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.

Giulia
Pina was the best cat I've ever sit for <3 She is veeery easy to take care of, plus always purring, asking for pets and cuddles. She was always listening to me, and was surprisingly responsive. There is a timed feeder, so I could go on day trips around the island, knowing Pina was going to be fed on time :) 

Giulia & Eugene are great hosts. I had to go earlier than planned due to the infrequency of flights from where i live, I'm glad I got to get to know them in person. They made sure my time in their apartment was comfortable & worry-free and they let me know of everything I needed to know. 

Location is great, very close to the seaside promenade, I was able to go for walks quickly after work. Very nice to watch the sunset. Their apartment was suuuper comfortable, it had everything i needed. Giulia thought of everything, and she even gave me some toiletries which i appreciated a lot! She also took the time to show me around the town. 

This was one of the best pet-sitting experiences I've had, thank you for everything :)

We had such a wonderful time at our sit in DC. Amanda was an incredible host and her home is gorgeous and comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better location in DC.  Higgins was such a fun pup to spend time with and he brought a lot of joy during our stay. Our kids especially loved his energy and his constant kisses. We often thought he was smiling! Highly recommend.
