REQUESTS ?QUESTIONS: I am usually available between 9a & 9p to respond and will always do so as soon as I am able--Thank you! Rover may suggest you add multiple sitters to your request because they are only concerned you book, not with whom. But that is not necessary & actually quite frustrating to receive as a sitter.

I appreciate the opportunity to reply & am happy to see if I am able to make your requested visits. Please don't be a 👻 Thank you!
