Overall, Cheryl was great. I only gave four stars for pet care but let me explain. I went away for 3 weeks. There was a heat wave the entire time I was away, and I was so afraid my newly planted back yard would wilt to death. Therfore, I leaned on Cheryl heavily to water my back yard plants and shrubs, which is a time-consuming job. She sent videos of my back yard along the way to show me how things were looking. As well as the outside, she also watered my indoor plants regularly. I returned home to see all my new shrubs and plants thriving despite the high 90 degree temps. I also returned to a wonderfully clean house and a satisfied kitty. The main issue around the pet care was that Cheryl believed my kitty should be fed more than I have been feeding him for the past 11 years (based on vet's recommendation) . Despite our email communication regarding her concerns he was not fed enough, and me clearly stating to keep to the feeding directions I'd left, Cheryl disregarded this and fed him more anyway. Although I'd left more than enough cat food to cover the time I was away, the last week she ran out of cat food and needed to buy more. I felt Cheryl was not tuned in to my cat's behavior. While she interpreted my cat was hungry whenever he meowed, much of the time he simply wants/needs/responds well to some gentle talking to with affectionate touching (massages, hair brushing, rubbing his belly), or just a few minutes of interactive play. Yet if food is offered, he will never turn it down. During Cheryl's housesit, I emphasized the yard watering. Because I felt like this was a big inconvenience and burden to place on anyone, I didn't want to emphasize that my sweet cat also required alot of attention. I knew my kitty could make it through 3 weeks on less than his usual amount of loving, but my yard would not survive a heat wave without watering! Because of my choice, I take some responsibility for the perceived lack of attention in the pet department.

Words cannot express how wonderful a sitter and human being that Chi is. Not only did she arrive at our house when it was not at its best and not complain, she took exceptional care of our furries, both of whom have health care needs and require twice daily meds. Chi was very communicative from the beginning and with her experience got us organized to provide what she needed to be successful during her stay at our home. Anticipating that we would be harried in preparing ourselves, our doggies and home for the trip, she kept us focused and reminded us of any updates needed to our house manual to ensure a smooth transition. While we were away, she sent photos and videos in a way that left us with no doubt that she was the best caregiver for our pampered and persnickety duo. When she had questions, she reached out and we worked to resolve any issues as best we could as quickly as we could. As I noted before, our house was not at its best, yet she managed during the stay and left us helpful notes on things we needed to take care of upon our return. The house was also clean and ready for our return. What was best about Chi was her flexibility to meet with us before our trip so that we could all get acquainted, including the doggies, and that she really took time to bond with them and spend time while they were together. It really made all the difference in terms of their comfort level in that we left early in the morning and arrived home very late, a week later. They were both excited and happy to see us but not at all stressed or harried, the hallmarks of a great sit for our two. We would highly recommend Chi to others as a trusted pet and house sitter, and would not hesitate to ask her to sit for our Sophia and Larry in the future should the need arise.
