Meghan was ABSOLUTLEY the best! She was delightful, totally reliable, a great communicator and was just wonderful over all. My pets had a wonderful time with her and Winston. A great break for us and a treat for our pets!

These two are the best! Our pets and house were left in perfect condition. They love on our pets the same way we do. Plus they left a wonderful welcome home surprise. 
I’m sure they stay busy pet sitting and you may have a difficult time snagging them but if you get the privilege of having them sit for your pets you are very lucky!

I am struggling to write this review bc we do truly appreciate LaShawn coming to watching our home and dogs. I’m hoping this review can be helpful for future sits. 

She checked all the boxes. She was very thorough, asking me about certain things like trash, mail, plants… leaving no stone unturned to understand what I needed her to do while I was gone. She also communicated a lot and sent pictures! She’s definitely responsible, organized, and reliable. 

She asked to come early so she could meet the dogs while I was there. Turns out she was afraid of my dogs! She kept verbalizing her anxieties about their size (80lb golden retriever, 45lb husky) saying my husky was going to eat her up. (Btw he has soft brown eyes instead of the stark blue eyes, so in my mind he has a kind face. Also he is not aggressive. At. All. But to her, he’s a wolf.) 
When she first met them she ran to face a wall, hiding from them, saying “No, no, no!” She was terrified. Now I am uncomfortable and don’t know if she is going to be capable of this sit! I couldn’t help but wonder why she would agree to this sit if shes uncomfortable with big dogs, and I worried what we got ourselves into. I felt a lack of confidence from her that made me worry and stress about leaving.

Immediately after that first meet, my dogs knew this was not a new “friend.” This was not a sitter they were going to get to play with. Immediately they were bored. Usually before a trip they’re much more interested in the sitter, but this time they preferred to sit around me while I packed - boring. 

Well, she powered through. She did take them on a walk everyday, despite her worries that they would drag her away.(Btw my dogs are good on-leash, and don’t pull with the gear I gave her to use.) So thank you! She did take care of all the basics that were expected of her, for which we are grateful. However, I’m not sure she did much more than that. When we arrived home my dogs were excited to see us more than usual, as if relieved the sit was over. I think we were all glad it was a quick trip. 

My golden begs to be pet. She’s very inviting. If you’re a dog lover you cannot resist! I did see LaShawn pet her a couple times, but not much more than a few pats. I know my husky needed more play. I know my golden needed more love. I just don’t think they got the attention they needed while I was gone. Also the house was not clean when we got home. 

She asked to stay an extra night. As a houseguest she is very quiet, you don’t even realize she’s there! 
LaShawn is a great choice if you have small animals that don’t require a lot of attention, or if you want a quiet house-sitter who can handle multiple house tasks. Definitely no huskies! Unfortunately for me and my big dogs, we won’t be seeing her again. 
Thank you, LaShawn, for taking brave steps out of your comfort zone for us!! We wish you the best!
