“Niccola was GREAT!!!!! Our 2 pups loved having her backyard to romp in and having her babysit them gave us a couple of days to relax and enjoy the local area without them LOL!

“This was an excellent experience with great care for our dog. Chili has special heart problem that requires her to have medication three times a day so we rarely leave her but, Jed and Tara handled it with care and attention! Chili loved playing with their children and did not want to leave when we came to pick her up she was having so much fun. They were flexible, communicative and cared well for our dog. Thank you!”
“We had a last minute cancellation by a dog sitter and Rover was recommended. We selected Thomas and Lisa after having a meeting with our frenchie and their pugs and family. Our baby was so happy there, she went to the park daily, had friends to play with and was given love like we give. Pictures were sent to us daily, and we will likely have future playdates as she loved being with their family. This will definitely be our go to family for any of our pet sitting needs!!!”
“Mary & Teg are amazing!! They gave my 1.5 year old pug Ziah so much love. I felt 100% at peace and comfortable while gone on my vacation.

I HIGHLY recommend them and will without a doubt choose Mary & Teg to watch my little girl every time!! Thank you!!!!”

About: I’ve watched cats for friends occasionally and lived with a cat for about a year. I love their independent nature and willingness to tolerate humans on a case by case basis. Gotta respect their hilarious ways.
“We booked Jo to cat sit our one cat for a little more than a week. It was our first time having a cat sitter, and Jo was outstanding the whole duration. We had well written updates every visit with multiple pictures of our girl. Jo has a great eye for detail and diligently tended to our cat's needs. Jo was greatly accommodating and even left her a couple of well appreciated goodbye gifts. We were confident from Day 1 and the whole way through that we were in good hands. We'll be looking into Jo's availability the next time we need a cat sitter.”

During my visits, your pet receives dedicated one-on-one attention through focused play and cuddles, treating them as the beloved family member they are. You will receive detailed daily photo "pupdates" and regular wellness reports, guaranteeing you complete peace of mind while you are away.
About: Cats are some of my favorite people. I have fostered many of them in my home at various times, from neonatal kittens to sassy seniors. They all have their own personalities- some are in your face with their playfulness, while others prefer to spectate from high above. Each of them has boundaries- I always make a point to respect their terms and never force interaction.
“Shelby did a wonderful job during the drop-in visit with Cooper! Every instruction was followed carefully, and it was clear that a lot of attention and care went into making sure Cooper felt comfortable and happy. Shelby was both professional and incredibly kind, creating such a positive experience from start to finish. It’s such a relief knowing Cooper is in such loving and capable hands. Highly recommend!”
“Loren is our go-to gal when we are out of town. She takes the best pictures of our cats and gives great updates. We really appreciate the peace of mind knowing that they are well loved and taken care of while we are away. Thank you Loren!!”
“All 4 of my kitties warmed up to Sandy quickly. She is kind and calm which is what my shy kitties needed. Great communicator, reliable and helpful. Sent us lots of pics, too, while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Grace took very good care of our kitty while we were gone and kept us very well informed with pictures and updates. Also, very responsive to our needs. Will definitely use Grace again.”
“If you're looking for a great Rover experience then I would highly recommend Alanna. Alanna did a wonderful job in not only taking care of our cat, but went above and beyond in helping us with our packages that came to our house while we were out. Not only did she do that without hesitation, but also brought in our trash cans. Our cat loved her and we greatly appreciate all the actions that Alanna did to make our travel experience less stressful. I don't normally write reviews so this tells you everything that you need to know about Alanna. She is great and will go above and beyond in your Rover experience. We will be booking for sure with her in the future.”
“Zara is absolutely amazing!! She left such detailed care notes and sent tons of photos which is really appreciated. She goes above and beyond - truly the BEST cat sitter we’ve had. We were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing that our cats were in the best hands. 10/10 😊”
“Travis is the best! We feel so grateful that Milo our precious kitty is well cared for by him whenever we leave town. Travis is so responsible, reliable, and caring. Our Milo loves him! 🐯🙌🏽♥️”
“I had a wonderful experience with Caitlin and couldn’t be happier with the care my cat received. From the very beginning, she was professional, communicative, and clearly passionate about animals. She took the time to understand my cat’s personality, favorite toy and treats which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I especially appreciated the regular updates, including photos and messages, which reassured me that my cat was well cared for. It was clear my cat wasn’t just being looked after, but genuinely cared for and given attention and affection.”
About: I have grown up fostering kittens, taking care of kittens, and cats.. I know how to administer medications, and know cat behavior. I will always respect the boundaries of your cat. On a walk, I will always try to say hi to a cat and become friends, one of my favorite hobbies.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Pismo Beach
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: To stay busy as a child, I walked and house sat practically the entire neighborhood’s beloved pet. Summer days were filled with miles of dog walking adventures with a dedicated cabinet to keep the hundreds of house keys safe. Even now, as I begin grad school at Cal Poly, I can’t imagine my routine without it! Morning exercise, study breaks throughout the day, and evening walks are a perfect time for animal care sessions. Having a sister who is a vet, I am only a quick call away from an expert diagnosis if ever necessary. I have piece of mind knowing assistance is close and years of experience keeping animals happy and safe. I am currently enrolled in Cal Poly’s Master’s program for Biomedical Engineering, which is completely virtual this quarter and likely next. This allows for a very flexible schedule with frequent study breaks for pet walks or visits. The remote lessons even allow me to listen to lectures while with your pet in your home for extended pet company. My house is close to the bike path and terrace hill for the perfect pet excursion sure to leave them tired and happy. I love running to accommodate the high energy animals as well as the leisurely hike for those who are slowing down or prefer a casual sniff around.

