This was our first time using Clay for a sit at our Maui home. Clay was very friendly and super responsive to all of the planning and set up for his sit at our home. He asked all the right questions on getting ready to come to Maui and be with our dogs. This was also our first time to use a solo only sitter. All our previous sits have been with a couple or team of two. Prior to selecting Clay; we reviewed and disclosed with him that our dogs are strong for their small, compact and muscular size. We clearly reviewed with him the previous feedback from past sitters to emphasize the strong nature of our dogs and what they can do if they decide to pull hard on a leash walk. We felt really good about our interview with Clay and selected him right away. Unfortunately; when Clay arrived at the Maui airport, he reported to us fairly quick, that he had tweaked his back at his hometown airport when he left to come to Maui. The pain he reported was coming from his chronic sciatica in his back. We felt super bad for Clay and were really worried that the dog sitting was going to compromise his back health since he reported harsh back pain. Fortunately; we had a clear and honest discussion with Clay and he let us know that he was totally up to perform the dog sit (bad back or not) and for us not to worry about him and the dogs. We trusted his decision and left for our trip. He let us know that this was a long term chronic back condition so he assured us he knew his limitations and everything would be fine for this stay. We really appreciated his honesty and candor and felt fine to leave. During our nearly 3 week trip; Clay gave us updates on his time taking care of our dogs with feeding, play time and walks. We got frequent updates from Clay and the dogs appeared happy playing and being with Clay. Clay reported that the dogs were happy during his stay. We had a mix up on our return date from South America. Normally our sitters are requested to leave the day after we arrive back from a trip to make sure we make it to all the way home to Maui. However; a mistake was made and I gave Clay the travel date we were leaving South America as the date to plan his return travel. Long story short; Clay's return flight to his home from Maui left 4 hours before we were scheduled land back on Maui. Fortunately; our return flights were all on time and we got home in plenty of time to greet our dogs with lots of hugs and kisses with them only having a 6 hour home alone time. We didn't get a chance to say goodbye to Clay in person; but we did speak on the phone and reviewed the sit a day or so later. After this sit; we would recommend Clay for pet sitting because of his responsiveness and caring to do a good job.

Meg is the perfect house sitter. She was our lifesaver, who appeared at the right time, when we had to replace a housesitter who was not enjoying her time at our house. She took care of our home and our cats, who through the photos and updates she sent to us regularly, showed that she bonded with Lily and Leo really well. That was very assuring and heart warming for us to see and know, being so far away from Norway. Communication with Meg was perfect. Her manner and way of being gave us confidence that she was the right person for our housesit. I would highly recommend Meg to any future housesitter. She is competent, responsible and trustworthy. Thank you so much for caring for our cats and home Meg. We'd love to have you back again in future, and to meet you in person.

Saved us with a last minute request for a sitter when our first sitter had to cancel. They were flexible with pickup and arranged for the next sitter to take over from them, as we had an extended vacation that required two separate sitters. What we thought would be a big hassle turned into a seamless transition. Pets were very happy and well taken care of. We would absolutely invite them back!

Latarsha was such a joy to meet and asked great questions. She was very attentive to Dillon and I came home to a happy dog and tidy house. Latarsha was good at communication, caring for my pup and very self sufficient. I would love to have her come back any time to sit.
