Pros
- Don’t underestimate apps like Rover for this sort of thing because that’s where we found our daycare/sitter lady for when we were gone for 10 hours of the day.

- I have seen rover HORROR stories (people not showing up, people trashing your house, pets dying in their care, etc).
- Parent context: Yes! So lucky. I tried Rover & had a bad experience so I just feel like I can’t trust their vetting process. Idk anyone that I feel I can trust them with. Reply: Yes! So lucky. I tried Rover & had a bad experience so I ju...
