Overall, Hea did a sufficient job caring for our cat and home. Kitty seemed healthy and content, and the house was in good condition. However, this experience helped us refine our preferences for future sits. Hea shares a profile with Nicholas, but it appears she is the one handling the sits. Despite our inquiries, the details of their shared profile and arrangement remained unclear. In terms of organization, she had some mix-ups with dates and arrival times during pre-visit communication that required clarification, which she attributed to managing multiple sits and tracking many details. Although we provided the welcome guide in advance at her request, she still asked us to write down instructions for the cat’s medications and asked questions covered in the guide, later mentioning that she hadn’t yet reviewed it upon arrival. For reliability, Hea honored her travel commitments, but communication about the cat was inconsistent. Updates were irregular, sometimes necessitating us initiating them, and were fairly general (e.g., "doing well, ate well, spending time outside"). While she had assured us she was familiar with sending regular updates, in hindsight, we should have been more specific about our expectations. She also experienced an issue with her phone charger, which required her to switch to another phone and may have contributed to the lapses in communication. Regarding self-sufficiency, Hea requested to arrive the night before, which is common for some sits, and needed assistance with travel logistics. Per her request, we provided rides to and from the train station, helped with how to purchase a ticket, and assisted with her luggage. Despite volunteering for a sit far from her home, she expressed concerns about the cost and logistical challenges of public transportation, which we tried to accommodate by offering additional assistance, including a trip to the grocery store. On the plus side, Hea left our home in good condition—counters were clean, the trash was taken out, and the dishwasher was run. She was respectful of our space and kept everything tidy. For pet care, Kitty appeared happy and healthy upon our return, and Hea mentioned spending a lot of time at home, which likely helped our cat feel less lonely. She explained that she preferred to defer to the cat's wishes rather than initiate interaction, despite our guidance to engage more directly with her. Overall, Hea took good care of our home and cat, and we were satisfied with the sit. For future homeowners, we recommend being clear about your expectations for communication, updates, and any assistance with travel arrangements or transportation.

Very pleased !! If you’re looking for a sitter and Mariah has responded to your invitation I recommend you book right away before someone else snags her!! I know I’ll hit her up again! Mariah did a two week sit for me while I was down in Costa Rica. It was amazing how she integrated right into my routine with my dog, cat, and koi pond. It wasn’t just like I never left them , it was better! Got so many fun , artistic, cool pictures she sent me of the animals that I saved many of them! I could see she spent more time with them than I regularly do everyday since I have to leave them alone to go to work a lot. Everyone seemed real relaxed and peaceful when I got home from all her loving attention. So grateful! This was my first time using the TH app and it was such a cool experience! It has even made me re-consider how I look at meet up apps and generally see social media in a brighter light my experience was so good. In case your wondering about details of the sit I will mention that It was the first time I left my dog Oso I rescued 8 months ago with anyone else. Mariah gave Oso nice long walks that he loves and also made him amazing home cooked meals! I also don’t feed my dog much dry food (*if you really love your animals I recommend looking into how bad it is for them to eat that junk) so although I told Mariah she could just feed Oso kibble to keep things easy she totally hooked him up with rice, and veggies to mix into his raw meat I usually feed him. She cooked him other recipes that sounded amazing also. He was happy AND healthy when I came home. I also take Oso on adventures pretty regularly where he can really get out in the wild and wear himself out. He didn’t seem to mind missing his adventures at all while I was gone with all the attention he got , especially with all the great walks he got around the neighborhood. I could go on and on with examples of how great Mariah was to my fur family but I don’t want to put any more pressure on her to do all that stuff every time 😂 In Gratatude, Daniel 🙏🏼😊

Oh my Gosh; these two AMAZING gals were an absolute delight and incredibly thoughtful.  They looked after our fur babies so wonderfully well.   Eliot and Noni are extremely personable and clearly love dogs.  Bailey and Lily had a great time with them and were well fed, walked and cuddled.   Additionally,  i'm pretty sure our home was in even in better shape then when we left.   Their thoughtfulness and thoroughness in ensuring they had every care detail in hand  left us feeling completely free to enjoy our getaway knowing all was well with our home and with our two dogs.  Thank you just does not seem to be enough for this pair.

Rani looked after my 4 cats while I went first on a short 4 day break and then on a longer 3 week break to visit family after nearly 2.5 years. 

I was a bit nervous at first about how the cats would react after so long without me leaving them with anyone else. But I needn't have worried- Rani sent many updates, photos and videos and they seemed to be very happy with her.

Two of my cats in particular seemed to really love Rani and I am sure they miss her as they keep sitting just outside Rani's bedroom! 

Rani administered daily medication to one of my cats , Miguel,who has hip dysplasia and ensured that they were all indoors at night . 

Rani is a very tidy person and I came back to a clean and tidy home.
I have no hesitation in recommending Rani for house sits and hope that she can sit again for my cats in the future.
