This was a tough review to write, but needed. I have had over dozen sits so far on this website so I have become accustomed to (and expect) responsive and communicative sitters. First, Richard and Sharon arrived 2 hours after their stated time (which was even later than what we had originally agreed upon weeks prior). As a consequence, my son was unable to show them the eye care for his cat and so I had to do it. This caused me to be an hour late for my shift. Second, they didn’t read the manual ahead of time. I spent a lot of time making it (and revising it over the last couple of years) and I emailed it way ahead of time with accompanying photos. It was annoying to have to show them where everything was in the house as this could have been avoided had they actually opened their emails from me prior to the sit. Third, they don’t know how to use a mobile phone very well and did not download the recommended app necessary to find the cats if they went hiding (TILE). No other sitter has had this issue- it’s super easy. Fourth, I did not get any updates from them without specifically prompting them and no photos of the pets, at all, for the entire week they were staying. Finally, they went to the beach and got sand on the tables and didn’t clean them- so my son unwittingly placed his laptop computer on the coffee table and scratched up the bottom. All in all, they are very nice, but I am pretty disappointed about this sit.

WE CAN RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE!

Carol and Mark must have been sent by heaven. We couldn’t have asked for better Housesitter’s. They took care of our 4 pets, the garden and the house for 2.5 weeks while we were on holiday. They regularly sent us pictures of the pets. It was very easy to communicate with them. When we came home the house and garden were in excellent and super clean condition. 

Thanks to them we were able to relax while being away. We did not doubt that our pets had the best time with them. 

Thank you, Carol and Mark!

Hannah & Barney were fine with our dogs & the house. They are very self sufficient & left the house tidy & clean. 
Their little dog Bambi is very cute & our puppy loved her. 
We didn’t worry about either the house or dogs after the first few days, as they sent us updates using photos to reassure us.
