David and Jye recently looked after our 2 dogs and 3 chickens and we couldn't have been happier with them. Just prior to the sit of the dogs required medication and they were more than happy to make sure he received it correctly. They kept us up to date with how the animals were while we were away and we returned to very content dogs, a clean home and all chickens accounted for We would highly recommend David and Jye for any potential house sit Thanks guys!
Danni looked after Leeloo for 2.5 weeks while I was traveling both domestically and abroad with limited internet. Upon return to my home, the cat was alive and well and the apartment was exquisitely tidy, however a third of my house plants were dead, including a gifted one from my mother from many years ago. She was considerate of the others that live here in the house and kept to herself (no parties or anything) and was very respectful of my space. During my time away, though, Danni texted me with questions that had answers already printed in the very-thorough Welcome Guide (where is the vacuum, questions about the litter, sheets for the bed), which it seems she did not read well, or perhaps just skimmed. The guide also noted how to take care of the plants and where the brush was for the cat (Leeloo's hair filled many brushes when I returned). For the meet and greet here before Danni's stay, she arrived an hour earlier than scheduled (she offered to return later due to her mistake, which was very considerate) and cut the meeting short before I finished going over all of the details of the stay. She did send photos and videos of Leeloo a few times which I very much appreciated, however the questions that she asked me during the stay that had clear answers in the Welcome Guide caused me concern throughout my travels. She was very communicative and I'm sure is quite fine in other homes without plants and with a printed copy of the Welcome Guide on site and/or constant communication with the pet owner.
