Finding babysitters when you have a reactive dog…

We have an 8 month old, I’m sure she’d do totally fine with a babysitter for a couple hours so we could have a date night or go to a no-kids social event. However, our dog?! Not so much 🤣😭. We have a very reactive small dog. I always tell people there’s no reason to be afraid of her, but I totally understand and respect that many people might be afraid of her due to her behavior. She has extreme anxiety and is very loud. Does anyone have tips for dealing with this when needing a babysitter? Unfortunately we don’t have any family in the area, our dog is totally cool with our families since she knows them and they know how to deal with her.

I’m well aware my husband and I may never leave the house together without the baby for as long as our cranky dog lives, but hoping there’s at least some people in here to commiserate with 🤣.

**bonus points if you happen to know of a rockstar babysitter in south denver area who has an appreciation for strange neurotic dogs?? help lol