“Miki was AMAZING with my adult dog Moose. She was welcoming and friendly and communicated extremely well. She sent us updates throughout the day and was very responsive. She walked my dog and took care of him like he was her own pet! She made him comfortable and he isn’t easy to trust right away but with Miki and her family Moose seemed to feel right at home. We booked her for day care 2 days, back to back, and Moose seemed excited to go back! I hope she’s available next time we need a sitter because she will be the first person that comes to mind. Thank you Miki! We appreciate you so much 😄”
“Absolutely fantastic! Matthew took fabulous care of our pup! We were visiting from out of town and planned a day at the water park that wasn't pet friendly. He accepted right away, asked all the right questions. Just an all around kind person who's great with dogs! 10000% recommend.”
“Mr. Mack had a great time with Lauren and family. He feels right at home in their home. He had play time, cuddle time, walk time and lunch time -- all bases covered! We will find future dates to request daycare again because we are 100% confident Mr. Mack is well loved and adored in their care.”

“Tami took my pup's anxiety in stride and she clearly won him over quickly. He was snuggling up to her and clearly had a great day. Thanks for taking care of our puppy for the day so we could take a tour of Hearst Castle!”
“5 star sitter. Sheridan welcomed our 2 dogs into her home with such kindness and made us and them feel right at home. I would highly recommend for your dog sitter needs. Thank you!”
“Paul was fabulous with our energetic rescue dog Rocky (the rocket). While we were on vacation in Pismo Beach, Paul watched Rocky all day for a couple days. He exercised and loved on Rocky for many hours, which gave us free time to be tourists in the area. We will definitely see if he's available again in the future, when we're back in the area. We highly recommend Paul for doggy daycare in the area. Rocky had a wonderful time. Thanks Paul!”
“Thomas did a great job taking care of my 6 month old puppy. He was very communicative whenever I wanted puppy updates and took my dog on daily hikes and walks to the beach and dog park.”
About: I was raised on a farm and have grown up with pets my whole life. I have experience with a wide variety of animals and pets of all ages. I am currently working full-time from home. I am able to provide company all day and/or leave at most times to take a furry friend on a walk. Since I work from home I am able to spend the majority of my day with pets as my schedule usually allows me to have a lot of flexibility.
About: Hi pet parents! My names Lauren and I have worked with animals for 10+ years. I have two dogs of my own that would love to help socialize your pups! I have experience working at a dog daycare/kennel. I also have experience with working on leash manners, socialization, and administering medications. I would love to have your pups join my pack on a nice walk, evening hike, or beach walk! Pet care is a number one priority! I will work with each pet parent to make sure both our schedules work for the pets needs and care level! Pets are always welcome in my home! They will receive the same love and care as if they are my own! Pets will be in our gated yard or enjoying free time at the park close by!
