When you need a dogsitter in a hurry...

After Jimmy Kimmel, the night before my recent heart ablation, RonTom read my unread instructions the doctor gave two days earlier. “Bring a responsible adult to stay with you overnight at the hospital.”

Not knowing of a responsible adult sitting service (not a bad idea), an app on the phone came to mind. A fairly new dogsitter, with “five star” reviews, lives less than 3 miles from us, and she stays overnight. By 1 a.m., she had answered all my text questions and my credit card payment went through. We hid a key, and she arrived mid-morning while we were already at the hospital.

A KissMe photo and updates arrived on my iPhone before I was rolled away.
