Sometimes five stars just aren’t enough. This sit was one of those times. Leah and Corey were truly excellent. They were organized, resourceful, conscientious, and genuinely nice people. They communicated clearly and provided daily updates on how things were going with our dogs and the house. I noticed from the reports that our doggies were getting lots of love and attention. Leah and Corey had to leave a few hours before we arrived home so we weren’t able to thank them in person for taking great care of our house and the dogs. When we returned, everything was in perfect order. I rate them 5+ 🌟 for their handling of extra sit details, including an emergency. The extras: One of our dogs has chronic health issues that require a slightly complicated medication regimen. That was no problem for Leah and Corey, they got everything right and Emma was looking better and running with more enthusiasm than when we left. The emergency: Our other dog had an emergency after encountering a porcupine. The complication was that this occurred on Good Friday, probably the most difficult day of the year to find a veterinarian. We were sent a notification message, but by time we saw it, Leah and Corey had already researched how to deal with the situation, determined that a veterinarian would be required, and proceeded exactly as we would have done ourselves! All this to say Leah and Corey took excellent care of our four-legged family and our home and we recommend them totally without reservation.

Jonathan's communication before and during the stay was great. found We received pictures of the dogs on a regular basis. Upon my return though I was dismayed with the condition of the house. He had left a message that he cleaned "some what," but it was very evident that meant no cleaning. The kitchen was a mess with dried food stains on counter surfaces, on the floor and the table. I washed the face of all of the cabinets the day before he arrived and returned to a purple substance splashed up one cabinet, on the counter, the lower cabinet, dishwasher and the floor. Maybe a smoothie explosion? Dried egg on the counter and stove, coffee stains on both the Keurig and the counter. Stainless fridge had full messy hand prints all the way up on the freezer and top section. Floors were gritty with sand from the yard. The toilets after two weeks of use were in disgusting condition! He didn't strip the bed claiming he slept on top, but that still means the cover and pillowcases would need washing. He told me his car leaked oil and he would put a piece of cardboard under it, but the driveway now has an oil puddle on it. After explaining how strict our city is with food waste recycling and which can it needs to go into, there is a lot of food waste in the wrong can. While cleaning I discovered a still damp dog pee spot on the oriental rug in the master bedroom that tells me dogs were not let out first thing on a morning. Because it sat several days there is now a yellow stain on the rug. This is only my second time using a sitter and this was a real disappointment.

Capri was an excellent sitter for our untrusting rescue, Sabrina. She was patient and was finally rewarded with some pets. It was a seamless trip for us--we came home to a happy cat and clean house. Capri was communicative since I was nervous about how Sabrina would react to someone new. I hope she will do a repeat sit for us someday!!
