Lina was delightful.  She was resourceful, competent and very caring of our pet.  We'd recommend Lina highly to others and would welcome her back any time.

I really enjoyed my time here with Ollie and Ginger.  It was super hot but thankfully Michelle and John have air conditioning and the table and chairs out in back were in shade a good part of the day, so it was a comfortable place to sit in the mornings while keeping an eye on the kitties.  The house is close to everything (and turned out to be less than a mile from a friend, so an easy walk home after visiting her over a glass of wine).  The bed was comfy and I slept well.  Communication/responses were very timely and cat personalities were accurate.  They both accepted me right away but Ginger is quieter and often content to sit in her cat condo.  Ollie is a rascal - but such an adorable one!  He and I had many conversations.  I would do another sit here.

Thanks Shonagh, Ewan, Poppy and Cookie for letting me stay in your beautiful and comfy home. I stayed for 2 weeks in the summer and whilst hot, I had a great time in Austin. The house is in a great location. I seldom had to drive more than 10 minutes to get anywhere. 

Cookie is a very sweet, low maintenance pooch. Taking care of her was really rewarding- (especially the zoomies after a walk). Shonagh and Ewan gave me great recommendations for Austin, and were really easy going and accommodating. I can recommend this sit to anyone trying to explore Austin.
Thanks Speirs family :)

Let me start up by saying that I have been house-sitting for 15 years I have been working with trusted pet sitters for one year I've never encountered anything like this before. The bedroom that she wanted me to stay in smelled horribly of urine. It was overwhelming. It's hard to know what to do arriving as a house sitter when you made a commitment to watch a dog and the bedroom they want you to stay in is unsanitary. When I pulled back the spread and the sheets to see where the smell was coming from I found vomit stains I found defecation stains and urine stains. There were also cockroaches. Very large cockroaches. If I could I would attach pictures I would but I don't think trusted pets are allows this. 

The homeowner changed her dates twice. She would not give me the date that she was coming back after she left when she had changed her plans. I was left not knowing what kind of plans I had to make for myself. I had some complications of my well-being while staying there and needed to see a doctor and made an appointment and she was very rude to me about this. Even though I made my doctor's appointment for after she would be home. 
Now let's get to the dog. I love dogs and I felt bad for this dog. It has separation anxiety and can't tolerate you leaving it for a minute. The dog is kept outside when you have to go out It doesn't have a dog house or any kind of shelter  where it can get shade. The dog barks the whole entire time you are gone (The neighbors let me know this) so I hardly left. If you were planning on coming to Charleston to go to Charleston this is no place to stay. The dog is also very difficult to walk she wants you to walk it 2 mi a day and it pulls backwards when you're trying to walk it so I didn't end up walking it very far because I didn't want to hurt the animal. I am kind to animals and I don't want to pull them down the street.

The homeowner did not want me to use the air conditioning. Even though it was 86 in the house when I arrived.

The homeowner did not think of this as a partnership she thought she was my boss and did not show me any respect.
I could say more but I think that is enough to allow any sane person to make a decision about having this to be a place where you would stay.

Philippa's house was bright, clean and in a beautiful location. We absolutely loved looking after Nessa, who showers you with affection from the moment you wake up and welcomes you home with cries of excitement! We couldn't have asked anything more for a our first 'trusted Housesitters' housesit and we highly recommend looking after Nessa in Philippa's home.

Being with the three Dogs in Mollie's home has been delightful.  Very peaceful and calm...the Dogs are very very sweet.  Mollie was very welcoming and her home is clean and everything I needed to Care for the Dogs was conveniently placed for me.
