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.

Angel was an amazing house and dog sitter in every way! She was flexible with timing, friendly, and responsible. She took great care of the house asking if there was more she could do than I asked. Before leaving Angel thoroughly cleaned and vacuumed the house, did all of the laundry, and made all of the beds saving me a lot of time and energy when I returned. She took both dogs on long daily walks including visits to the dog park and was communicative about how they were doing on a daily basis. Once she was gone, my younger dog was sitting at the door to her room because she missed her! Angel will be a great and responsible sitter for you and I highly recommend her!

We really appreciated Zack for letting us know at the last minute that he would be available to be our sitter. Zack did an awesome job with our dogs as well as taking care of our home . He spent a lot of time with our dogs and kept them on a regular schedule with feeding and playtime. He did a good job of keeping the kennel clean organized.  Before he left he took the time to clean up the house . I highly recommend him if you’re looking for someone to look after your dogs and take care of your home. Great job Zack!

Charlotte was wonderful. Our dog Poe took a liking to her right away. She asked questions to make sure she was doing all the things we needed done both for Poe and for our home. She was communicative and shared updates on Poe during our trip. She left the house clean and secure. She made sure that Poe got plenty of exercise while we were gone. We would definitely have Charlotte sit for us again.

It was a delight to pet sit Lauren! She is a lovely shy cat who came out of her shell and allowed me to play with her and pet her. She was tentative yet curious and felt comfortable to be in close proximity a good portion of the time I was there. Of course, she loved her Greenies and Churus. I took pleasure in watching how she grew in confidence. 

Andrea was the consummate host whose home was comfortable and exquisitely decorated with details anyone would appreciate. Her yard was lush and beautifully landscaped and in a great location. If I could give more than five stars for this sit, I would. Sweet Lauren will enchant you. I am happy to return again if dates align.
