I was really hoping for a smooth experience with Duncan's pet care, and while Duncan seems like a nice person, there were several issues when I returned home that I feel need to be addressed. First, I explicitly stated that I did not want guests in my home, but my neighbor—who, while being a bit nosey, is generally helpful—mentioned that Duncan had someone over without my knowledge. This was quite concerning, as respecting my home and rules is important to me. Secondly, the cleanliness of the kitchen was not up to par. When I returned, I found sticky substances on the counters, around the sink, and residue left on the stove. Additionally, two pots stored in the cabinet were stained with what appeared to be the same food residue that was on the stove – one was my cast iron skillet. Cleanliness is a basic expectation when providing care, and this left me disappointed. The most disturbing issue, however, was the handling of the litter box. I had to throw away my broom and dustpan because they had been used to clean up cat waste that didn’t make it into the LitterBot because it was stuck in a cycle. It was clear that one of my cats was forced to relieve themselves outside of the litter box, and the way this was dealt with was unacceptable. Finally, Duncan notified me of a broken doorknob, which I had to report to maintenance. I later found out that it appeared to have been pulled off rather than being worn down by normal use as I assumed when I received the text. While I’m not sure how this happened, it was just another frustrating issue on top of everything else. I'm generally not picky and try to be understanding, but these problems left me disappointed with the care provided. I hope Duncan takes this feedback constructively and improves these areas for future clients.

We were pleased to welcome Jaqueline back for her third sit with us. As always, organising the sit and communication throughout our two week trip was easy and Jacqueline took great care of Dobby and Baloo. We always feel a sense of relief when Jacqueline volunteers to housesit and that says it all!

Samanta was absolutely amazing🤗❤️we needed a Petsitter just for one day because we wanted to go to the Spa the Well for a day before to our moving to Spain, to try to relax and de-stress 🌺. She was here on the perfect time, and both her husband and her took absolutely care of our babies.  Even more, we are in between of our moving and we apologized to her to do not have the house completely organized and tidy, because we are packing all our stuff and choosing what or what not we will keep with us. When we arrived home, the house was vacuumed and cleaned and they did even some of our dishes left that were in the sink. We said to them that was absolutely not necessary to do it in this case due that was just for one day, but she lovingly answered they wanted to us to have a nice time when we arrived home from the Spa ❤️❤️❤️Samanta was sweet and she paid attention to all the explanations we bring to her regarding our pets and the house. I lovely recommend her/them.
