We have never hired a sitter for our 3 yo son and were nervous about doing so. Along with our son, we also have a 100lb rottweiler that can be a little intimidating and protective of our son. We had a last min invite to an event and needed a babysitter within a couple hours so we decided to try this website out. Not only did Austin respond to us with/in minutes but was very polite and available and helps that he lives close by. We agreed for him to come to our house so we can see how he would be able to handle a 3 yo and a huge, protective dog. He was amazing, very patient with both our son and dog. They don't take easily to strangers but he managed to gain there trust. He came over around 8pm and we had a sort of supervised visit for a couple hours for him to get comfortable with the dog and our son. By the time we were leaving at 10pm, we said bye and our son didn't even pay attention to us. He was having a great time with Austin. Would def have him as a sitter again and recommend him to anyone.
