This was the first disappointing experience that I've had with a pet sitter from this site. First, they didn't sleep in the room with my dogs which I had included in my instructions which I sent them weeks before they were to pet sit. Javier said that this was because he has a sinus problem that's exacerbated by dust or dog hair. Why wouldn't they say that this would be a problem before accepting the pet sit? They also said that sometimes the dogs woke them up. Occasionally, dogs are going to hear something outside and bark or use the dog door to go outside. This is normal for anyone who has ever had dogs. It's not like they do this all the time so I thought this was a sign that these people really are not pet lovers. It's possible that they were super sensitive because Natalia is pregnant. But again, if this was an issue, they should have let me know in advance so that I could select other pet sitters. I know that my dogs were stressed as they chewed up the edge of a sofa cover and blanket. They have never done this before. I asked Javier if the dogs scratched at the door to let them into their bedroom at night and he said that they never did this. That is really strange as my dogs always want to be in the room with their human companions. The other big problem was that one of my dogs needs eye drops twice a day. I showed them how to do it. I have never had any other pet sitter have difficulty with this as my dog is used to it and is very good about it. About 8 days into my trip, Javier tells me that about 1 1/2 days after I left, my dog started avoiding the procedure and that she almost bit him. He said that he didn't want to notify me earlier and interrupt my trekking. Well I would much rather know right away than have my dog's eyes get bad. Any pet owner feels this way so I thought that was a bad choice to delay notifying me. I explained that he should get her to trust him and gave him some suggestions like sit on the couch with her and give them all treats. Anyone who's experienced with dogs knows this. He said that he personally would prepare her food. I guess that means that Natalia was feeding the dogs which would have made them very easily trust her. It's like Javier doesn't understand dogs. There were some other irritating things like them wanting to change the schedule and arrive AFTER I leave for the airport. Of course, my dogs are going to bark at them and not be comfortable with them letting themselves into the house unless they arrive while I'm there. Javier also accidentally took my phone charger. It cost me about $10 to replace it which is not a big deal but it was just another annoying thing to deal with when you return from a trip. Overall, it seems that they believe feeding your animals and maybe taking them for a walk now and then is enough to be considered a good pet sitter. On the upside, Javier did try to cook them some rice and pumpkin to add to the dry food on the last day before I returned because the home made food ran out that day. But this was a small plus offset by a lot of minuses.

Emma
Everything about this sit was a gift. Emma is a beautiful lady with a beautiful heart and made me feel at home from the start. Velo and Vita the dogs won my heart with their joyous and courteous demenour. They lead me on some amazing adventures in the near bye park. Jayme and Tilda were equally lovable and I am so grateful I had the opportunity to love up these beautiful beings and lovely home.

Caroline and Cosmo are amazing cat-parents and fantastic hosts. Their cats are absolutely adorable, and their apartment is light, clean and offers a stunning view of Zurich Lake (and hight speed Wifi ;-). The welcoming guide they provided was one of the best I've ever seen - they have a real talent for technical writing. 
I highly recommend this housesit, if you would like cats and want to explore area!

Amanda's home is a work of art - quite literally! And the cats, Blanche and Dough, are lovable, playful, and super easy to care for! They loved to sleep tucked away in a corner, most of the time unknown to me, and showed up promptly for food! 
The home is a 30-min walk from downtown Seattle, perfect for exploration. Amanda is very quick to communicate! I highly recommend this sit! Hope to be back soon!

The home, neighborhood, and dogs were all amazing in this sit!  It truly was a pleasure staying here - the puppies couldn’t have been sweeter and we highly recommend this sit.

Our days in beautiful San Anselmo with Lucky and Zorro were just amazing!
Both are very lovely and playful. Lucky seemed to bond with us right away, he followed us everywhere and we took very nice walks together-he's super easy going and behaves great. Zorro took us a little longer, he was just out all day at first. But when he came back to eat on the afternoon we starting playing with him and he started to come more and more to the house, and revealed he truly loves cuddling and hanging around humans, as much as going on adventures :)
Sherry's house is very comfortable, we felt at home. And even though we didn't meet in person, she was very attentive and caring, we had great communication. she left us all written down very clear which was super helpful.
Thank you very much! Hope to meet Tiger some day, haha
