also very appreciated.”
“Angela and her family took great care of Neko! It was clear they made him feel at home and I was very comfortable leaving him in her care. I definitely recommend Angela to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and loving environment to leave their fur baby!”
“Linda was absolutely amazing. She is very sweet and has such good, calming energy, my dog took to her right away. She kept me updated with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. It truly felt like she loved my dog as if he were her own. Such a kind & caring person, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend.”
“Jennifer is so relaxed and it’s clear she loves all dogs. My boy is an anxious guy and is a pup so needless to say he has a lot of energy. She welcomed him and took excellent care of him. She communicated and sent updates and when we weren’t able to pick up kept him for an extra day! I have already booked again for another weekend.”
“Great experience. Very reliable and caring — our dog was happy and well looked after. Communication was easy and we felt at ease the whole time. Would definitely book again！”
“This lovely family takes really good care of my girl. I get regular updates and pictures. They love on her like she was their own. We also had a last minute issue with our trip and they were so accommodating which we are incredibly grateful for.”
“Bruno stayed with Megan for a month, and I couldn’t recommend Megan enough. I was stressed about leaving him for a month, but Megan made the whole experience completely stress-free, and I never had to worry at all. They regularly sent me pictures and updates. Bruno also became best friends with their dog, Ella, who is so sweet hearted, which made his stay even better. Their family was lovely as well, and they treated him as part of the family. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I’m so glad to know Bruno has a second home. I will definitely book again if we go on another trip or if something comes up. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.”
