This was a tough review to write, but needed. I have had over dozen sits so far on this website so I have become accustomed to (and expect) responsive and communicative sitters. First, Richard and Sharon arrived 2 hours after their stated time (which was even later than what we had originally agreed upon weeks prior). As a consequence, my son was unable to show them the eye care for his cat and so I had to do it. This caused me to be an hour late for my shift. Second, they didn’t read the manual ahead of time. I spent a lot of time making it (and revising it over the last couple of years) and I emailed it way ahead of time with accompanying photos. It was annoying to have to show them where everything was in the house as this could have been avoided had they actually opened their emails from me prior to the sit. Third, they don’t know how to use a mobile phone very well and did not download the recommended app necessary to find the cats if they went hiding (TILE). No other sitter has had this issue- it’s super easy. Fourth, I did not get any updates from them without specifically prompting them and no photos of the pets, at all, for the entire week they were staying. Finally, they went to the beach and got sand on the tables and didn’t clean them- so my son unwittingly placed his laptop computer on the coffee table and scratched up the bottom. All in all, they are very nice, but I am pretty disappointed about this sit.

I can not express enough kind words about Amanda.  My animals adored her.  She knew them intimately by the time we came home.  She sent us many pictures and stories about their daily interactions that helped us to feel we were still with them.  Amanda is a lovely human being.  We all wished we had more time to spend together when she came back and we have actually decided to create that time to visit together this year.

Rose & Michael are the most wonderful people.   I would add 5 more stars if possible!!  They communicated daily and loved on our pets like we do.  One was having some health concerns I had not recognized,  they were able to make a change in his diet and help immensely.
They left the house spotless and stocked my fridge for our return.  We were in the middle of a move and they came early and stayed a couple of extra days.  I cannot say enough good things and hope we will have the opportunity to see them again.

My 2.5-week sit for Tallulah and Tess in Sue and Steve's beautiful home was a wonderful experience. 

The kitty sisters are great company and will move around the house to follow the sun. They know their schedule well and anticipate every feeding. They do prefer an early "first breakfast," but they'll chill out if you don't feel like getting up just yet. I miss their company and giving them belly rubs!

The house is large, comfortable, and relaxing -- an oasis in a well-located neighborhood. The proximity to Golden Gate Park is a treat, and there are many business districts both large and small within a mile. 

I got to meet Sue and Steve the day they left SF. They're warm, friendly, and made me feel right at home. They were so welcoming to my husband and daughter, who joined me for a stretch during my stay. Throughout their trip we had excellent communication. 

We did have a minor oversight around the litter box setup and Tess peed on the floor by the litter box; once I clarified the usual setup that didn't happen again.

I highly recommend this sit and would happily return!
