Joseph took care of our cat and house-sat for us for 2 weeks. In advance of our trip, we were able to do both a virtual and in-person meet and greet to ensure everyone felt comfortable and do a walk through of the house, which we really appreciated.While we were away, Joseph responded quickly to texts/any questions we sent and provided photo and text updates every 1-2 days. Upon our return, our cat seemed happy. Unfortunately, the day of our return, Joseph accidentally locked himself out of our house. He communicated with us and we were able to provide him access to a backup key. However, when we returned home about an hour and a quarter later, we were surprised to find that he was still there (he was supposed to have left much earlier in the day before we arrived home, and we knew he was running a little behind because of the lockout, but he didn’t tell us he would still be there when we walked in). He texted us that the house was clean and ready for us, but unfortunately the house was not clean and the cat litter boxes were quite smelly and appeared not to have been changed or scooped in many days. While we realize that getting locked out of the house created some delays in getting packed and tidying the house, we were upset to find the kitty litter in that state and for the clear disorganization, at least in the final day. We provided this feedback directly to Joseph and hope that this was a one-time experience. However, we would urge clear communication around any expectations for cleaning, communication, and care.

Chloe and Maddi are 10* cat sitters!  Good communication from the start and very easy to talk to.  They were well organised and so helpful.  
This sit was a big deal for us - it was a longer sit than we are used to and we were much further away, so we were already slightly anxious about leaving the cats.  Then 6 weeks before the sit one of the cats had an accident and needed major surgery - he had recovered by the time of the sit but had only just got back to a normal routine.  Chloe and Maddi gave us a lot of confidence that everything would be ok, they took everything in their stride, they dealt with a medical issue and decisions as to whether a vet visit was needed really well, kept us fully up to date and involved.  When we got back the house was immaculate and the cats were happy.
