Joseph took care of our cat and house-sat for us for 2 weeks. In advance of our trip, we were able to do both a virtual and in-person meet and greet to ensure everyone felt comfortable and do a walk through of the house, which we really appreciated.While we were away, Joseph responded quickly to texts/any questions we sent and provided photo and text updates every 1-2 days. Upon our return, our cat seemed happy. Unfortunately, the day of our return, Joseph accidentally locked himself out of our house. He communicated with us and we were able to provide him access to a backup key. However, when we returned home about an hour and a quarter later, we were surprised to find that he was still there (he was supposed to have left much earlier in the day before we arrived home, and we knew he was running a little behind because of the lockout, but he didn’t tell us he would still be there when we walked in). He texted us that the house was clean and ready for us, but unfortunately the house was not clean and the cat litter boxes were quite smelly and appeared not to have been changed or scooped in many days. While we realize that getting locked out of the house created some delays in getting packed and tidying the house, we were upset to find the kitty litter in that state and for the clear disorganization, at least in the final day. We provided this feedback directly to Joseph and hope that this was a one-time experience. However, we would urge clear communication around any expectations for cleaning, communication, and care.

Steven
We had a great stay at Mary and Steve's house with their 3 dogs. The dogs were very loving and low maintenance, and the house was very welcoming for guests. No problems and communication was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed the dogs and the house sitting retreat!

We had a great time watching after Jax and Birdie. They were very friendly and affectionate. Windy was a gracious host and was always easy to reach by text. The home is beautiful and comfortable. Hope to be back!

Paola
This was my first experience as a petsitter and I loved it! Paola is such an attentive woman, always very happy and fun. 
Her companions Luva and Chelsea are two sweethearts! They are very loving, they love company and receive love as well. Luva, regardless of her age, has TONS of energy, she has such a young spirit 🥰. Chelsea as way more energy, she loves to run around and play with people and dogs, she is also very curious. 
Regarding the location...it is amazing! a lot of green areas around to walk the dogs! 
Undoubtedly, this was one of the best experience!

I had an amazing time in Claudia's place with Coffee. He is such a playful and adorable cat. He is always happy to get your attention for a playful game and will play by himself if you're working on your laptop. 
The apartment is clean, tidy, close to convenient transport, and has access to a gym on the same floor! 
Claudia is a lovely, respectful, and friendly host. Communication with her was great. 
Thank you Claudia, hoping to come again in the future 🙏 ❤️

Susan's condo is located in a magnificent area, with two pools and a gym available - this was a great boon, as the temperatures started to soar and exceed 100 degrees. Her cat was as sweet and playful as could be, and so silent that she was almost invisible.
