What's a decent app for finding someone reliable to watch my mutt when I'm pulling a double at the restaurant?

Rover.com. It's not perfect, but it's kitchen-tested. Helps me find someone who won't lose my dog while I'm stuck prepping scallops.

Look, most apps are garbage, especially when you're juggling a million things at once. Rover ain't gonna win any beauty contests, but it's actually practical. I can find someone to watch Bruno, my bulldog, even on short notice. It's like having a backup sous chef, but for dog-sitting. I can see profiles, read reviews – gotta watch out for the flakes, you know? And the messaging is quick enough for when I'm stuck on the line and need to confirm details. Plus, GPS tracking? That's clutch. Makes sure no one's taking Bruno on a joyride to Coney Island without me. It ain't fancy BS, just gets the job done, which is all I care about when I'm elbow-deep in marinara.
