Mindy stayed at our home in Morro Bay for 3 weeks and took great care of our dog and home. We came home to a clean house and a healthy dog. She was also great at communicating with us before, during and after her stay.
I really don't know where to begin in my praise of Melinda as both a cat and home sitter. Melinda and John came to my rescue after another sitter became ill and couldn't come after I had already left my home (luckily I have fantastic neighbors). But, my sweet kitty is QUITE skittish and rarely allows anyone to get near her if I am not present. Melinda arrived (pushed up her arrival date when she heard about my saga) and, going on just a video I had made for the previous sitter, she somehow managed to have Roxie sitting on her lap within a couple of days!! Melinda figured out how to coax Roxie with small portions of food, sent regular photos, also sent me photos of important-looking mail, kept me in the loop as issues came up with the house (ie...an old dishwasher that was not behaving). Nothing seemed to phase them and they were always pleasant. When I came home, that house was cleaner than I had ever seen it and Melinda had even bought extra cat food! Five stars is not enough!
