We found Rebecca last minute when our previous sitter canceled. We were elated she arrived from Colorado to care for our two cats, Diesel and Abby, for 3 weeks! For almost 3 weeks, Rebecca kept us updated with many pictures, videos, and FaceTime chats of the cats, and it was very evident she was taking great care of Diesel and Abby. We are extremely pleased and satisfied with the care our cats received, we couldn't be happier with her. Three days before the petsit ended, Rebecca met a man in the neighborhood and asked us if it would be ok if he could visit her at our home and both swim in our pool. We told Rebecca that per our agreement, third parties are not allowed on the property. Rebecca became very upset with our decision and told us she was ending the sit immediately saying she would ensure the cats were fed and watered and there would be no contact with her after she left. She left about 2 hours later. We were left stunned. We had previously discussed she could end her sit a day or two early if circumstances required for her return to Colorado, but it was obvious she left upset over our decision to uphold our no third-party policy. Rebecca agreed to the "No third-parties policy", which we discussed with Rebecca before she agreed to the sit and again just before we left on our extended trip. There also must have been a misunderstanding that we were providing Rebecca our food, soda, and energy drinks during her sit as a significant amount of frozen food, canned food, and our beverage supply stored in our garage was depleted. We assumed that she would be responsible for her meals, but since there was not a specific discussion about this I will chalk it up as a lesson learned and assume she believed food and beverages were provided. All that said, it's worth repeating Rebecca did an outstanding job caring for our cats, which was priority #1. We returned to a clean home and healthy and happy cats. I would give her 10 stars in that category, if I could. Our hearts ache and are disappointed that the sit ended so abruptly with Rebecca upset at us for us just adhering to our no third-parties allowed on property policy.

I’m happy to have found Tim. This was our second Housesit. Where sometimes I leave my cat with home exchange people, I never feel as confident that she will be as loved, attended to and played with, as much as with Tim. He’s so easy to communicate with, and conscientious. A real find. Thankyou Tim!

LaShanda was available for last minute short sit, I appreciated her responsiveness' flexibility. She provided regular updates, was very thorough. I came home to a clean home and 2 happy kitties, I would love a return sit from LaShanda in the future!
