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.

Lara came through again on her second visit to our home to watch Henry our Vizsla. She showered our boy with loving affection as evident by his happy demeanor upon our return. Always reliable, trustworthy, and communicative Lara is always welcome back to our home. We highly recommend her as a sitter.

Richard was easy going and self-sufficient. He came in after we left due to our travel schedules and figured everything out with a few text exchanges. The house was spotless on our return and the cats and chickens were happy and well cared for. Would definitely ask Richard back!

I can't say enough good things about Troy.  He is an amazing, caring young man. It was very evident that he enjoyed spending time with our fur babies. They were very well cared for and the house was immaculate . I  would highly recommend him.
