Amy was very friendly and personable! The house-sitting experience was not our best due to a lack of communication and an unfortunate situation with Amy getting locking herself out of the house at night, which wasn't able to be resolved immediately. Regarding communication: We didn't hear from Amy during the sit, so we sent a message on the 5th day to check in on the cats and she responded with an update and a picture, which was nice to hear and see. I think we would've liked more updates during the 9 day sit because we have two senior cats (one that we have to keep an eye on for health reasons, who was having trouble eating and finishing her food) so we were a bit worried while we were away, but maybe we weren't clear with Amy about our expectations. The next message we got was on the 9th day of the sit and it was informing us that Amy had locked herself out of the house that night and left the keys inside. We tried to call her multiple times immediately after receiving the message, but she didn't pick up. We wanted her to check for the spare key, but we couldn't reach her. We were quite worried by this point as our senior kitties would be home alone overnight, though Amy let us know they had dinner, so at least they wouldn't be hungry. It was late night, but she called back about an hour later, apologised for missing our calls, and said she was already at a friend's house so she couldn't go back to the house and check until morning time. In the morning, she went back to the house and couldn't get to the spare key, so we had to pay for a locksmith to come over and pick the lock for her to get back into the house and to check on the cats. That wasn't a great experience for us as we were quite worried about the cats, but Amy was nice enough to stay until dinner time since my husband's flight home was delayed, so that was helpful.

Yessica was really lovely and took great care of Wookie, our indoor rabbit. Her communication was excellent and she took a lot of initiative which was awesome. The house was left spotless when she left. Would highly recommend Yessica again!
