Mecha has been very good for a long week end with our house and 2 cats. Everything was tidy and cleaned before we arrived. Our cats were great also. I'd highly recommend Mecha.
This was my first time requesting a house/pet sitter and WOW! did I ever luck out - I got Laurel! Laurel is an interesting, intelligent woman, very caring and self-sufficient with a wonderfully positive approach to life who doesn't seem to be daunted by anything. Laurel took care of my three cats for 2 weeks, feeding (including meds), grooming, playing etc. She sent me pictures half-way through the housesit and I could see that my cats were happy and well-looked after in their own home. Laurel is a professional photographer and took more photos of my cats once I was home. I'm looking forward to having copies made to frame and hang on my wall - from what I could see on her camera she got some beautiful photos of my furballs! Laurel also looked after my garden which ended up being a little more than either of us bargained for, but she just took care of things and I wasn't even aware of the extras she had to do until I got home. And the evening of my return she made me a lovely dinner (with wine!) while I relaxed in my very clean home (including gas stove top which had been pretty messy when I left - thanks Laurel!). I loaned Laurel my bicycle to use while I was away. It turned out to have some gear trouble (due to lack of use by me) and Laurel took it upon herself to investigate where and how to resolve, at what cost and then confirmed with me whether to go ahead which I really appreciated as I now have a well-functioning bike for my own use. I found Laurel to be a most generous and caring person, she loves animals, she's a real people person, she's healthy and active, and as stated above a very positive and happy individual. I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone who is looking for an amazing, reliable house/pet sitter.