About: Every creature I meet - from fuzzy, waggy, purry fluff balls to mysterious little pocket-sized critters - is an adventure waiting to happen. I greet each one with sparkling excitement and big-hearted curiosity and love. 🏡🐶🐱 Due to remote working, I’m always here for your animal!! Animals at my house get the luxury of having interaction at their paws 🐾 Animals know I understand their secret frequency. My patience, gentleness, and playful spirit make them feel like they've found their long-lost best friend. I’ve had animals by my side my whole life, which is probably why I’m basically an animal whisperer at this point. They sense my intuition — that soft, instinctive way I know exactly what they need, whether it's a snack, a cuddle, or something else. Animals aren't just pets. They're honorary members of my family; my tiny roommates with fur. My home is their kingdom; my heart is their cozy lounge. Where I go, animals follow — because they know I’m the kind of human who truly gets them. I don’t just fit animals into my schedule — I weave them into my day. My routine is delightfully flexible, perfectly shaped to welcome paws. My schedule is flexible and intuitive, allowing me to build in regular check-ins, feeding times, walks, and play sessions without stress or disruption. I move through my tasks with patience, intuition, and a sprinkle of magic — knowing exactly when a dog needs an extra trot around the block or when a cat needs a dramatic feather-toy performance. Animals slip into my schedule so naturally you’d think they helped design it. To every pet I care for, I’m the whimsical guardian who arrives right when they need me — the keeper of routines, the bringer of fun, and the human who makes their day just a little more sparkly. Safety begins with awareness, consistency, and preparation. When caring for an animal, I create a space where their physical well-being is always the first priority. That means secure environments (no open doors if they are not allowed out, hazardous items, or unsafe spaces), proper handling, and mindful supervision during walks, play, or feeding. I pay attention to their routines, health cues, and comfort levels, making sure they’re protected from stress, danger, or anything unfamiliar that could overwhelm them. A safe animal is a relaxed animal — and I make that possible. A good environment is one that supports an animal’s emotional and physical needs. I create spaces that feel safe, comfortable, and full of enrichment — spots for quiet rest, opportunities for play, and room to explore without fear. My presence makes the environment even better: calm, welcoming, and filled with positive interactions. Whether the animal is staying in my home or I’m in theirs, I make sure their surroundings feel familiar, soothing, and full of the little comforts that help them thrive.
“Shannon is an amazing dog sitter. She instantly loves your dog like they are her own. Her environment is welcoming and pet-friendly and set up so that your dog feels right at home! I brought my 2 mini golden doodles to Shannon for the week and they bonded right away - with her and her dog family! It was comforting to know they were well loved and cared for all day, with dog buddies, walks in the afternoon, cuddles, and had a great yard to run around! I highly recommend Shannon! She is trustworthy and kind, and a great person all around.”
“Katie is amazing! She had a wonderful first day with our pup Jack. She is very warm and professional, and an obvious dog-lover! Jack felt right at home and he loved spending the day with her and sweet Sumi. Katie was very responsive and she sent pics and updates throughout the day. She took Jack out for walks and treated him like he was her own fur-baby. We will definitely be using Katie again for watching Jack. We all loved her!”

I also have Fridays available but after 3:30pm When doing drop ins in your home I will follow all instructions to care for your pets.

