Pros: Our kitties were well cared for. Ary offered to stay until we returned when our flight was cancelled--this meant an extra day and a half--which we appreciated. Cons: I want to be fair. The kitties were fine, and they are our first priority. But we also care about our backyard birds, which we requested she care for. When we returned we found all the birdbaths were empty, the hummingbird feeders hadn't been filled with fresh nectar for days, and I'm not sure how much feeding actually got done because of the number of unopened bags of birdseed. Our previous house sitters sent a brief text about the kitties or a photo every few days while we were away. I admit we didn't specifically ask Ary to do this but we were surprised that the only communications from her related to a couple of questions about the house. I don't expect house sitters to be perfect housekeepers but I was dismayed to find dirty glasses in the cupboard. The aluminum cat food cans were not placed in the recycling container, but simply put in the trash. Wooden spoons that I asked not to be cleaned in the dishwasher were in the dishwasher. I had provided instructions on these points in the welcome guide. It was also dismaying that the phone call that Ary scheduled to meet us didn't happen because "time got away" from her. We waited over an hour for her call, which didn't come. Again, it's important to note that the kitties were fine when we got home, and Ary had washed the sheets and dishes.

Lezlie was great! She was very responsive to any questions we had when working with her to set up petting sitting for our dog Dexter! She was fast to respond and detailed in her replies. She also asked lots of questions about Dexter to ensure she knew what our expectation and what Dexter's needs were. She took Dexter on lots of adventures besides dog walks. She went and visited friends in the east bay, took him out on hikes with her friend's dogs as well as making sure he got plenty of exercise on his regular walks. She was very personable and professional. She was able to figure out any issue on her own and even reached out once because she was concerned about Dexter scratching his ear and asked if it would be OK to have him checked out at the vet if needed. She was very kind and with the dog and our neighbors, (everyone knows the dog on our block, so they saw someone different taking care of him!). They had nothing but good things to say about Lezlie. Dexter was very calm and relaxed when we returned home, so I know he was well cared for! He was even on a walk with Lezlie when we did arrive back home. Lezlie was a great dog sitter and houseguest and everything worked out perfectly. She left our house very clean and even had clean sheets on the bed upon our return! I would 100% recommend her if you are looking for someone to take care of your home and pets!
