Halfway through a work call, my phone buzzed with a map of the route and a goofy photo of my dog sniffing a flowerbed. That little update sold me on rebooking. Scheduling was easy, payment went through in seconds, and the keys were dropped back in the lockbox. Rates vary a lot by sitter, so I bookmarked a couple of favorites. It’s not perfect, but it’s very convenient and surprisingly personal when you find the right match.