About: Hi! I’m Beverly, a registered nurse, wife, and mom to two boys. Our family loves animals, and dogs have always been a big part of our lives. We have experience caring for both large and small breeds and understand that every dog has their own unique personality and needs. One of the reasons I joined Rover is because my 9 year old son, Andrew, loves dogs and is hoping to earn a little extra summer spending money while learning responsibility and the value of hard work. Any dog walks, drop in visits, or pet sitting services will be booked through me and supervised by me, but Andrew loves helping give extra attention, playtime, and walks to our furry guests. As a family, we enjoy being outdoors and taking walks together, so your pup will receive plenty of exercise, affection, and companionship. Whether your dog needs a walk, a check in while you’re away, or loving care during a longer stay, we’ll treat them like part of our family. We look forward to meeting you and your four legged family member! Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because we already enjoy family walks, outdoor time, and spending time with animals. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable visits, walks, feedings, and check ins throughout the day. My son Andrew loves helping care for dogs, making sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. We understand that dogs are most comfortable in their own home, and we are happy to provide loving care in a familiar environment while you’re away. We will follow your pet’s normal routine, including walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. As a nurse and lifelong dog owner, I know how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your family member, and my son Andrew loves helping give dogs extra companionship and exercise.
“I'm a type A worry wart when it comes to my furry family members. I am so very thankful that Kayla was able to help us navigate a last minute request to look in on my dog and cat. Kayla was super sweet with both our dog and cat (our dog was super sad to have them only for visits!) and we are so thankful for their help!”

“I have noticed major improvements in my Rottweiler's separation anxiety and overall well-being since Aline started walking her. There's no doubt that this is because of Aline's reliability, kind spirit and helpfulness. It is so reassuring to know she is there for my dog when I can't be!”
“5 Stars!!! Cameron made my vacation worry free by taking care for my German Shephard for 4 weeks. Cameron absolutely the Best. We will book Cameron again and will recommend to our friends. His service greatly appreciated.”
“Kristen went above and beyond. Excellent communications and coordination including calling Rover for me to address a scheduling problem. Kristen appreciated our pup and worked with my wife to coordinate walks. 100% recommend Kristen.”
About: I have owned and taken care of pets all my life. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and cats as well. I have experience with small animals and aquatic pets as well. I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I recently graduated from college and am now a full-time teacher. Now that it is summer, my availability has opened up. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I am able to provide consistent walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. Whether I am dog walking or pet sitting, ensuring trust and pet safety is my number 1 priority. I understand the importance of building trust with both the pets and their owners, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in my presence. For pet sitting, I create a nurturing environment by following the pet's usual routines, providing plenty of affection and attention, and keeping the surroundings clean and comfortable. I adhere to strict safety protocols for dog walking, including using secure leashes, monitoring pet health, and using safe routes. My goal is to offer peace of mind to pet owners, knowing their beloved pets are in caring and capable hands.
About: Hi there! I’m Miki, based in Arroyo Grande, CA. I’m back on Rover after taking a break for a while. I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have over 10 years of pet sitting experience — both personally and on Rover. At home, we have: • Lucy, our sweet senior Shih Tzu who loves her naps and quiet time • Anko, a playful 1-year-old Lab mix who’s board-and-train certified and loves making new doggie friends 🐶✨ Whether your pup prefers cozy relaxation or a fun playmate, our home offers the perfect balance. We take long walks, visit local dog parks (like Laguna Lake), and treat every dog like a member of the family. ✅ Dog-loving household ✅ I work from home 100% ✅ Experienced with both seniors and high-energy pups ✅ Safe, warm, and communication-friendly environment Looking forward to meeting your pup and providing the “feels like home” care my returning clients know and love! 🐾✨ I stay at home pretty much all day every day as I work from home. Especially when your doggy stays with us, I don’t leave the house unless it’s really necessary or go to park with doggies. Our front yard door stays open all day so doggies can go in and out whenever they want. I have a fenced yard, so they can play outside anytime they want. I usually leave the back yard door open so dogs can go out whenever they want.
About: I’ve had dogs and cat for the last 7-8 years. They have been so good to us and we’ve enjoyed them more than I imagined. I have a business that I’ve owned for seven years and I’m able to make my own schedule. Also, my homeschooled kids are home and willing to help if I ever need it. I have done 20+ years of babysitting and childcare in my home and other peoples homes. Plus, I’ve had clients that I have worked for and have trusted me with their keys to their home for seven years.
“Riley made my first experience with rover.com a great one. She was able to fit me in on short notice. She quickly covered excellent pertinent questions then set off to explore my hilly neighborhood. She gave me a useful report on her return (I’m a new dog parent just adopted) and clearly worked hard at giving my dog some good exercise. Thanks Riley!”
About: I am passionate about animals and have always loved being around both fluffy feathery and scaly creatures! 🐶I have been taking care of neighbors, families, and friends pets for the past 4 years.

