I wish I could give Alexis a glowing review, but unfortunately I probably wouldn't have her house and petsit for us again. She was so bad at communication that I worried she might not even show up. There were several times I reached out to her on zeewoi and her phone, and I often didn't hear back for days and only then I'd have to ping her again to get her to respond. After I shared all my housesitting info, I asked if she had any questions, she assured me she read everything and didn't have any questions, but then she clearly did not read through well because she missed some important stuff. A major one was that I had asked her to arrive mid morning because we had left out at 5am and my dog would need to go out around that time. I asked her ETA that day, and she told me she wouldn't be able to be there until 5pm and asked if that would be a problem. That struck me as a problematic question. She arrived around 6-7 hours after I asked her to and didn't think that would be an issue. So, I had to scramble to find a friend to go by and let my dog out. She also texted me for the address and how to get into the house. It was all in the info that she assured me she had already read through. Our pets seemed to be fine when we got home so that is the most important, but many requests I made or instructions I left were just not done. Some of it was related to how I give water to my cat and change his litterbox, but some was household related. A bunch of my plants died-- my whole vegetable garden as well as plants in my yard were completely dried up. Alexis happened to still be at the house when I arrived home. She showed me where packages were, but when I asked about where she had put my mail, she said that she had forgotten to check it and it was probably overflowing. Overall, I feel like I upheld my side by providing a clean, comfortable house and clear instructions, but I feel like she did not uphold her side of the agreement by caring for my house well by reading through and following the instructions I left for her.

Floss and her wonderful family welcomed us with open arms and even invited us to stay the night before they left (which made life a lot easier for us too) 
It’s a beautiful old home with a log burner that Scout and I shared most nights for cuddles. 
Scout is the sweetest little kitty and you wouldn’t think she’s 13. She loves all her meals and has the cutest yell cry while you’re preparing her chicken. As soon as Johnathan sat on the couch it wouldn’t matter where she was in the house she’d coming running to sit on his lap for cuddles! 
The kitchen is so huge it made staying home and cooking meals so wonderful. 
There’s a bus stop outside, but we walked everywhere as we were lucky enough to have a mostly dry stay - the historic docks are beautiful. There’s also a lovely park right across the road. 
Thank you for having us

Fred was very easy to chat with from the off. He went through everything I needed to know about the sit, looking after sweet little Mia and his lovely home.

Mia, though elderly is very much still on it, she has her own mind and is bright and friendly. She’s a very gentle character, affectionate and still enjoys a little play.

Great location in Hove, so close to the beach and Brighton. Everything within easy access.

Thank you Fred and Mia.

Mary
Mary's home is so comfortable, and the location in Oceanside/Vista is perfect. Her kitties are delightful - very sweet and low maintenance. Mary left detailed notes that answered every question that came up. The neighborhood is peaceful and the neighbors were so welcoming - they introduced themselves and I felt like part of the neighborhood. I would sit for Mary again anytime!

Jaci and Stephen were incredibly kind hosts. We got to meet them before our housesit and they made sure we had everything we needed. Their home is beautiful, inviting, and peaceful. Brown Dog and Scout were timid at first but nothing treats and some TLC couldn’t overcome. Highly recommend to any other house sitter! Thank you for the aloha.

Two of the sweetest dogs ever who love to cuddle in bed and enjoy their beach walks! Lovely house with all the mod cons including a fantastic swimming pool, and Anna is very welcoming and hospitable. Also great location, with plenty of shops and restaurants all close by. Highly recommended sit!
