Jane is not a recommended petsitter if you have cats or if you want the house to be treated properly when you are away. 1) When she arrived the day before our departure, she didn’t show any interest in the cats, I had to suggest her several times to interact with the kitties in order to make sure the cats were used to her smell. 2) She acted in a superior attitude when I was giving instructions about how to feed the cats or understand their routines. 3) Since the moment we posted the sit offer, we were clear about the simple tasks: feed the cats 3 times a day, play with them, brush them, keep the house safe and clean, inform twice a day about what the cats ate with photos and videos. Her level of communication was minimum by whatsapp. Example of messages “Nala has not appeared yet this morning”, “not much to report”, “everyone has eaten well”, “all well fed”, “too busy feeding, taking pictures and answering your texts” 4) When we arrived the house was dirty (her bathroom had not been cleaned at all, she had not vacuumed nor mopped the floor, the kitchen was sticky) the basic rules of the house were cleaning the floor, kitchen (to avoid ants) and I specified the products to clean bathroom/toilet before leaving. The minimum ALL petsitters had done in the past before leaving were cleaning the basic areas. 5) Two windows were unlocked, when safety issues were explained as a main concern. The biggest window with access from the street was not locked with the screw (anyone could have entered the house) and the window of the guest room was not locked with the handle 6) She never sent a message after leaving the house making sure everything was ok and telling us if the cats were ok. Conclusion: We could clearly see she doesn’t like animals, especially cats, she came just to have a free place to visit the area (which is a very touristic place, mainly this time of the year, when the accommodations are really expensive), she had a bossy attitude and was clearly annoyed by our explanations of how to take care of the cats and house, her communication was not fluid (I had to send a message asking her how were the cats almost every day in order to get feedback), she was a person that clearly did not care about the basic level of cleaning. The only thing she did was feeding the cats at least once a day. When we arrived the cats were really hungry.

Alisha and her daughter Kati were so amazing! They planned the sit as a mother/daughter writers retreat (I'm truly excited to read Kati's book!) They were able to come by the house before I left on my trip so I was able to give them the full tour - I really love when sitters make the time to do that. Oh! And get this! Alisha read my entire Welcome Guide before arriving which honestly blew my mind. During the tour, she asked about specific things that I mentioned in the Guide and we were able to cover her questions straight away. Alisha & Kati also showed up with all their food & supplies so they wouldn't have to leave to get them after arriving - that's so smart! Alisha says she does this so the animals are less stressed out. She really is a true professional. I ended up hanging out with them a little longer than planned because they were so awesome. When I finally did grab my bags to head out I noticed that Kati was sitting on the floor playing with my dog and cat - loved that! During the sit, Alisha gave me updates here and there - but I wasn't bombarded by them. They also were able to coordinate with us to plan the best departure time so the animals wouldn't be alone too long before Kenny and I got home. When we arrived home the animals were exceptionally calm and I swear the house was cleaner than we left it. All in all, they were the best and we would definitely have them back in heartbeat.

Lara and Jero were excellent pet sitters for our dog Bear, who we could tell loved being around them. He was well exercised and loved while we were away.They looked after him really well and followed instructions for his care with precision. Our home was well respected clean and tidy. Hector and I decided to take them in to pet sit and were not disappointed. We were so grateful we have asked if they wanted to stay a few extra days to show them around. An absolutely lovely caring couple,and we wish them both well with their future pet sits. We highly recommend Lara and Jero to other trusted pet sit vacancies. We will endeavour to keep in touch with them through their travels and look forward to future contact with Lara and Jero with anticipation

Vanessa was an excellent pet sitter and I highly recommend her for anyone looking for top-notch care and attention for their fur babies! 

I felt immediately confident with Vanessa. She has a clear passion for animals, and she was very reassuring after I had explained about my last very poor experience with a pet sitter. Both made me relax while I was away, as well as her calm demeanour. I came home to a clean home, watered plants, and well-brushed and cared for cat.

Vanessa sent (at my request) daily photo updates of my cat, many of which he was snuggled on her or they were playing - my cat's two favourite things. In fact, I think my cat was a bit miffed that I came home at all! 

I've already invited Vanessa back for another sit (I hope she can make it) as I know Pop was in such good hands. 

If Vanessa is on your shortlist, go for it, you won't regret it!
