I had a troubling experience with Victoria that I feel is necessary to share because I believe it’s important for others in this community to be aware of what happened.   Victoria informed me she was leaving day 6 into an 18 day stay with a little more than 12 hours notice while I was 600 miles away with no backup plan for our dog Jackson.    The first few days with Jackson went well. She communicated when I reached out along with pictures of them laying together on the couch and getting along very well.  On day 6 she texted me to say Jackson had growled at her while physically trying to get him up from laying on her.  She said she was frightened and asked if I had anyone else that could watch him.   I immediately called her to try to understand what happened and explained that he was most likely startled rather than wanting to attack her. As I was asking questions about the incident, as I felt I had a right to do, she became extremely defensive and yelled at me on the phone. Admittedly my voice was heightened due to panic but I did not yell. I was simply trying to understand the extreme change in her demeanor from previously texting me she doesn’t easily get flustered, stressed or live in fear to being so frightened she wanted to leave. Knowing my questions upset her I apologized however after ending our call she immediately texted and said she was leaving at 10am.   Despite repeatedly telling her that my son, who lives nearby, was out of town, and that I had no other options, she showed no consideration for my situation. Her decision to simply leave our dog stranded was incredibly distressing. I had to cancel my evening plans to find alternate arrangements for the remainder of our trip, which, happens to be my other son’s wedding.   While there are other details that aren’t directly related to her pet-sitting duties, I believe it’s important to highlight the lack of professionalism and consideration she showed. I hope this review helps others make an informed decision through my experience.

Very highly recommended! 
From the initial contact I was impressed with how Simon was at once professional and prepared, while also being laid-back and easy-going. As this was my first time using such a service,  I was a bit nervous,  but Simon put my mind at ease. 
Communication was frequent and solid before and during the sit,  and I especially enjoyed the daily photos /videos! It made me happy to know that my two girls (island dogs) were happy and healthy while I was away. 
The small touches are so precious, and some of my favorites were: 
1) when I was scheduled to arrive home, Simon waited on the dock with Vickie and Tigra for our boat to pull in and I got to watch my girls fill with joy when they came to realize that it was me coming home. 
And 2) my older dog,  Vickie, turned 12 while I was away, and Simon made her a little birthday card and a celebration. 
Absolutely a beautiful experience and I would recommend Simon to anyone looking for a quality sitter.

Ashleigh is an amazing sitter! She communicated well and was super organized and thoughtful. She cared for my cat Lingling very well and gave her lots of love and attention and sent me photos of her often which i loved since I was away for about two weeks. Ashleigh left my apartment totally clean, I appreciated this so much! I highly recommend her as a sitter and would definitely invite her back to sit.

Milton is a great conversationalist and took such good care of my dog, Dominga, and my house. I always ask sitters to arrive the afternoon before I plan to leave, so they can get acquainted with Dominga and the house, and then to plan on remaining until the day after I return, in case something interferes with my return plans. Besides doing a good job with Dominga and the house, it was very comfortable having Milton spend the extra time with us. It would be great to have him come for a future sit.

Tuna and Catcow are amazing pets! It was so easy to take care of them.  I miss them already! The house has everything that I needed it and  the location is near bus stops that conects you to the Bart system. My comunication with Amy was easy too. I definitely recommend this house sitting!
