Pros: Brandi was a very nice person. I came home to my kitty and she was all good. She was flexible with her dates. Cons: Brandi stated she left August 11th but the video shows her leaving on the 10th, so she was dishonest. She mention my cat food having bugs in them so she threw out a whole half bag of hard food. My apartment is kept very tidy, theee only reason flies come out is if fruit is left out and she must have left food or something out that attracted the bugs. We originally discussed her only house sitting a month so she could allow client's from peer space in the apartment and sell off or receive furniture. I was lucky enough that she agreed to sit for meadow as well. My gut told me to hold off on peer space because I was getting good cell service at my silent retreat. I'm so so so so glad I did after seeing how she left my apartment floors and bathroom. She would of had to clean up after each peer space and I feel clients would have not been happy with the cleanliness. I don't even have living room furniture yet, just boxes so it should have been a breeze to sweep, vacuum, mop. There's plenty of cleaning rags and cleaners. I have white floors and she must have used dirty mop water all throughout the floor. Dirty streaks and foot prints all over the floor. She left the dirty mop water with the mop in it right in the living room. When mopping a bug place like mine you at least need to change the water four to six times. There was cereal left out and open. Cat food was left open on the counter. Water bowl didn't look clean, full of fur on top. Cereal crumbs on the floor. Coffee bean sprinkles on the cabinets. I usually leave my dishwasher cracked. She must have closed it shut and never opened it ever....because four wooden pieces inside molded over. It was full of clean dishes, pots, pans, utensils, etc. Her hair products on the sink. Empty raw sugar box left in cabinet. Bathroom: sink was sticky, toilet had poop stains (smh I had to clean), and my precious bath tub was filthy. There was black specks in it and I had to wash it four times at least before soaking. I looked forward to coming home and relaxing but I cleaned 3-4 hours. I didn't except her to leave it immaculate however this was more than just touching up for me. There were multiple finger and hand prints on the walls from make up and whatever else was on her hands. This was in my hallway, bedroom, and bathroom. Bedroom: bedroom was ok, some cereal crumbs on the bed and under but nothing major. The bedding was left in the dryer, which was ok but it smelled odd so I re washed it. Two weeks in and she sent a few photos but definitely not daily. Also, two weeks in I became pretty sick and needed to come home to go to the doctor for a few days. I offered to sleep in the living room but her dad lived close by so I guess she said shed make other arrangements so she would have gone there possibly. A day later she requested to end the stay early, which was fine yet very inconvenient. I ended up going to emergency room upstate. She was patient with me and I decided not to travel back home while sick so we agreed on the 11th. She kept mentioning that I could come back earlier if I wanted to. I guess maybe the train sound got to her. I had a feeling she left early, but the video confirmed it. Not sure why she would think that I wouldn't verify. The cameras are visible outside my door.

Amy
I’ve had an absolutely awesome experience house and pet sitting for Amy! The cats are lovely, super social and easy to look after. By the end of the week I felt I really knew their individual personalities and was sad to leave them. Amy’s apartment is really well equipped and the garden is dreamy, I could be very happy there for hours on end! And the location is amazing, close the the cable up to Verbier and so many hikes and bike routes on the doorstep. I’d absolutely apply to visit again!

Jennie
We feel so lucky to have had the chance to house sit for Jennie and Paul! They were so incredibly welcoming and accomodating and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. We were extremely well taken care of, they gave us fantastic recommendations on things to do as well as providing other general advice and support throughout our stay. 

As well as having a fantastic place to stay and relax, Brenin and Daisy are the best duo and will provide you with endless hours of entertainment and cuddles, they are easy going in nature and loved going on walks in the local area as well as visiting their favourite lake. We are missing them lots now that we are gone and are still raving to all our family and friends about the amazing time we had. 

We couldn’t recommend this experience highly enough, Paul and Jennie are the best sort of people and we hope to keep in touch with them.

Alex and Annie were the perfect hosts. They were open, honest,kind and respectful. They made us feel right at home. This sit enabled us to spend a magical Christmas with our family in the UK thanks to both Alex and Annie. The community around the farm consisting of both their family and friends so helpful with nothing too much trouble. Colin and Blackie were great ponies with lovely personalities. The house was amazing, clean very comfortable and very warm. It was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend anyone to take a sit here. We’d come back in a heartbeat.

Gemma
It was nice to meet Gemma and Hindsight at their place in Hemel Hempstead.  Hindsight is a great little fella, very easy to care for, liked hanging out and being on the lap at night time, is great, easy going company.  Gemma prepped well with lots of information about his needs / routine and her expectations so it was easy to look out for him and her place.  Communication with Gemma was easy with prompt and helpful replies.  Gemma’s place is lovely, has everything you might need, is close to shops, transport and similar, and is very clean / well maintained.  Recommend sitting for Gemma and Hindsight.
