This was a tough review to write, but needed. I have had over dozen sits so far on this website so I have become accustomed to (and expect) responsive and communicative sitters. First, Richard and Sharon arrived 2 hours after their stated time (which was even later than what we had originally agreed upon weeks prior). As a consequence, my son was unable to show them the eye care for his cat and so I had to do it. This caused me to be an hour late for my shift. Second, they didn’t read the manual ahead of time. I spent a lot of time making it (and revising it over the last couple of years) and I emailed it way ahead of time with accompanying photos. It was annoying to have to show them where everything was in the house as this could have been avoided had they actually opened their emails from me prior to the sit. Third, they don’t know how to use a mobile phone very well and did not download the recommended app necessary to find the cats if they went hiding (TILE). No other sitter has had this issue- it’s super easy. Fourth, I did not get any updates from them without specifically prompting them and no photos of the pets, at all, for the entire week they were staying. Finally, they went to the beach and got sand on the tables and didn’t clean them- so my son unwittingly placed his laptop computer on the coffee table and scratched up the bottom. All in all, they are very nice, but I am pretty disappointed about this sit.

We were very happy to have Dee sitting for us, she was wonderful with our dogs and cats, who all bonded with her.
She’s very tidy and organised, we have already booked her for another sit, as that sitter had to cancel due to passport and visa issues.
I’d highly recommend her.

Samantha + Austin were amazing guests to have in my home! They were communicative, relaxed and made the whole experience so wonderful. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my dog, Bernie, was well taken care of and loved! I enjoyed receiving daily picture updates and would absolutely hope to use their services again in the future!
