Christina was my first sitter. Had an application prior to hers, but that was a family with three children and they didn't speak English, so I changed my profile to "no children". Christina was in Hawaii when she first responded and let me know that she was three hours behind the time zone in Oregon--that was good info for texting without disturbing each other. Turned out that she is based in Ballard, WA--an area that I know--so accepted her offer to sit my two cats. She had little time to return to SeaTac airport, regroup and then drive to my house. She was fresh and eager to sit. Christina spent all the time necessary to hear my detailed requests for the house and the cats. Since this was my first sitter, I was anxious but Christina was calm and helped me feel at ease. I will request Christina to sit again.
It's always really hard for me to leave my dog for trips but when I met Alejandra I was immediately put at ease by her warmth. It's clear that she genuinely loves doing this work and delights in spending time with all animals. Alejandra was direct in her communication and did a great job of asking questions.
