Joseph took care of our cat and house-sat for us for 2 weeks. In advance of our trip, we were able to do both a virtual and in-person meet and greet to ensure everyone felt comfortable and do a walk through of the house, which we really appreciated.While we were away, Joseph responded quickly to texts/any questions we sent and provided photo and text updates every 1-2 days. Upon our return, our cat seemed happy. Unfortunately, the day of our return, Joseph accidentally locked himself out of our house. He communicated with us and we were able to provide him access to a backup key. However, when we returned home about an hour and a quarter later, we were surprised to find that he was still there (he was supposed to have left much earlier in the day before we arrived home, and we knew he was running a little behind because of the lockout, but he didn’t tell us he would still be there when we walked in). He texted us that the house was clean and ready for us, but unfortunately the house was not clean and the cat litter boxes were quite smelly and appeared not to have been changed or scooped in many days. While we realize that getting locked out of the house created some delays in getting packed and tidying the house, we were upset to find the kitty litter in that state and for the clear disorganization, at least in the final day. We provided this feedback directly to Joseph and hope that this was a one-time experience. However, we would urge clear communication around any expectations for cleaning, communication, and care.

Leanne and Charles are the BEST sitters we could have hoped and prayed for! At first I was nervous to leave our home/kids for the first time, but after meeting them on a quick zoom call, it was a no-brainer to have them come stay at our home. We loved their personalities, skill-sets and communication. After exchanging information, they were quick to respond to any texts leading up to our sit and during our travels. It gave me peace of mind that I could cross this very important step off of my pre-travel check list. 
They were happy to come a couple of hours before we left to meet everyone and go through our routine. By the time we left I had complete confidence that our loves and property would be well taken care of. They were flexible in every way! Maintaining our property, home and taking care of our furry kids was an easy yes to any of our requests. I loved that Leanne was open to sending daily check-ins and pictures via any form of communication I requested. And we were so pleasantly surprised to see our 2 year old pup, who is so very shy, giving love to Leanne. I was impressed considering it takes him several visits from the same friends and family to let them pet him, much less receive a very special 'Atlas-kiss'. In addition, our very big (let's say huge) 3 year old thoroughbred took to her as well and behaved like a gentleman.

One of the biggest pluses, when we returned... our house as clean, if not cleaner than when we left. Fresh sheets on our bed and towels in the bathrooms and extra expertly folded linens left on our guest bed, and an empty dishwasher was waiting for us when we returned. I would give them 10 stars if I could and would highly recommend them to anyone. I look forward to them sitting for us in the future!

I would absolutely recommend mila and Gary for your next house sit. They arrived promptly on time so we had no worries about getting away on time to catch our plane.  They had read our house guide before arrival and had questions prepared. This put my mind at ease as it showed they were not just going to “wing” it. The kitties were wonderfully relaxed upon our return and showed no signs of stress. The house was immaculate and they even had flowers on the table welcoming us home. It was a pleasure to have them housesit and they would be welcome again and again.
