Pros: Brandi was a very nice person. I came home to my kitty and she was all good. She was flexible with her dates. Cons: Brandi stated she left August 11th but the video shows her leaving on the 10th, so she was dishonest. She mention my cat food having bugs in them so she threw out a whole half bag of hard food. My apartment is kept very tidy, theee only reason flies come out is if fruit is left out and she must have left food or something out that attracted the bugs. We originally discussed her only house sitting a month so she could allow client's from peer space in the apartment and sell off or receive furniture. I was lucky enough that she agreed to sit for meadow as well. My gut told me to hold off on peer space because I was getting good cell service at my silent retreat. I'm so so so so glad I did after seeing how she left my apartment floors and bathroom. She would of had to clean up after each peer space and I feel clients would have not been happy with the cleanliness. I don't even have living room furniture yet, just boxes so it should have been a breeze to sweep, vacuum, mop. There's plenty of cleaning rags and cleaners. I have white floors and she must have used dirty mop water all throughout the floor. Dirty streaks and foot prints all over the floor. She left the dirty mop water with the mop in it right in the living room. When mopping a bug place like mine you at least need to change the water four to six times. There was cereal left out and open. Cat food was left open on the counter. Water bowl didn't look clean, full of fur on top. Cereal crumbs on the floor. Coffee bean sprinkles on the cabinets. I usually leave my dishwasher cracked. She must have closed it shut and never opened it ever....because four wooden pieces inside molded over. It was full of clean dishes, pots, pans, utensils, etc. Her hair products on the sink. Empty raw sugar box left in cabinet. Bathroom: sink was sticky, toilet had poop stains (smh I had to clean), and my precious bath tub was filthy. There was black specks in it and I had to wash it four times at least before soaking. I looked forward to coming home and relaxing but I cleaned 3-4 hours. I didn't except her to leave it immaculate however this was more than just touching up for me. There were multiple finger and hand prints on the walls from make up and whatever else was on her hands. This was in my hallway, bedroom, and bathroom. Bedroom: bedroom was ok, some cereal crumbs on the bed and under but nothing major. The bedding was left in the dryer, which was ok but it smelled odd so I re washed it. Two weeks in and she sent a few photos but definitely not daily. Also, two weeks in I became pretty sick and needed to come home to go to the doctor for a few days. I offered to sleep in the living room but her dad lived close by so I guess she said shed make other arrangements so she would have gone there possibly. A day later she requested to end the stay early, which was fine yet very inconvenient. I ended up going to emergency room upstate. She was patient with me and I decided not to travel back home while sick so we agreed on the 11th. She kept mentioning that I could come back earlier if I wanted to. I guess maybe the train sound got to her. I had a feeling she left early, but the video confirmed it. Not sure why she would think that I wouldn't verify. The cameras are visible outside my door.

Gail (and Brian) were awesome pet and house sitters! They stayed at our place and took care of our dog and fish for 5 days while we were out of town. They were incredibly responsive both before and during the stay. They were well-prepared and made sure they knew how to take care of our dog incredibly well. During the stay, they sent us great pictures taking our Lux out on adventures around Santa Barbara. They also took great care of our place, including a deep clean before they left! And, they left a really nice goodie bag for us. All in all, they were great guests and pet sitters and I highly recommend them! Hopefully Gail and Brian will come back to Santa Barbara soon!

Jenny and Richard were our first zeewoi and it could not have been any better. It felt like having friends around and Ted, our dog, loved them immediately and still misses them. We were sent pictures  of their walks and messages how everything is going. We felt very comfortable and would love to have them back anytime. 
They handed over the house spotless and  even left us a warm soup for when we got home.

Karen is everything you’ll want in a pet sitter. She’s compassionate, proactive, communicative, and great with animals. My cat missed her when she left! 
We would invite Karen back over and over.
