The question that matters most

“If my dog gets hurt or sick and you can’t reach me, what exactly do you do?”

A good sitter names a vet, a route, a backup, and asks how much they’re allowed to spend. “I’d figure it out” means they’d be making a plan at 2 a.m.

Who it’s for

Dog owners who travel a few times a year and want more than a star rating, whether you’re booking through an app, a neighbor, or a boarding place.
