Rachel stayed at our house for 6 weeks and took fantastic care of our two somewhat-needy cats as well as our house and yard! The experience was entirely positive, and we would not hesitate for an instant to have her back for another sit!! We confirmed Rachel as a long-term sitter for our two old men (cats) after reading her profile and reviews, and then having a Zoom meeting. She has the perfect combination of good humor, “laidbackness”, and seriousness when it came to caring for the cats. She was able to laugh at their weirdness (and they ARE weird), take mishaps in stride (litter box misses, etc.), provide their daily medications on schedule, and ask appropriate questions when things seemed a little off or she identified concerns. She has a presence that put us at ease immediately upon arrival, and the cats took to her very quickly. She asked us how often we would like updates, and how would we like them delivered, and then she provided them without fail at least as often as requested. We arrived home relaxed because we never worried about how things were going at home, and were happy to arrive to two healthy, happy cats, a well-kept yard, and a spotless(!!) house. As we said before, we would be thrilled to have Rachel sit for us again any time in the future, and we’re quite sure that Petey and Bucky would be excited to have her back as well!

Philip
This was the worst sit to date. I specifically asked Phil to ensure I had a legal parking space and would not overhang the sidewalk, and he assured me I would have all the room needed. Instead, he failed to make room in the driveway (and contrary to his claim, there was plenty of room on either side of his car to pull up, even with the planter there). He did not even apologize, and kept saying it was no problem that my car was overhanging half the sidewalk—presumably, because it was no problem *for him*. Street parking was 2 hours only unless one had a permit. Again…”no problem”! His place was dirty: floor of shower/tub was stained, microwave filthy, and every surface dirty/dusty. Something in fridge smelled. The streets had trash along every curb, the park has an encampment with food trash the dog kept trying to eat, the dog was constantly trying to pull into the street, there was poop everywhere (including in the park), and when I took the dog to the dog group meetup there, a person who recognized him cautioned me not to let him off leash because she’d seen the dog twice run across the street when Phil let him off leash. In sum: Dishonest pet owner. 
Nice (if untrained)dog. Terrible sit.
