When we met Orion for the first time, we liked that they were genuinely eager and excited to spend time with our cats. When they came by the house to pick up the key, we showed them around, gave additional instructions, and asked them several times if they had any questions or needed to know about anything else. They confirmed they were fine. However, upon our return, we discovered that some of our instructions were not followed. We told them that we preferred the cats to only go out once a day and that they needed to be back in before sunset because of the coyotes. There is a cat door that has different settings to let them in/out, out only, in only. They left the cat door in/out which was noticeable upon our return because we came home at 8pm and both cats were still outside. In terms of tidiness, we think they did a decent job with cleaning up after themselves, but we were a bit taken aback seeing leftover food in the fridge and having to take out their trash. They also left something at our place, which they later picked up. In terms of communication, we think it was a little bit difficult. There were a few times we asked them a question or stated a preference, and they would not respond or answer our question. It made us confused, like perhaps we miscommunicated or they misunderstood us, but we would not receive an answer. Overall, though, Orion genuinely seemed to enjoy the company of our cats, and for this we appreciate. On the other hand, we’ve learned that we will need to outline all of our expectations in written form for future house sitters and make sure that the sitters understand and agree to them because we didn't feel understood during this house sit.

Daniel was our first sitter and best choice ever! We were feeling a bit uneasy and out of our comfort zone in trying this site out, but after several interviews with folks (99% were amazing!), we decided on Daniel who we just vibed with. He asked all the questions that we weren’t aware of to ask up front. Set up meet and greets to ours and our pets comfort levels. He followed up with detailed instructions/welcome guide so that things could be as clear as possible. And finally, he stayed in touch during our 2.5 weeks (we asked for occasional pics and updates that wasn’t too inundating) perfectly. The house was clean and tidy when we returned and he even left a lovely note and gift. Thank you Daniel!! Hope you are free next time around! Highly recommend Daniel!

Beth was fantastic! She took great care of our dog, great care of our house, and was super communicative before and during the stay. We had a wonderful experience and hope Beth house sits for us again someday!

Shannon is wonderful housesitter!!  She is responsible, organized & has great judgement. She is very resourceful, self sufficient and accommodating. She housesat for us in the past and took very good care of our demanding pup. We were very pleased. 
We invited her to do this Aug-Sept assignment but unfortunately she was unavailable for these dates. We then chose another housesitter well in advance of the assignment but sadly, that "zeewoi member" walked away from our assignment with short notice. Luckily, the stars were aligned as Shannon had a schedule change and was able to accommodate us.

We have a large koi pond that needed regular maintenance during this period and she did a fabulous job maintaining that system & caring for the fish. There were also a couple of house maintenance issues that popped up that she handled extremely well. 
For anyone thinking of choosing Shannon, please rest assured that your home & pets would be left in good hands!
