This was the first sit I’ve ever had to end early. A couple days in, I received a call from my neighbor that my very mild-mannered dog broke through the fence to get out of the back yard. She’s never done anything like that before, so I was worried about what happened and looked over some security footage. I wasn’t able to determine a specific incident, but I did find some disturbing footage where she was clearly nervous around Annette. It also showed that there had been an unauthorized guest earlier in the sit, my garage doors had been left open until my neighbor came over and closed them (after telling Annette and then she still didn’t close hem herself?), my home-office which is explicitly off-limits had been entered, and backyard footage showed the hot tub had been turned up and left open for an extended time, so a lot of the water had evaporated and there were leaves and oils and needed a full cleanup upon return. A friend was able to come over and check the house after it was vacated and she found the hot tub was left full blast and the large window in the back of the house was left unlocked. Upon my return, I also found Annette had eaten her way through my fridge, freezer, and pantry as well as taken full bottles of shampoo/conditioner/soap and full rolls of toilet paper from the guest bathroom. I provide hospitality items for all guests and sitters and I’m generally ok with sitters having guests or having some snacks from the house, but these are things people ask about first and the sheer volume of items taken/consumed in just a couple of days was alarming. Throughout all of this, Annette’s communication *seemed* coherent and considerate, which makes it even more worrying that all this other stuff was secretly happening. It makes me nervous to think of what I don’t know about.

Andy looked after our cat Pepper solo, as Kerry was away, and he did a wonderful job. Pepper takes a while to warm up, and Andy really respected her need to spend a few days hiding while adjusting to a visitor and gave her plenty of time and space. He communicated really promptly, sent us plenty of updates, and left our flat in perfect condition. Thanks Andy!

Jason was very personable and easy to communicate with from the beginning until the end of the experience. He was respectful of the agreed schedule and our house rules. The cats were charmed and surprisingly chilled around him. Jason had often sent us funny updates and pictures and we felt relaxed and reassured that everything's going fine. He left the house perfectly tidy and clean. What more can you ask for? Thank you highly recommended Jason! ;)
