Pros: Brandi was a very nice person. I came home to my kitty and she was all good. She was flexible with her dates. Cons: Brandi stated she left August 11th but the video shows her leaving on the 10th, so she was dishonest. She mention my cat food having bugs in them so she threw out a whole half bag of hard food. My apartment is kept very tidy, theee only reason flies come out is if fruit is left out and she must have left food or something out that attracted the bugs. We originally discussed her only house sitting a month so she could allow client's from peer space in the apartment and sell off or receive furniture. I was lucky enough that she agreed to sit for meadow as well. My gut told me to hold off on peer space because I was getting good cell service at my silent retreat. I'm so so so so glad I did after seeing how she left my apartment floors and bathroom. She would of had to clean up after each peer space and I feel clients would have not been happy with the cleanliness. I don't even have living room furniture yet, just boxes so it should have been a breeze to sweep, vacuum, mop. There's plenty of cleaning rags and cleaners. I have white floors and she must have used dirty mop water all throughout the floor. Dirty streaks and foot prints all over the floor. She left the dirty mop water with the mop in it right in the living room. When mopping a bug place like mine you at least need to change the water four to six times. There was cereal left out and open. Cat food was left open on the counter. Water bowl didn't look clean, full of fur on top. Cereal crumbs on the floor. Coffee bean sprinkles on the cabinets. I usually leave my dishwasher cracked. She must have closed it shut and never opened it ever....because four wooden pieces inside molded over. It was full of clean dishes, pots, pans, utensils, etc. Her hair products on the sink. Empty raw sugar box left in cabinet. Bathroom: sink was sticky, toilet had poop stains (smh I had to clean), and my precious bath tub was filthy. There was black specks in it and I had to wash it four times at least before soaking. I looked forward to coming home and relaxing but I cleaned 3-4 hours. I didn't except her to leave it immaculate however this was more than just touching up for me. There were multiple finger and hand prints on the walls from make up and whatever else was on her hands. This was in my hallway, bedroom, and bathroom. Bedroom: bedroom was ok, some cereal crumbs on the bed and under but nothing major. The bedding was left in the dryer, which was ok but it smelled odd so I re washed it. Two weeks in and she sent a few photos but definitely not daily. Also, two weeks in I became pretty sick and needed to come home to go to the doctor for a few days. I offered to sleep in the living room but her dad lived close by so I guess she said shed make other arrangements so she would have gone there possibly. A day later she requested to end the stay early, which was fine yet very inconvenient. I ended up going to emergency room upstate. She was patient with me and I decided not to travel back home while sick so we agreed on the 11th. She kept mentioning that I could come back earlier if I wanted to. I guess maybe the train sound got to her. I had a feeling she left early, but the video confirmed it. Not sure why she would think that I wouldn't verify. The cameras are visible outside my door.

Debra
It was truly a delight to cat-sit in Debra's lovely home. Can't say enough good things! Maddie is a beautiful sweet-hearted cat who, while a bit wary of new friends, warms up when given time - it's worth the wait. :)  Maddie and I had good times playing and staring out at the window together watching ALL THE DEER. The location is quiet and peaceful, and of course the area is marvelous. Debra and her husband were so kind and warm, as well as super organized and on top of everything, with great systems in place that made everything go smoothly. Would happily stay with Maddie again!

Selin
We loved prince, is so cute and lovely 😊, prince is really easygoing, adorable and playfully. Was a pleasure to take cared. Also Selin & Dylan was so kind with us, very communicative and always pending and their home is very comfortable.

The location is great, pretty close to train stop and close to the downtown.

Penni
We had a lovely 2,5 weeks in Acton looking after Berti. Berti loves long walks and so do we. Together we explored the beautiful area extensively. As Berti travels well by car, we took her to the Welsh Hills, Peak District, Sanstone trail, canal walks and other nice areas nearby. We always used the long line as she loves exploring. Meeting other dogs was sometimes a challenge, as Berti is a bit anxious. Calm, clear and  strong guidance, and comforting her are an absolute must. We bonded really quickly with Berti. She is such a sweet and affectionate dog. She gives you so much love. Penni and Tom are very welcoming hosts. Easy to communicate with. After 5 minutes we felt we knew eachother already for ages. They left the cosy house neat and tidy, which we much appreciated. The house isn't big, but is comfortable and atmospheric with lots of decorations. A place where you feel at home quickly. Nearby Nantwich has plenty of supermarkets (2 miles away). Thanks Berti, Penni and Tom for having us!

Marcia
We loved housesitting for Marcia & Lee and looking after Noodle. Noodle takes a bit of time to warm up and to get to know you but once you are past that, she has so much love to give and is such a sweetheart - we are totally missing her. We'd housesit for them again anytime. Thank you for inviting us!

Great spot outside of DC close to a metro and awesome house and hosts! Arianna made it so easy with instructions and the home was clean and comfy. And Nugget, what a character! So adorable and fun! Just love that kitty!

Trinity
Mary and I had a a wonderful 5 days in Trinity and Paul's beautiful villa in the hills above Sayalonga. The day before they left, they were great company and treated us to a lovely meal before they went off to Valencia. We were also introduced to 'the boys' - Max, Connor and Gillon. The two Jack Russells are great little characters - Connor will fetch ball all day long and Max likes a good sparring match, worrying his assortment of ropes. Gillon is a magnificent looking Afghan but thinks he's a Jack Russell, enjoying rough and tumble with Max. 
The villa itself has some of the most spectacular views in Andalusia, the sunsets in the evening quite breathtaking.
Mary and I can definitely recommend this house-sit and would love to return at some point in the future.