“Caitlin goes above and beyond the call of duty and it shows! My doggo is super attached to me so wasn’t so excited to go on a walk with her on their first day. Because she took the time to build his trust and spends extra time with him to build an alliance, I have nothing but great things to say about her!”
About: Can’t wait to hang out with your pet. I’ll always make sure they have fun with me. I’d love dogs but I think it’s a big step and prefer to be a sitter for now It fits in because I have a lot of free time and I’d love to spend time with animals ! Also I really love that I can get out and exercise and I am adding that to my daily routine Making sure my home or clean and free of any harm to animals or any one really. I live near the beach. So it’s perfect for a walk and there is a dog park nearby
About: Growing up on a ranch, I’ve been around animals my whole life and have cared for pets for friends and family over the years. I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines, and I always make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I treat them like my own and try to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Available evenings and weekends. I’m flexible, reliable, and able to give pets my full attention, while keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. I can also accommodate last minute bookings when possible. I try to keep things as normal as possible for your pet by sticking to their routine. I make sure they’re fed, exercised, and getting plenty of attention, while also keeping your home clean and respected. I adjust to each pet’s personality and always keep you updated so you know they’re happy and in good hands.
About: Dogs are sent from God to make human lives complete. I'm lucky to have 1 well-adjusted one. It's a privilege to spend time around dogs; I treat them with respect and also have expectations for them. The result: a happy pack! (When you're making your dog care choice, please know I prefer dogs who are potty / house trained & treated for flea / tick). Dogs are like my children. They're having fun and learning at the same time. Exercise, water, attention and play time is what makes a good dog! They're a priority when they're with me and no decisions are made without considering how it affects my dog / dogs. I understand each dog is unique; they have their own personality and experiences which make them who they are. That being said, there isn't a "cookie cutter" way to treat a dog. Knowing each one, what they fear or love, what it takes to make them happy is what makes for a good outcome. My ultimate goal is for your dog to leap out of your car when he / she arrives at my home or sees me walk through your door.
“Travis is wonderful - he kindly met me before regular walks started so that I felt comfortable giving him keys & he could meet my dog Charlie. He has been super reliable, takes photos & gives excellent, thorough updates. It’s wonderful to know Charlie is in such good hands. Thank you Travis!”

“Lauren was wonderful with my dog, Charlie - she accommodated his special needs and was loving and caring with him. I always know he has had good care when I come home and he’s excited to see me but is also calm and centered. Thank you, Lauren!”
“Niccola was GREAT!!!!! Our 2 pups loved having her backyard to romp in and having her babysit them gave us a couple of days to relax and enjoy the local area without them LOL! We will DEFINITELY use her again when in the area and would recommend her highly to anyone who needs to board their fur babies.”

