David was fantastic! From our initial video chat, we had a good feeling about him. We really appreciated that he offered to come by our house the day before our (early morning) departure to get the key, meet our dog and two cats, and go over things with us. He took notes on his phone, which gave us even more confidence that he was taking this seriously. While we were gone, he sent us some update texts and photos of the animals to let us know that he and they were doing fine. He volunteered to stay a little later than he needed to on the night of our return to make sure our animals got fed in their normal dinner time window and our dog got a walk. When we came back, the house was as clean or maybe even cleaner than when we left it. He even washed the towels we left him. We would definitely have David housesit for us again! He truly went above and beyond our already high expectations.