“This was an excellent experience with great care for our dog. Chili has special heart problem that requires her to have medication three times a day so we rarely leave her but, Jed and Tara handled it with care and attention! Chili loved playing with their children and did not want to leave when we came to pick her up she was having so much fun. They were flexible, communicative and cared well for our dog. Thank you!”
“We had a last minute cancellation by a dog sitter and Rover was recommended. We selected Thomas and Lisa after having a meeting with our frenchie and their pugs and family. Our baby was so happy there, she went to the park daily, had friends to play with and was given love like we give. Pictures were sent to us daily, and we will likely have future playdates as she loved being with their family. This will definitely be our go to family for any of our pet sitting needs!!!”
“My small dog enjoyed her stay with Douglas. He treated her as if she were his own and kept me updated daily with texts, photos, and videos to show me how she was doing.”
“I felt very confident that my Ridgeback was in safe hands with Adrienne. It was our first overnight stay with her, and she kept me informed throughout and sent pictures during their walks. I highly recommend Adrienne for dog sitting.”
“Riley looked great and happy when we returned from an overseas vacation. Kara was very pleasant, caring and took good care of Riley. I am going on a trip in 2016 and be checking in to ask Kara for her help again.”
About: I’ve had experience caring for large dogs my whole life and currently handle most of the day-to-day care for my own dog, so I’m very comfortable with feeding routines, walks, exercise, and keeping dogs happy and well-behaved. I’ve also been pet sitting since high school, caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. What sets me apart is how attentive and hands-on I am. I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m especially confident with bigger dogs and can adapt to each dog’s routine, whether that means active playtime or a calmer, more relaxed environment. Until early June, I have school and work during the week, along with some busy weekends, but I’m still available for pet care with enough notice and can work around my schedule. Starting in the summer, I’ll have a much more open and flexible schedule and am looking to take on more pet sitting opportunities. I’m happy to accommodate different routines and make sure your pet gets consistent, reliable care. I provide a clean, safe, and cozy environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I’m a very active person, so I love taking dogs on walks and making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. I also make time for calmer moments, like relaxing and giving pets the affection and companionship they’re used to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine to help them feel at ease, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. My goal is always to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Lillylu stayed with Kyle and Sara for 14 days. I received daily updates with a photo or video. Lilly was a happy , loved and cared for doggie in their care. They were so kind as to give Lilly an Oatmeal bath before my return. I feel so blessed that I found the perfect fit for my Lillylu. ❤️🐶❤️”
“We have used Marin twice and it was such a dreamy experience! I love that my dog gets to be with her family and the sweet children . Marin is super accommodating and communicative . I got pics of my sweet babes with updates, which really helped me to not worry about them while I was gone . Marin and her family really are so great ! I just can’t say enough about how happy I am to have found them to take care of my favorite beings .”
“Anna and her brother were extremely amazing, loved getting the pictures and videos of our furry baby, I will definitely be using them again for our vacations. He was at home away from home, he’d loved Winnie and it was just an amazing experience. She treats him like her own, thank you so much for all you did for our furry baby.”
About: hi there!! my love for animals is unmatched and i hope to share some love to as many animals as i can! i just retired as a d1 college gymnast and i graduate from san jose state university in the fall of 2026, so i have much more time on my hands now that i am done with gymnastics. i’ve grown up with only cats, but i have helped with dog sitting for family members and my friends many times! The most important thing to me is communication and you can trust me when I say that if I am confused or have a question or need any clarification, I will ask. Keeping your pets the safest and most comfortable as possible is #1 . I look forward to hopefully meeting your pet and creating a fun and strong bond with them! thanks so much I’m in the gymnastics team at SJSU and we just finished season so our schedule is quiet clear then it used to be! Weekends are better for overnight care, and I can wake up however early and stay up however late that is needed for the owner! Right now, anytime after 5:30 during the week is best. I care for pets by showing them attention, feeding them and giving them the everyday needs, playing with them outside, teaching more tricks, and loving them as if they’re my own!
“We were so thankful to find Josh to watch our Lucy for 5 nights. He sent us daily updates and from the looks of the pictures Lucy seemed very happy at his home and especially happy with his daughters. We would recommend!”
“Buddy, our golden retriever loved his stay at Alicia’s - he especially liked her daughter and told us all about her when we picked him up. Wonderful family - super clean and very safe from streets. Thanks for the great care!”
About: Hi pet parents! My names Lauren and I have worked with animals for 10+ years. I have two dogs of my own that would love to help socialize your pups! I have experience working at a dog daycare/kennel. I also have experience with working on leash manners, socialization, and administering medications. I would love to have your pups join my pack on a nice walk, evening hike, or beach walk! Pet care is a number one priority! I will work with each pet parent to make sure both our schedules work for the pets needs and care level! Pets are always welcome in my home! They will receive the same love and care as if they are my own! Pets will be in our gated yard or enjoying free time at the park close by!
“Jahre and Seth were fantastic sitters for our two boys! When we chatted before, I immediately knew it was a great fit and they would be in great hands. They are so kind and attentive and really made our pups feel at home with them. We will absolutely use them again and highly recommend them as sitters.”
